Urban farmer promotes farms and health as head of state agency
Orange County is one of California's most urban areas, thanks to its amazing combination of climate, scenery, sunshine and attractions.
Orange County is one of California's most urban areas, thanks to its amazing combination of climate, scenery, sunshine and attractions. But it's also where you'll find $300 million worth of food grown each year. One of those still in the fields is A.G. Kawamura, a third-generation farmer who also serves as secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
A.G. has the immense job of promoting and protecting the state's farms and ranches - work that helps assure an abundant, affordable food supply in supermarkets. He travels far and wide to tell the story of how having plenty of good quality food at the store helps us all achieve a balanced diet.
"We spend a lot of time making our plants reach their full potential," Kawamura said while in his green bean field in Irvine. "That's what we're trying to do with children across the nation. We want them to reach their full physiological potential by paying attention to their diet."
A.G. has helped fight hunger in several ways, including spearheading the Incredible Edible Park in Irvine. This unusual park, complete with four acres of crops, used to be an apartment complex. Here, students pick the crops, which then head to an area food bank for the needy.
He also loves to see young people get their hands in the soil and learn firsthand about growing food. One of his favorite stops is Los Cerritos Elementary in nearby Long Beach, the site of an award-winning garden.
"I will tell you that if a child grows food, takes care of it, and harvests it, you've got them hooked forever," Kawamura said.
Helping California farmers and consumers is all in a day's work for A.G. Kawamura.
"Trying to provide an opportunity to have people get more connected with agriculture is good," he said. "It's a complicated world we live in but here's one of the most fundamental things in the world. You have sunshine, soil, water and we're trying to make a crop thrive and there's a lot of lessons you can take from that and apply to your daily life."

It's hard to believe it is already that time to start thinking about the coming school year. The back-to-school season is here folks! The gals of Home Matters have put together some fabulous tips and ideas for having some fun, getting ready for school, and helping the kids have a successful year.
Enjoyed your features this week and now I'm hungry 😉 Thanks for the always inspiring party Lorelai and have a great weekend!


Here's another post that has sat in my drafts for sometime.
I had taken several photos and for some reason my SD card in my camera decided it would corrupt the pictures. Not happy!
Bake the eggplants in a preheated 200C oven for 30 minutes until softened. Make sure you have pierced the flesh in several places with a fork so they don't explode.
Cut the eggplants in half lengthways, and scoop out the softened flesh, leaving a small border (approx 1cm) around the edge of the eggplant.
Lay them out on a baking tray.
Chop the onion, garlic, and capsicum.
Stir all the vegetables in a large bowl and combine with the drained lentils, nutritional yeast, herbs, quinoa and passata. Chop the flesh of the eggplant that was removed and stir this into the mixture too (optional - it also makes a great dip if you don't want to add it to this mixture!).
Scoop the mixture into the cooked eggplants. Fill them quite well as this will give the eggplant case back its shape. Press the mixture down quite firmly.
Drizzle a line of passata over the quinoa mixture (this is purely for presentation purposes, cause I think it looks better than just the plain mixture, salsa also works fantastic or any other sauce you'd rather).
Reduce the oven temperature to 180C and bake the eggplants, now stuffed, for a further 20 minutes until warmed through completely.
My husband took one bite into these & spat it out, declaring how awful they were!!!
I was chuckling to myself because I realised he had eaten the top of the eggplant! I thought everyone knew you weren't supposed to eat the top of eggplants - clearly not!
So I highly recommend removing the eggplant tops prior to putting these on plates.
After his initial opinion of this meal, he decided they were actually quite delicious!
Submitted for Healthy Vegan Fridays.
Have you ever accidently eaten the top of an eggplant?
I've had this post sitting in my drafts folder since February.... waiting for me to re-do the recipes and take better pictures. However, since filo pastry is such a rare treat in our home it hasn't happened! And we have refined our diet even more in the last few months so the chances of filo making a re-appearance are now even more rare than previously!
So you'll just have to trust me when I say that even though the pictures are not the greatest, that each of these is totally delicious!!!!!
There is something tremendously comforting for me about rolling up filo pastry.
Perhaps it's having to be so tender so the pastry doesn't tear.
Perhaps it's experimenting with the many different types of fillings.
Perhaps it's the excitement of feeling like we're having something a little bit fancy for dinner even though it's really easy to make.
Perhaps it's the fun of brushing over them knowing that their pale skin is going to come out brown and blistered when it's baked.
Whatever it is, I recommend you try these fillings!
And be sure to let me know if you find rolling filo pastry just as comforting as I do!!!
Although they reheat well, the pastry is never quite the same as when they are fresh from the oven.
For each of these recipes I will give quantities to make 4-5 pastries depending on how generous you are with your fillings.
The instructions are the same for each filling - just different ingredients are used.
Place approximately a 1/2 cup of the filling onto 2-3 sheets of the filo pastry in the center and roll the pastry up, being sure to tuck the ends in to minimalise leakage.
Place on a lined baking tray and brush with plant milk.
Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Do you use filo pastry?
What are some of your favourite fillers?
My daughter has decided that she quite loves quinoa! This is thanks to her testing out a Dreena Burton recipe. So this means now she requests it for her lunchbox salad. We don't often eat quinoa, but I had a batch made up this week and with a few leftover bits and pieces from a Mexican-inspired meal we had prepared earlier in the week this delicious salad was created.
Nevermind the kids! I reckon this lunchbox meal would please any adult too!
Stir a tablespoon of salsa into the quinoa and mix well.
Add the other ingredients and stir through. Top with the remaining tablespoon of salsa.

Idea: Connector - Elastic Search / Kibana?
Toby - Good idea....Omniscope is ideal for automatically archiving local copies of search-engine aggregated and structured web event 'timeslices' cheaply as compact, accessible and easily re-usable IOK files. Indeed, an expanding folder of periodic IOK 'timeslice' files is effectively a local 'datamart' that other Omniscope files can access for batch analytics as if the archive folder were single file using the Batch Append operation.
For those not familiar, Elastic Search (ES) is an open source, distributed, schema-less and RESTful search engine based on Apache Lucene. It has some very powerful features, including geo-spatial search on geo-tagged events. It runs at scale on most cloud cluster platform-as-a-service accounts, including MS Azure. Kibana is ES's visual interface for monitoring the activities and results of the search/aggregation cluster, e.g. most searched terms, sequences etc.
ES and associated tools are all open source and have Java APIs for almost everything, so close integration with Omniscope is likely very do-able...can you post a sample of what types of data sets you are currently pulling and the types of queries that you are using to pull them? How would you integrate the ES-sourced data with other data sets?
Does Kibana not give you any export options for the data it is displaying?
We currently use Elastic search for a wide range of tasks, including rate search speed-ups, but we archive data for Audit trails for manual and pricing updates (we are an online hotel sales company, among other things). We also log every search performed on the site (anonymously) and report on the available v unavailable hotels. This "big data", to latch onto a phrase, is easily summarised in terms of "hotels that have low availability", "destinations with high availability" among other things, which can be reported on a daily basis based on this large data. So to start with, our first implementation would be to display a chart in Visokio of bookings made in certain destination versus the availability scores, but it would be great to be able to pull varying data ranges, and use visokio's slider interfaces to pull these across.
We could also cross reference cancellations in Visiokio, payments, deposits and costs to perform real analysis of various decisions we make.
Are you archiving the live data in Hadoop, then using ES as a Hadoop query tool, or pointing ES directly at source files?

2022 JUDGING PANEL
Winning Projects 2021
2016 ISGAN AWARD OF EXCELLENCE - Award Honorees
CenterPoint Energy Smart Grid
http://www.centerpointenergy.com/smartmeters
The CenterPoint Energy (CNP) Smart Grid project's overarching goal is to integrate smart grid technologies to make the electric grid of the future more reliable, affordable, safe and secure while integrating distributed energy resources and facilitating new energy products and services. The CNP Smart Grid integrates multiple smart grid technologies, systems and approaches to deliver reliable electric services to 2.3 million metered customers in Southeast Texas. After experiencing devastating infrastructure and reliability losses as the result of the 2008 Hurricane Ike, CNP, with the assistance of U.S. Department of Energy funding and technical assistance, invested heavily in the advancement of smart grid systems to improve grid reliability and resilience in their region. The current CNP Smart Grid was informed by previously completed pilot programs, which helped fine-tune the overall approach and implementation strategies.
The implementation of the full-scale CNP Smart Grid is composed of a set of smart grid technologies and systems, including the Advanced Metering System (AMS), Intelligent Grid (IG), Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) and a private telecommunications network. Broad participation and engagement by consumers and continuous management and justification of the economic rationale of smart grid systems have been critical elements to the success and impact of the CNP Smart Grid. For example, CNP completed cost-benefit analyses for key components of the smart grid system and has also focused on helping consumers save energy and money by facilitating such tools and energy retailer offerings as In-Home Displays (automated usage reports) and peak-time rebates. CNP Smart Grid data analytics have helped improve the situational awareness displays showing outage case details and available restoration resources in geospatial formats so controllers can more quickly and effectively identify trouble spots.
Over the last five years, CNP has deployed fully operational advanced meters to virtually all 2.3 million metered customers, automated 31 substations, installed 859 Intelligent Grid Switching Devices (IGSDs) on more than 200 circuits, built a wireless telecommunications network across the company's 5,000-square mile electric footprint, and enabled real-time grid monitoring and control, leveraging information from smart meters and field sensors to manage systems events through the "brain" (ADMS) of the CNP Smart Grid. Key results include over 134 million customer outage minutes saved (a 20 percent reliability improvement on Intelligent Grid circuits), the restoration of over 1.5 million outage cases without a single customer phone call, millions of dollars in savings to consumers, and avoidance of nearly 12.8 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
ESS for Frequency Regulation of KEPCO
Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO)
http://www.kepco.co.kr
The"ESS for Frequency Regulation of KEPCO" project is focused on using energy storage systems (ESS) to assist in frequency regulation to improve the reliability of the power grid. The ESS utilized as part of this project allows electricity storage at large capacities and can provide rated power to the system 20 times faster than thermal power generators. The project initially began with a pilot project where KEPCO installed ESS in the form of a 4 MW power conversation system and 8 MWh batteries in the Jocheon substation on Jeju Island in 2011 to demonstrate the system capabilities in the form of frequency regulation, peak management and higher stability of renewable energy. After completing this successful pilot, KEPCO then used the information to build a larger scale ESS (52 MW) in Seo-Ansung and Sin-Yongin substations. KEPCO now has plans to integrate ESS for frequency regulation with a total capacity of 500 MW by 2017 and has already completed the construction of 236 MW of ESS. An evaluation of the 2014 ESS installation estimated a cost savings of $3.6 million from July to December 2015.
Because the Republic of Korea is located on a peninsula with water surrounding three sides, the Korean power grid system is independently operated with the rated frequency being maintained for stable operation. To prepare for grid events, such as a loss of power from a large generators shutting down, a power reserve of 1500 MW is maintained and Korea limits the output of thermal plants to 95 percent to help maintain this reserve. Korea has one of the highest levels of power quality and stability in the world; however, to compensate for this reserve, some higher cost generators need to operate at higher than optimal levels. When ESS can be utilized to reduce these reserve needs, KEPCO better optimizes the economic and environmental dispatch of power generation while ensuring reliability to customers
KEPCO's ESS for Frequency Regulation project has provided an opportunity to facilitate a new energy industry and smart grid market in Korea. The increase in performance and decrease in cost for energy management systems, power conversation systems, and batteries, which are essential for smart grids, gave opportunities for companies to participate in this business and allowed early commercialization of smart grids. The full implementation of ESS will enable broader adoption of renewable energy sources while maintaining the reliability of the grid. In addition, KEPCO has established purchase specifications to ensure the quality of ESS installations and has created maintenance procedures and test procedures for stable operation, which could easily be adopted in other locations throughout the world. Apart from the cost savings and clean energy environmental benefits, the ESS for Frequency Regulation project stimulated the growth of new energy businesses in Korea.
Automated Impedance Fault Map Prediction for Smart Grid Systems
NextEra Energy – Florida Power & Light Company
https://www.fpl.com/smart-meters/smart-grid.html
"The Automated Impedance Fault Map Prediction for Smart Grid Systems" project is part of an overarching effort by Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) to build a stronger, smarter grid and deliver the most reliable electric service in the United States. The Automated Impedance Fault Map Prediction project is focused on lowering the risk of a momentary event or outage by utilizing a state-of-the-art diagnostic center and fault mapping system for smart grid devices and systems.
Momentary power outages, or flickers, are brief power outages lasting less than one minute that can occur at any time of the day. Flickers are caused by a number of factors, including lightning strikes, damaged electrical equipment, vegetation, and animals. The flickers occur when the electric system detects interference on the power line and then shuts off momentarily to allow the system to determine if there is a break in the line. This process helps isolate the problem area and prevent damage to the grid and can prevent longer outages that effect more customers. Because the State of Florida experiences some of the highest rates of lightning strikes in the U.S., these flickers are one of the leading causes of customer dissatisfaction.
FPL has long used an impedance fault map process based on industry standards to identify the most probable locations and causes of momentary outages. This conventional fault mapping process takes more than three days to generate a fault map and this inefficient process resulted in 42 percent failure rate in detecting and predicting problem areas. In 2015, FPL deployed a number of different smart grid technologies, including automated feeder and lateral switches and fault current indicators to reduce customer interruptions. The automated switches automatically detect, clear, and isolate faults, while the indicators provide information on the faults, line disturbances and event wave form. This automated impedance fault map enables quicker and better momentary investigations providing FPL with the opportunity to proactively mitigate disturbances before they can affect customers and improves the reliability of the grid.
This project has had a significant impact on grid reliability, with a location detection accuracy rate of 85 percent, and automated response that follows the detection. FPL experienced a 35 percent reduction in"flicker" complaints as a result of these improvements. This project, in combination with other smart grid technologies and systems, has increased FPL's reliability by more than 25 percent over the past five years. This equates to over $46 million in savings in 2015 due to the avoidance of multiple restoration trips, costs to dispatch trucks and other related costs. More than 680,000 customer interruptions have been avoided, and restoration times and customer minutes interrupted each have been reduced by 8 percent. The FPL service territory and has maintained a reliability rating of more than 99.98 percent.
Unlocking Reliable Demand
-Side Capacity in Columbia Without Adding Generation
(Selected for Special Recognition for Potential for Replication)
Innovari and EMCALI (Empresas Municipales de Cali)
EMCALI is one of the five largest electric distribution companies in Columbia. This project focuses on the development and integration of an Interactive Energy Platform (IEP) that was used in a pilot program to optimize the integration of 1 MW in demand-side resources to help address peak load issues and stabilize the grid. The IEP involves installing a number of automated controls and management systems in commercial and industrial buildings, which then connect building system technologies within the building and can respond to signals from the grid. The platform works by engaging with customers and providing automated demand-side management response to reduce peak demand.
Columbia is a dominated by hydroelectric power, but in recent years has faced some of the worst droughts in its history, which has stressed the electricity system and worsened issues with reliability. The country has also faced natural gas shortages, wholesale generation volatility, and growing peak electricity demand. The EMCALI service territory experiences two peaks daily, year-round which adds approximately 800 peak hours a year. During the feasibility study, the IEP enabled EMCALI to automatically manage load through automated demand side management in nine commercial and industrial buildings and integrate one distributed generator for a total capacity of 1MW. In 2016, EMCALI aims to expand the 1 MW pilot to 25 MW and eventually leverage the IEP to offset the top 876 hours of peak demand (10 percent), which would offset 70 MW of generation and provide reliable demand-side capacity that is not subject to outside variables and forces like drought conditions.
As part of the pilot testing, the IEP provided utilities with an affordable capacity at half the cost of a peak-load generation plants. The IEP demonstrated that demand side resources offered the lowest-cost capacity alternative to generation and effective peak shaving capabilities. The platform also effectively engaged with customers such that participation in the program was sustained throughout the pilot. Customers realized a 6 percent reduction in energy expenses during the pilot.

Is it possible to create a plugin that listens to a generated url?
For instance a github incoming webhook, which fires a bash-script that the user had entered in a textarea.
In this case we can leverage auto-deployments on every code commit.
All pages and URLs within Directadmin can be accessed only with username/password. So I guess it's not what you need.
Unfortunatly I am looking for something to build a solution that triggers a deployment based on an incoming webhook by github for instance.
In that case on a deployment of new code it can be automaticly updated to the server.
So API integration is not particular an option, then I would have to build something like a SaaS or something for the API access.
That is not my intention, is there not a way that DirectAdmin can listen to urls? Seems so weird that webhook integration is not possible.
I don't understand why do you want to use Directadmin for it? Why don't you use git with git-shell installed on DA server?

How Alaska State Troopers tracked down murder suspect in Auburn
More than a quarter-century after a Native Alaskan woman was brutally slain in Fairbanks, authorities say they used the latest in DNA technology to identify her killer in Auburn.
By Randy BillingsPress Herald
Col. Barry Wilson, director of the Alaska State Troopers, speaks Friday in Anchorage, announcing the arrest in Auburn, Maine, of Steven Downs in the 1993 murder of Sophie Sergie, 20. At right is her brother Stephen Sergie, her mother, Elena Sergie, and Olga Tinker-John, Elena's niece. Comforting Olga is Alaska Department of Public Safety Commissioner Amanda Price.

Nearly 26 years ago, Steven H. Downs was just finishing his first year of college at the University of Alaska Fairbanks when a 20-year-old woman was brutally murdered there.
The Maine native lived on the third floor of Bartlett Hall – one floor above where Sophie Sergie, a Native Alaskan from Pitkas Point, was raped, repeatedly stabbed and shot in the back of the head in the girls bathroom.

Cold case: Suspect in 1993 Alaska slaying arrested in Auburn
At the time, the 18-year-old Downs and his roommate, a security guard working in the dorm, were briefly interviewed by investigators, but denied knowing anything about the sexual assault and murder. But on Friday, Downs, 44, was arrested in Auburn and charged with first degree murder and sexual assault in the case as the result of a breakthrough using DNA technology that helps people discover their genealogical roots.

That technology – which was also used to help authorities make an arrest last year in the Golden State Killer case in California – led Alaska State Troopers to Maine last week to make an arrest in the cold case.
A charging document filed Friday in District Court in Alaska reveals new details about how police homed in on Downs as a suspect. DNA voluntarily submitted by Downs' aunt, coupled with traditional genealogical research, led investigators to Downs, who was living in Auburn and working as a nurse.
The biological evidence at the heart of the case was collected on April 26, 1993. The evidence included DNA as well as a bullet from a .22-caliber firearm. But a lack of technology to process the DNA did not immediately produce any breakthroughs.
In 2000, a more advanced type of DNA analysis was used. Spermatozoa was discovered and the killer was determined to be a male. A DNA profile was uploaded to the Combined DNA Identification System and compared to known profiles. No identical match was found, meaning that no male criminal offenders with DNA profiles matched the profile of the killer.
"As the years went by, additional suspects were explored and DNA samples were collected, but all potential suspects were eliminated as the source of the unidentified DNA," Alaska Assistant Attorney General Paul Miovas Jr. wrote in the charging document. "By the end of 2003, the investigation had gone dormant."
The next break in the case came in 2010. Investigator James Stogsdill, who had just been assigned the case, interviewed Nicholas Dazer, who worked as a security guard in the dorm where Sergie was killed. Dazer was working the night of the murder and had helped secure the scene in 1993.
Sophie Sergie, 1993
Stogsdill decided to reinterview Dazer, because he was ultimately fired from his job as a security guard for possessing a firearm, which was not permitted in the dorm. Dazer denied having a .22-caliber firearm, but told Stogsdill that his roommate, Steven H. Downs, had an H&R model .22-caliber revolver, among other firearms. But apparently that wasn't enough for him to identify Downs as a "concrete subject," Miovas wrote. And Stogsdill retired before the case was solved.
Fast-forward to 2018, when a new investigator, Randy McPherron, decided to contact a lab that uses genealogical databases to identify suspects in unsolved cases. Police already had the genetic blueprint of the suspect. But the genealogical database could help identify relatives of the suspect. And the lab ultimately identified two promising matches and three potentially promising matches.
After additional study, investigators believed they had found the aunt of the killer. "Through a thorough process of elimination, the lab determined that the known relative to the DNA profile only had one possible second-degree relationship, her nephew, Steven H. Downs."
Further genealogical study traced Downs to Maine, where he was born and graduated from high school in 1992.
"Downs has no previous arrests, and his DNA has never been uploaded to the national database," Miovas wrote. "Thus, the sample in the database from Sergie's vaginal swab has never been previously compared to Downs' DNA profile."
Downs attended college in Fairbanks from 1992 to 1996. After living in Arizona for a period, he returned to Maine and was recently working as a nurse while living in Auburn, according to court records. Alaska State Troopers began working with Maine State Police and local police last week to devise a plan to contact Downs.
Downs told Alaskan and Maine investigators on Wednesday that he recalled Sergie's murder but had never met her and didn't know anything about it, according to the charging document. He also told police that he likely spent most of the night Sergie was killed in his girlfriend's dorm room on the fourth floor of the same building.
According to court records, an autopsy revealed that Sergie was stabbed twice in the right corner of her right eye while she was still alive. She was killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of her head. And she was stabbed again in the face after she had died. Other abrasions and marks were found on her body, which was discovered in a bathtub about 12 hours after she was killed.
Court records indicate a female student was showering in the girls bathroom at around 1:30 a.m. She told investigators that she heard noises, such as thumping and muffled voices, coming from the tub room, which shared a wall with her shower stall.
On Thursday, investigators searched Downs' residence at 132 Hillcrest St. in Auburn and obtained a DNA sample.
Within 24 hours, the Maine State Police Crime Lab processed the sample, which authorities now say points to Downs as the killer.
Downs was arrested without incident late Friday afternoon outside of the Fireside Inn on Washington Street in Auburn and is being held at the Androscoggin County Jail. He is expected to appear in court Tuesday and faces extradition to Alaska.

Video Game Consoles and Video Games
Games are defined as interactive activities in which people compete with each other in such a manner that the losers lose no rewards. There are countless types of games with various types of equipment used to play them. For instance, in computer games, individuals often utilize their keyboard or controllers to manipulate what's on a screen, including a television screen and electronic ones as well. Keyboards are frequently used for steering one's character. There are a variety of other types of controls as well. For instance, in a first-person shooter video game, an individual utilizes the keyboard or controller to move his character; he does this by pointing his mouse at an object in the screen that he wants to target and then clicking it.
In most other types of computer games, users utilize a joystick type of controller, which is similar to a hand-held controller. In addition, there are other types of additional controllers that may be utilized. The majority of video game consoles also come with joysticks, which enable users to maneuver their characters. These additional controllers provide for an individual to become more involved in the video game play and, therefore, are very popular.
Some video games have a connection to personal computer systems through the use of serial ports to communicate information between the two devices. One popular example of this type of connection is the usage of a serial cable to connect a personal computer to a personal gaming console. In this case, the computer is controlled via the serial port and the player utilizes the serial cord to operate the game console. A few other popular examples of video games that make use of serial ports to communicate with game consoles include card games and word games. In addition, some video games utilize infrared technology to connect players to a digital display screen within the video game system.

The saints of Northumbria lived during the 7th—10th centuries in what is today northern England, the Scottish Borders and the Lothian. During the reign of king Oswald of Northumbria, an Irish monk Aidan was invited to reconvert the area to Christianity. He and other Irish monks achieved this and subsequently the Northumbrians helped to reconvert much of the rest of England and also parts of the European Continent. This list includes all of the saints strongly associated with Northumbria.
Eadfrith of Lindisfarne Northumbria died 721 Bishop of Lindisfarne, said to have been artist of the Lindisfarne Gospels.
Ælfwald I of Northumbria Northumbria died 788 King of Northumbria. Considered a saint at Hexham Abbey after murder.
Æbbe of Coldingham Northumbria died 870 Founder of Coldingham, origin of cutting off the nose to spite the face.

We all took a group photo yesterday afternoon, after a long week. There was a camera crew idling in the office who were kind enough to oblige us.
That's Delisile's son in front holding up an XO and smiling… as charming as he is gorgeous. Even Tom Brady was shy in his presence.
Everyone has been getting a bit jumpy with the gray weather and long days, but this was fun. Henry is showing off the New York Times front page. If you look closely, you can see that after Amy, our controller, came into the office this morning the market rallied a few hundred points.
More updates coming soon: with news about G1G1 around the world, launch parties this Sunday, and new videos, photos, and essays. Send specific questions and requests our way!
Now why are the hackers only on the whiteboard? And could you add a who-is-who to match faces with names?
I'm missing from this picture because I was frantically running the community testing meeting on IRC, about 30 feet to the right of everybody gathered at the whiteboard.
Hmm… but what is Dogi doing?


SPEAK NO EVIL is a collective of three bands that hosted their own gig nights on London's live music scene.
Following on the success of the 'Night of the Three Headed Beast' the three main bands involved decided to put on a follow up gig. This time the venue was The Macbeth in London's insufferably hip area of Hoxton.
The number 3 seems to keep popping up when it comes to SPEAK NO EVIL and it made perfect sense to reference that with the third event that they were to host.
Picking a driving theme as the starting point this was very much my road movie inspired image. It also seemed like a very handy way to include a few visual motifs representing the main bands involved as the 'charms' that some drivers hang from their rear view mirror.
So how do you advertise a gig with three separate bands taking headline billing? Well the obvious answer is create a Horror Movie inspired poster image picturing the bands in question as a three headed beast. Building upon the previous art and design work I have done for both JB NEWMAN & THE BLACK LETTER BAND and GEORGES KAPLAN PRESENTS... the above image is exactly that.

Q: Mathematical error concerning arrays and classes I have the code working for the most part (aside from the math issues), I just don't know where my math is going wrong.  It gives me the correct values for the first set of data but the second set is way off.
Here is my header file
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

class TestGrader

{
private:
    char correct_ans[20];
    int correct = 0;
public:
    void setCorrect_answers(char cans[]);
    void grade(char ans[]);
};

Here is my .cpp file
#include "TestGrader.h"

using namespace std;

        cout << ans[i] << "\t\t\t" << correct_ans[i] << "\t\t\t";
        if (ans[i] == correct_ans[i])
        {
            correct++;
        }
        else
            cout << "X";
    }
    cout << "\n";
    if (correct > 15)

    return 0;
}

A: You need to reset correct to 0 at the beginning of the grade() method.

Every educator faces adverse conditions within their professions. These challenges can cripple a teacher, which is why most teachers that leave the field do so in the first couple of years of their career. Programs across the country have been put into place to combat these issues in education, but ultimately the responsibility lies on the individual teacher. They must ultimately decide in which direction they want to go while dealing with their challenges that affect them day in and day out in the classroom.
Assessments have always been an issue with my own instruction. I never was taught a truly efficient way to assess students. I have been in many seminars and workshops that use the popular words of summative and formative, peer and self reflections, and many other terms to get the attention of paying administrators. Through all of this no one has truly affected the way that I deal with assessments. Most of what they teach is for the perfect student, and as we often see, those are far and few between.
Looking at a couple of articles has expanded my thought on assessments, and I would like to focus on one in particular. Thomas Guskey explains how corrective teaching, along with reassessments can ultimately lend themselves to a greater chance for success (Guskey, 2003). The first assessment can be as basic as a test, but corrective teaching is the key to the lesson. By taking the information and the feedback from the assessments and relaying the weaknesses to the students a teacher can then focus on what is truly the issue at hand, whether it is comprehension, articulation, or a general lack of understanding by the student.
The one issue of a reassessment is the replication of an old assessment. I have seen teachers use reassessment as a tool but they do not modify the second assessment. This does nothing for the student and skews the feedback to the teacher. If we are truly trying to discern application of knowledge, it must be in multiple situations. After the corrective teaching, the second assessment must go one step, even if it a baby step, farther that the first assessment. It cannot just be a regurgitation of the first assessment.
Allowing the students to show improvement in a specific subject can also lend themselves to more confidence with the next level of material they are exposed to. As most concepts are pyramid steps of the previous content, students must have the lower levels of knowledge to refer to in order to fully comprehend the new material. The previous content must have reached an application level of cognition in order to easily move forward.
All in all I discovered that is was not the assessments that I had trouble with, but rather the use of that assessment. Corrective teaching and reassessments will definitely help myself to build a more concrete foundation for my students and will help them build upon the critical thinking skills that we are ultimately trying to teach them. I feel that this process, implemented over the course of an entire unit, will aid the student in a fully comprehensive base of knowledge that they can apply to all of the following units of study.

In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: We humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we don't.
Dr. Peto's argument was beguilingly simple. Every time a cell divides, there's a small chance it will gain a mutation that speeds its growth. Cells that accumulate several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice — and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.
Yet humans and mice have roughly the same lifetime risk of cancer, a circumstance that has come to be known as Peto's paradox.
To understand the elephants' defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is crucial for preventing cancer, called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. In some cases, it prompts the cells to repair the genes. In other cases, p53 stops cells from dividing further. And in still other cases, it even causes the cells to commit suicide.

Gaslands is a tabletop game of post-apocalyptic car combat published by Osprey Publishing in November 2017. It is designed to be played with toy cars, such as Matchbox and Hot Wheels die-cast vehicles. Players ram, skid and race their way through the wreckage of a burnt-out Earth. The game was designed by Mike Hutchinson.

The setting for the game is an alternate history where Mars was colonized in the 1980s. Tensions between Earth and Mars grew into all-out war, with Mars eventually emerging as the victor. In the setting of the game, "Gaslands" is a reality-TV show featuring car combat between desperate people seeking out an existence on the devastated Earth.

A second edition of the game, Gaslands Refuelled, was announced released in October 2019.

Awards
Gaslands won both the Judges Award and the People's Choice Award for Best Miniatures Rules at the 2018 UK Game Expo.

Next message: [swift-corelibs-dev] IndexSet isStrictSubsetOf bug?
Thanks! We have a few more sessions coming up that are pretty neat too.
> About the changes to swift-corelibs-xctest: you mean simply using the new Foundation APIs, correct? I don't imagine we'll be changing the XCTest API very much -- that is, we won't be renaming `XCTestCase` to `TestCase`, right?
Yup, exactly. Some of the name changes have landed in swift-corelibs-foundation already, and there have been corresponding PRs to fix our clients. This will be more of the same types of fixes.
> We discussed this [in Feburary](https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-corelibs-dev/Week-of-Mon-20160222/000446.html), and I believe the conclusion was that we wouldn't be applying the same kinds of grand renaming to XCTest -- would just like to confirm that point.
>> We plan to post later today a branch (name forthcoming) to the swift-corelibs-foundation repository that contains the first version of all of these changes. We've also been merging all of the other changes from master branch.
>> It's not quite ready to merge back to master yet, so we would appreciate your help! Check out the branch, look for errors or omissions, and submit some PRs or send mail to this list.
>> Our hope is to merge this branch very quickly, in the span of a week or two at most. We will likely need to get some parallel PRs up for XCTest and swiftpm to help them adapt to the new name and type changes.


As a full time river guide for salmon and steelhead on the Rogue river there is no better line. Nothing compares to TUF-LINE's preformance, lures run better and deeper with a lot less weight. The feel is amazingly sensitive so even amateurs can feel fish and set the hook. And no other line lasts as long, I get 2 seasons out of my line. This spring Salmon was around 2 rocks and went through class two rapids and still ended up in our net.

John Deere Careers
Many changes have come and gone over the years but one thing remains constant, Western Sales' commitment to customer satisfaction, before and after the sale is made.
Glen Thrasher built a small shop at 122 - 2nd Ave. W. in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, and was awarded a John Deere farm machinery contract in 1947. The company was called Western Sales and Fred Friend was hired as a manager in 1954. By 1964 the dealership needed more room. Glen already owned the former Co-op building and arranged to move it from 123 Railway Ave. to the present site on highway #7 west. Glen died in 1965 and Fred Friend bought Western Sales in 1966.
In November 1972, Fred's son Doug took over the general manager position at Western Sales. Joined by his brother's Art and Dennis and cousin Vance Booth, Doug led Western Sales and John Deere into a market leadership position in west-central Saskatchewan. In 1975 Doug and Art purchased the shares of Booth and Dennis.
In 1976, Western Sales acquired Smith Service Ltd in Elrose from Howard and Ron Smith, becoming one of the first multiple location organizations in Canada.
In 1981, Western Sales (1979) Ltd. completed an expansion of its facilities. The expansion gave Western Sales a total of 28,000 sq. ft. under one roof, an increase of more than 14,000 sq. ft. over the building's original size. The additional floor space allowed one of the most efficient shops of its kind in West Central Saskatchewan.
1981 also marked the year that Western Sales became of the computer age. Doug Friend recognized the need to adapt to the use of a professional business system and purchased its first IBM computer. Western Sales was one of the very first ag dealerships to use a business system in Canada and today still has a very strong relationship with the business system provider, PFW.
In 1980, Western Sales had the distinction as the largest ag equipment sales for John Deere in Canada and carried that leadership position for three consecutive years. Since that time Western sales has remained one of John Deere's largest agricultural equipment dealerships in Canada.
Fred Friend retired in 1979 and his sons took over until 1986 when Grant Henderson, Grant McGrath, and Doug Slimmon purchased the shares of Art Friend, joining Doug Friend in ownership and management of operations. In 1987, Grant Henderson became General Manager and Grant McGrath assumed to role of Sales Manager.
The new group expanded Western Sales (1986) Ltd. to Biggar in 1988 in and Outlook in 1991 making Western Sales a four-branch operation and at the time the largest geographical area in Canada. 2007 saw another expansion of Western Sales in the acquisition of Davidson Equip Ltd with branches in Davidson and Central Butte.
In 2000, Grant McGrath assumed the role of President and General Manager of Western Sales and later that year appointed Jason Hintze Sales Manager.
In the fall of 2003, the dealership began the most comprehensive renovation and construction phase in its 57-year history. Beginning with the teardown of the original building, which held the parts department, the Rosetown facility began its 'metamorphosis' you might say.
A new 4500 sq. ft parts warehouse replaced the old, and the 4500 sq. ft. front showroom and offices were completely renovated. Holding to the Western Sales vision of tomorrow, and a first for a Deere dealership an 8400 sq. ft. indoor showroom was added to display new John Deere equipment. Above the showroom a 1750 sq. ft conference room was added to accommodate customer and staff training and product presentations. Equipped with the most state-of-the-art video and audio equipment, this two-level conference room will be the host of many future meetings and training sessions.
Also in 2004, the addition of a 25,000 square foot cold storage facility was built to support Western Sales' Certified Maintenance Inspect program. Housing up to 42 customer combines, the facility was built to provide customers indoor storage for their combines in the winter while they await having the Western Sales winter preventative inspection (CMI) performed on their machines.
With the addition of the combine shop and a stand-alone wash facility, the Rosetown branch boasts 75,000 square feet under one roof.
The CMI program was met with such popularity by customers that an additional 12,000 square foot combine shop was added in Rosetown in 2009. 2010 will see 5,000 square foot combine shops and 12,000 square foot cold storage facilities added in Outlook and Davidson.
In September 2010, President Grant McGrath announced another important event for Western Sales. To ensure the continued strong leadership for another generation it was announced that Jason Hintze and Carl Persson became partners. As organizations become stronger and grow it is vital that leadership be in place to carry out the vision of Western Sales long into the future. Jason Hintze as Sales Manager and Carl Persson as the Aftermarket Manager play key roles in the success and stability of Western Sales.
In 2010, Western Sales also added the FieldSmart Agronomic Department led by Don Campbell. This in-house agronomic solutions department offers unbiased, data-driven advice on input and cropping needs while supporting producers who purchase equipment from Western Sales and provides them with advice on their prescriptions to ensure they will work for their equipment. FieldSmart has six agronomists at our locations and their dedication to offering unbiased advice and experience with a wide range of equipment is top-of-their-field when it comes to the land, crops, and equipment. They rely on not just accurate data, but a "boots on the ground" approach to getting all of the angles to support our customers.
Three of our locations have since had brand-new dealership buildings constructed. The first was Davidson in April 2015, then Outlook in February 2017, and Central Butte opened its doors in November 2017. The new, massive buildings house state-of-the-art service bays and cranes, wash bay areas, and parts departments to better serve our loyal customers.
Relationship with Deere and Co
Western Sales had the privilege of being associated with one of the true icons in agricultural manufacturers in the world. John Deere has long been recognized as building the finest farm equipment in the world. One of the practices that has made Deere what it is today is the relationship they have had with their dealers.
In June of 2004, Western Sales was host to a very special visit by Mr. Doug DeVries, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Agricultural Sales of Deere and Mr. Dick Yanke, Senior Vice President of Parts Marketing both of Deere and Company, Moline, Illinois. Both of the senior officers of Deere were quite impressed with the facility and the vision of Western Sales.
Since that time, Mr. DeVries and other Deere executives came back to Rosetown in 2009 and again in 2010. The 2010 visit was special in that Mr. David C. Everitt, the President of Agriculture and Turf Equipment. Mr. Everitt and other Deere executives spent two days in Rosetown in July of 2010 to get another look at some of the industry leading services that Western Sales offers their customers.
Relationship with Community
The dealership has always played a large role in the communities they serve. Whether it be loaning tractors to pull floats in parades, providing equipment for sports days or Western Sales staff volunteering for the many community project, the dealership always took its role in the communities seriously. In 1994 Western Sales saw there was a need for a bus in the community for minor hockey. So, Western Sales bought a 47 passenger bus and currently operated the bus until 2006.
Western Sales is grateful for the support it receives from all of the servicing areas and makes it a priority to support projects, recreation and culture events in each of the communities as a matter of civic and cultural duty.
Relationship with Customers
Since 1947, Western Sales has developed a culture of 'Customer Service'.
The success of Western Sales is not determined by sale volume. The success of Western Sales is gauged by the minimum amount of down-time with their John Deere equipment that our valued customers experience in the critical seasons of planting and harvest.
During these critical times of the year, Western Sales is open seven days a week and staffed with trained parts and service technicians who work together as a team to keep our customers in the field.
With six stores located throughout West Central Saskatchewan, our highly trained and motivated staff offers and supports the finest quality farm equipment and technology that meets the ever changing needs of our agricultural customers.

The partner institutions of the Sustainable Aggregates Planning in South East Europe project (SNAP-SEE) recognized that some countries in the region do not practice sustainable aggregates management and do not ensure a sustainable supply of aggregates to their economies.
This can hinder resource efficiency and economic development, and potentially lead to greater negative environmental and social impacts. More consistent, integrated, resource efficient aggregates planning at the national/regional scales, increased knowledge capacity of authorities, civil society, industry and experts and the creation of long-lasting transnational, national and regional networks on aggregates were a direct response to tackle these challenges.
The goal of the Conference: to share the results of SNAP-SEE and place those results in the context of the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials' call for an improved minerals policy framework.
offer a more transparent and participative exchange of ideas with involved stakeholders.
