Living next to the water has always had its attractions and wherever there is a stretch of water there will almost always be a group of people who want to live at its edge. There is another group of people who have made the decision that living on the water is even more attractive. They are a diverse bunch, those who choose to live afloat; they have given up traditional bricks and mortar for the freedom of life on the water.
There are many attractions to living afloat. Some people just love the water and the feeling of being closer to nature but for many it is a lifestyle choice. It is completely different from living in a conventional house or apartment. Being close to nature with ducks or swans outside the bedroom window gives a different slant on life.
Living afloat is not without its problems. Boats tend to need more maintenance and they tend to not appreciate in value the way that houses used to. Sometimes moorings are difficult to find, but here at Port Werburgh there is a space that could be just right for you and your boat.
Anyone thinking about living afloat should do three things. Read the book "A Home Afloat" by Gary Cookson, come and talk to the Crew at Port Werburgh and then start your life afloat at Port Werburgh.

Before I decided to payoff all my debts I bought a car brand new and now I owe $24,000 on it but the most I can get for it is 12,000. What should I do. The expert then says to take out a loan for the difference and sell the car.
Some hosts will add that you should take out an even bigger loan to buy some beater to drive instead. A recent one suggested that you should take out a $15k loan so that you can buy a $1000-$2000 car. So the caller will then have a $1000 beater with a $15k loan vs their nice car with a loan for 23k. Unless the caller will lose their house if they don't sell, I would keep it and continue looking for other ways to earn income.
First of all, have you looked at what $1000 buys you today? If you're lucky it's a death trap which needs $1500 worth of repairs to make it safe let alone reliable. Now if you were paying cash for this car then maybe I would agree but you won't be paying cash in this example. You'll be paying off a $15,000 signature loan. Notice that I said a signature loan not a car loan. What's the difference? Collateral and because of that, interest rate. At my local credit union a signature loan of that size is 12% interest. Back when I had a car loan I was paying 3% interest. So not only am I giving up my nice safe reliable car but I'm quadrupling the interest? How is this helping me? Some signature loans are only for 24 or 36 months. $15000 @ 12% interest for 36 months is nearly $500/mo. I'd be willing to bet that their "new" car is cheaper.
Look, this doesn't apply to every situation. If you have a $40k truck and can get $36k out of it then by all means get the loan and sell the truck today. My argument also doesn't give you the right to be stupid and buy a new car when you don't need and/or cannot afford one. My point is simply that you must use your calculator and do what makes sense. If you can continue paying on your vehicle and then drive it for a few more years with no car payments, you will end up further ahead than this so called expert advice.

The Tyranny of "What if...?"
A number of years ago I had a client who came to me in a really bad stressed out condition. He came for one session, and then the next thing I knew I was told he had had a nervous breakdown. When I visited him in the hospital, I was quite surprised to see that his face had a certain radiance to it. I asked how he was doing, half expecting to hear a litany of bad news. Instead, the man smiled and said the following. "I feel very lucky right now. Very blessed. I have let go of nearly everything I was trying to hold onto and I finally became aware of the mantra that I had been repeating to myself over and over again."
"What happened to me was so surreal," he said. "I was sitting in an unemployment office and I was feeling more and more agitated. Then all of a sudden I passed out. Or at least they told me I passed out because I don't remember that part. What I do remember is waking up in this bed, and for the first time in my life, there was this deafening quiet inside my head, and a great calmness in my body that touched my soul. For the first time in my life, for at least a few minutes time I had no internal dialogue. This was a very amazing experience."
"You see," he said, "When I first came to see you I was afraid of losing my job, my wife, and my house. I was relentlessly repeating various 'What if' mantras. 'What if I lose my job?' 'What if I lose my wife?' As it turned out I did lose my job. And upon getting fired, because my finances were already totally frazzled, I soon had to hand over ownership of my house to the bank. And upon learning about the foreclosure on our house my wife immediately left me. And now I feel like a bright and energetic fourteen year old starting all over again! I have new dreams, new ways of thinking, a whole new life ahead of me now, and perhaps most importantly I have a new mantra."
"My only sadness is that I wish I would have had my nervous breakdown much earlier in life, so I could have much sooner gotten into living from a place of enthusiasm rather than a place of fear. I just didn't realize how fantastic a nervous breakdown could be! I have lost everything, but in the process I have gained a completely new way of being in the world. It is such a joy to know that I no longer need to live in fear."
In the process of finally being released from the tyranny of "What if" this man attained great wisdom and peace of mind. After chatting a bit longer I finally got ready to leave. My ex-client said "One more thing if you don't mind me suggesting it. When a client comes to you stressed out and fearful, tell him to take a moment, and take a deep breath. Then suggest that the best thing he can do is to have his nervous breakdown right then and there. Invite him to have his breakdown on the spot, so that he can get back into living a full life again, free from stress and fear! Believe me, the sooner you can completely let go, the better. In math, ten minus ten equals zero. In life, if you take everything that you have and minus all of it, you wind up with much more than you ever dreamed of!"

Since the fund's establishment in March, over 14,000 clients have been served, with many more still needing help.
Show co-creator Peter Rotter says: "When the pandemic tragically hit our world and began to shut down our film music community, I felt that something needed to be done to help those who were in need of support and care. Through MusiCares® we have found the charitable vehicle that can come alongside our hurting musical family.
"Music has always played a role in history; reflecting both the subtle and monumental moments of our lives through its unique DNA. Music connects each of us, acting as a common thread of unification, opening the hearts of all people. Regardless of the color of one's skin, status or station in life, music powerfully breaks through boundaries as its message permeates deep within us; healing our human frailties and condition at our cores. Music is transformative and personal. It powerfully underscores our lives."
"Music has always helped transport, uplift and inspire us through wars, economic hardships, health crises and societal upheavals," says show co-creator, Richard Kraft. "When COVID-19 hit, it threatened the lives and livelihood of much of our Film & TV Music community. So, we decided to create an online special that both celebrates the soundtrack of our lives and benefits, via MusiCares®, the artists who create it."
Starting June 25th at noon pacific, watch the video on YouTube via Rolling Stone, Variety & GRAMMY's channels, as well as on www.soundtracklives.com. Follow on https://facebook.com/soundtrackofourlives2020/

P September 27, 2019 , by	Beverley Simmmons
With the U.S. coasts now subject to frequent landfalling hurricanes, this may seem like the new normal. Over the last 250 years, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these killer storm systems wreaked havoc on cities and towns across America.
According to the National Hurricane Center's Historical Data Library, more than 39,000 U.S. people were killed and over $67 billion in the insured property was destroyed in 124 U.S. hurricanes from 1900 to 2017. This includes Superstorm Sandy in 2012, which caused a third of this total figure.
Heavily Damaged Warehouse After A Major Storm
Surviving a devastating hurricane requires planning and preparation, with a series of events from ignition to recovery that must be managed. Although we have multiple ways of assessing and reporting these types of events, the ability to conduct this analysis has been limited.
The earliest known data on the frequency of a hurricane striking a particular American city comes from the New Madrid Severe Pile-Up of 1893. The Irish Met Office's records of frequent tornadoes in the American Midwest weren't as accurate for six decades, as the infrastructure there was still insufficient to detect and convey information to government entities. At the end of the 20th century, the first detailed hurricane database for the United States began to accumulate.
A Storm on the Same Scale as Superstorm Sandy.
Between 1900 and 1893, 15 hurricanes struck the American coastal states of Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont, while 13 hit the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico coasts and korean cleansers. Seven hurricanes struck in 1916 and seven struck again in 1916. After the storms in 1916, so many homes were toppled in New York City that the death toll alone amounted to 30,000 and almost as many in Philadelphia.
Rain And Snow Dumping Amidst A Severe Storm
In the 1940s, researchers were able to identify the Category 1 and 2 storms that were produced by "wedge-shaped" cyclones. Category 1 hurricanes had winds of at least 111 mph, while Category 2 hurricanes had winds of 115 mph or higher. By 1950, computers were able to quickly calculate how many fatalities and damages were caused by each hurricane.
However, the power of these storms had obscured the fact that they were less destructive and far less frequent than what scientists were now learning of. To gain more insight into the effectiveness of the old hurricane index, researchers were able to extract the probability of a hurricane hitting an area from a computer simulation. The study defined a Category 1 hurricane as a storm with winds of at least 90 mph, while a Category 2 hurricane had winds of at least 110 mph. These estimates are conservative and do not take into account the damage caused by high winds.
The research found that in the United States, before World War II, it was highly unusual for a Category 1 hurricane to strike. It continued for 10 years after the war. However, there was also significant variability in the frequency of Category 1 and 2 hurricanes, even after World War II. Researchers believe that both fluctuations and luck may have helped to account for this variability.
Many areas remain unrestored after major Hurricanes damage them
Storms from 1915 to 1966 yielded seasonal information that was not very useful because the storms occurred on very different timescales. In fact, the storm activity from 1916 to 1966 was so similar in several parts of the United States, where the storm wasn't strong enough to produce large property damage and death, that researchers couldn't say if there was any correlation.
Hurricane Frequency Change By Level Of Strength (L to S) in the American Coastal States, 1900-2018.
A quick look at the southern U.S. coast reveals more patterns of variability in the frequency of Category 1 and 2 hurricanes. The hardest-hit part of Florida, the Florida Keys, had an average chance of being struck by a Category 1 hurricane every 4 years. From 1961 to 1965, the number of Category 1 hurricanes that struck Florida nearly doubled in the three-year period. But from 1969 to 1975, that number dropped significantly. Meanwhile, the home state of hurricane relief, Mississippi, has had an average of one Category 1 hurricane every five years.
These charts of the life cycle of tropical storms and hurricanes provide a unique comparison to other types of extreme weather. Loss of life, costs of damage, and physical damage are just a few examples of the impacts that hurricanes can have, even if it is 10, 20, or 30 years later that these impacts are finally assessed. In response to this trend, the U.S. Geological Survey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the American Meteorological Society began working on a new systematic database to gather and evaluate current hurricane data.

Home Technology What is real-time location sharing on Google Maps?
Good news! For the travelers, the Google Maps, have recently unveiled its new feature for its users. Now, the users can share their real-time location with anyone. A web mapping service offered by the Google inc. provides the user with the satellite imagery, street maps, 360 deg. Panoramic views of streets.
Google Maps also offers real-time traffic conditions, Google Traffic, and route planning for the traveling foot, car, bicycle, or in public transport.

Now, the users will be able to share their real-time location with anyone, and, also, the people they share with will be able to see the location on Android, iPhone, mobile web, and desktop.
The Google Maps use their own satellite to provide the web mapping services to its user. The satellites' view is a "top-down" or "birds eye" view, providing a better view of the maps to its users.
The Google Maps is currently available both for the desktop and the smartphones.
In August 2013, it was determined to be the worlds' most popular app for the smartphones, with over 54% of global smartphone owners using it at least once. With the new feature, the popularity of the Google map will definitely rise and with location sharing, you'll be able to quickly let your friends and family know, where you are.
These features come in handy for the travelers, who are alone for most of the time. They can share their location with the family and friends. Also, the following feature will be very much helpful for the security services. The squad team who have to go to the toughest places to catch the criminals, it sometimes becomes very difficult to trace the location of the team member. With this feature, they can share their locations easily and can complete their task with an ease.
To use this feature, all you need to do is just go to the Google maps.

Q: "find it hard to trust" vs. "have a hard time trusting

*

*You're not afraid that your employees will find it hard to trust you?

*You're not afraid that your employees will have a hard time trusting you?

I'm curious whether both sentences are perfectly natural and mean the same thing.

A: Have a hard time means to experience difficulty doing something. In the example, the employees will experience difficulty trusting you.
Finding something hard means the exact same thing, using the 10th meaning of hard (difficult). In the example, the employees will find that it is difficult to trust you.
So I'm both finding it hard to see and having a hard time seeing a difference between the two phrases :-)

Q: TSQL Casting int when field is NULL I have a simple query that is generating a report based on some data. If the field value is null, I need to enter the value of N/A on the report.
To do this, I do: ISNULL(proj.projectID, 'N/A) as projectID
This returns the error of: Error: conversion faield when converting the varchar value 'N/A' to data type int.
I tried to do this instead and got the same error:
CAST(ISNULL(proj.projectID, 'N/A) as varchar) as projectID
How can I achieve this?

A: you have to convert before you test isnull:

First-time visitors are often struck by the European flavor of New Orleans, and little wonder. It's everywhere! Visitors see it in our architecture, taste it in our food, hear it in the music that abounds, and experience it in the hospitality and characteristic accent of our locals.
Louisiana was claimed for French king Louis XIV in 1699 and is the only state that was once a French royal colony. "La Nouvelle Orleans" was founded in 1718 and ruled by France and then Spain for nearly 100 years. It is the only U.S. city where French was the predominant language for more than one century.
New Orleans is the American city occupied longest by enemy troops (the Union Army 1862-65) during the Civil War.
This city depended for 185 years on a canal system (108 miles) much more extensive than that of Venice, Italy. By 1914, Baldwin Wood's mammoth pumping and drainage system made canals obsolete.
In a unique partitioning in 1835, the City of New Orleans was literally split into three separate municipalities, each with its own mayor and council. After 17 years, the city was reunited, becoming the third largest and second richest in the nation.
New Orleans is often called the "Crescent City" because it was founded on the bend of the Mississippi River. This unusual shape causes locals and visitors to become confused occasionally, as there is no traditional "north, south, east, or west" mode of getting around. Some streets in the city begin at one end parallel, and end up perpendicular.
New Orleans has approximately 40,000 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, more than most other cities in the U.S. including Washington D.C. Many of these architectural treasures are located in the 120 blocks of the French Quarter.
St. Louis Cathedral, located in the historic French Quarter, is the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States. It was originally built in 1724 and rebuilt twice after a hurricane and a fire. The present church overlooks beautiful Jackson Square and was dedicated in 1794.
The Old Ursuline Convent, also located in the historic French Quarter, dates to 1745, and is the oldest building in the Mississippi River Valley.
As Americans settled in New Orleans, they built exquisite antebellum mansions in the Garden District and Uptown. These architectural gems fill our residential areas. Locals who recognize their architectural significance have restored many of these homes in grand fashion.
Many of the tens of thousands of live oak trees that line our streets and boulevards date back to before the Civil War. They have survived hurricanes, droughts, insects and fires.
The New Orleans Streetcar line is the oldest continuously operating rail system in the world. It currently transports locals and tourists from uptown to the business district along St. Charles Avenue and along Canal Street and Carollton Ave. to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art.
New Orleans is known as the birthplace of jazz, and rightfully so. Early jazz greats like Louis Armstrong, Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver got their starts in the nightclubs of Storyville, a red-light district that flourished between 1897 and 1917. The city's musical tradition remains strong with the Neville Brothers, the Marsalis family, Harry Connick, Jr., and many others. Events such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the French Quarter Festival, Satchmo Summer Fest and others share these gifts with the world.
The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra is the only full-time, player-managed symphony in the United States. Musicians from all over the world come to New Orleans to study the LPO's success.
New Orleans has a well-deserved reputation for food. There are more than 3000 restaurants in the city, many of which have been owned and operated by the same families for generations. The predominant foods are Creole and Cajun, but there are many ethnic restaurants that feature foods from throughout the world. The city consistently is rated one of the top cities for food by national and international publications.
The current population of the city is around 200,000 after Katrina.

Wallace, Richetta G. Randolph
Richetta Randolph Wallace papers
The collection consists of the personal and business papers of Richetta Randolph Wallace (1884-circa 1971), an African-American woman having a longstanding engagement with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Harlem (New York City), African-American literary and arts culture, and matters of race relations, racial justice and civil rights. Documents include correspondence, pamphlets and other published print matter, event programs and other ephemera, photographs, receipts, manuscripts, and newspaper clippings. Commonly known by her maiden name, Randolph was office manager for the NAACP until the mid-1940s and personal secretary to Mary White Ovington and James Weldon Johnson. The collection includes correspondence with Ovington and Johnson as well as other NAACP principals. including Walter White, William Pickens, and others. The collection includes a full typescript draft of Johnson's Black Manhattan, with notes, and a galley proof (1930) of the book. Much of the collection consists of print matter, which centers on matters of race in the United States, including discrimination, lynching, justice (or injustice), and civil rights. Other print matter includes programs, sermons, church newsletters, and other materials, principally concerning Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Correspondence documents Randolph's activities on behalf of Mt. Olivet over the years. There are a small number of photographs in the collection, including those of Randolph, of Johnson and his wife in Great Barrington (1929), of Ovington, and stock images of NAACP principals, among others.
3 Linear Feet in five manuscript boxes, one flat box, and one oversize folder
The collection includes fragile documents, including clippings and carbon copies of typed correspondence. The collection includes an oversize photograph (30" x 9") that is still framed and backed with highly acidic material.
Richetta G. Randolph (1884-circa 1971) was born May 12, 1884, in Chesterfield County, Virginia, but attended schools in Plainview, New Jersey. While in her early twenties, she launched a career in office administration after attending Gaffey's Business School in New York City. Her family origins and early life remain obscure, for although correspondence between her and A. Phillip Randolph (1889-1979) presume a relationship as siblings, their biographies differ as to place of origin and early education. In 1914, she married Frank E. Wallace. Mr. Wallace appears in some personal notes and ephemera in the collection, notably in a set of what are likely suicide notes, written in 1921. Richetta did not remarry, and her use of a last name subsequent to 1921 varies between Randolph and Wallace. Because her use of Randolph seems more frequent, that is the name used in this finding aid. In 1933, Randolph moved to 251 Decatur Street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York, where she lived up to the 1970s.
In 1905, Randolph became private secretary to reformer and social worker Mary White Ovington (1865-1951). Seven years later, Randolph was hired as the first member of the administrative staff for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). She later became the NAACP's office manager and was private secretary to NAACP officers James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and Walter White (1893-1955). She also served as Clerk of the Conference for NAACP annual conferences. In 1945, Randolph became the Clerk of the Board and Confidential Secretary to the Executive Secretary. She held the latter position for one year until her full retirement from the NAACP in 1946, at which time she continued to work for her church, the historically black Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Harlem. She became the Secretary to Dr. O. Clay Maxwell of Mt. Olivet, a position she held for over a decade. Her involvement with Mt. Olivet was multifaceted, for in addition to her secretarial duties, at different points in her life she served on the Board of Trustees, helped to raise funds, represented the church at out-of-town meetings, and wrote a play depicting its history.
Randolph kept a scrapbook with material from her anniversary celebration (in 1943) commemorating 30 years of service to the NAACP. On this occasion, people who had worked with her or met her at the NAACP sent her cards and monetary gifts. She was knowledgeable of and had close relationships with several members of the NAACP leadership. Chief among them was Mary White Ovington with whom a strong relationship grew after years of working with her independently and then through the NAACP; this relationship continued to Ovington's death in 1951.
The collection consists of the personal and business papers of Richetta Randolph Wallace, an African-American woman having a longstanding engagement with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Harlem, African-American literary and arts culture, and matters of race relations, racial justice and civil rights. Documents include correspondence, pamphlets and other published print matter, event programs and other ephemera, photographs, receipts, manuscripts, and newspaper clippings.
Principal correspondents in the collection are James Weldon Johnson and Mary White Ovington. Other correspondents include Arthur Spingarn, Walter White, Roy Wilkins, William Pickens, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the NAACP, A. Phillip Randolph, and authors Charles Flint Kellogg and Robert L. Zangrando. The bulk of this correspondence concerns Randolph's activities and perspectives as office manager and personal secretary. Her correspondence with Johnson dates from the mid-1920s and the bulk of her other NAACP-related correspondence dates from the 1930s-1940s. Other correspondence documents Randolph's activities on behalf of Mt. Olivet over the years. There is a small amount of personal correspondence, including what are likely suicide notes from Wallace's husband, Frank.
The collection includes a full typescript draft of Johnson's Black Manhattan, with notes, and a galley proof (1930) of the book. Much of the collection consists of print matter, which centers on matters of race in the United States, including discrimination, lynching, justice (or injustice), and civil rights. Other print matter includes programs, sermons, church newsletters, and other materials, principally concerning Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. Most of these materials are identified at the item level in the container list in this guide. There are a small number of photographs in the collection, including those of Randolph, of Johnson and his wife in Great Barrington (1929), of Ovington, and stock images of NAACP principals. There is an oversize group photograph from the NAACP convention in Kansas City (1923).

Separated Materials
The original collection included an extensive, though incomplete, number of The Crisis, ranging from 1911 to 1971, with breaks. These are no longer with the collection.
The collection was donated to the Long Island Historical Society (now Brooklyn Historical Society) in 1975 by the estate of Richetta G. Randolph Wallace, through the courtesy of Dorothy Vaughan and Ruth Jowers.
The material was in no particular order when received by the Long Island Historical Society (now Brooklyn Historical Society) in 1975. An initial inventory and boxing of the collection was done in 1977 by Barbara Germack. That inventory was refined by Judith Box in 1986. In September-October 1997, the collection was rearranged and described by Tanya Elder, Project Assistant Archivist. As part of that processing, photographs were separated from the collection. In May 2006, Judith A. Burgess conducted a thorough survey of the collection, which resulted in expanded description and finding aid, with additional preservation work for fragile documents. In October 2011, Project Archivist Larry Weimer modified the finding aid to accommodate requirements for input to a collection management system, Archivists' Toolkit. During this processing, the previously separated photographs were returned to the collection. In April 2015, Archivist John Zarrillo encapsulated the article "Lynching: America's national disgrace" (1924) for preservation purposes and placed the document in an oversize container.

Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the queen of the classics and she lives up to her name. Like true royalty she is the most beautiful race penciled on the race calendar and also the one that should be most respected, as many men have been humbled by her ferocity.
I quickly learned this as we rolled out of the historic downtown of Liege and during the neutral I hit a pothole, resulting in two wheel changes during the neutral roll out of the race. Luckily with a 6 km of neutral I was able to get everything sorted before the war began. Our plan was simple: Ryder [Hesjedal], Dan [Martin] and Tom Danielson were to relax until the final siege, while the rest took on the front lines of battle to try and get in the early break.
Most know Liege for its famous climbs - Le Cote de Wanne, La Rossiere, La Redoute, etc - which all come in the last 100 km of the race, but what you don't see are all the cols and cotes that come in the first 160 km and start tiring the legs early, like the 8 km climb that starts at km 0.
From the gun it was on, riders attacking left and right, the peloton strung out in the first kilometers, later I would hear that some riders were early casualties, with riders coming off in the very first slopes of the very first climb. For the next two hours it was all guns blazing in a hectic showdown and when the dust settled a group of 4 riders had escaped; I gave it my all but sometimes you just need a bit of luck as well.
With my early wheel change I lost my Powertap wheel so I have no power stats, but after 2.5 hours of racing I had an average heart rate of nearly 170 bpm. But conserving ammo wasn't exactly the plan for me. After the break went I was then to go on Dan duty; if Dan needs a goo I go back and get it, if Dan needs to stop for a nature break, I stop for a nature break and then when it was time I was to position well for when the crucial climbs started. Jason had the same duties for Ryder.
So closing in on Cote de Wanne I used my last bullets to give Dan some cover fire and off he went for the final part of the war, in search of glory for our squad. I managed to hang on for a few of the next climbs until the front part of the race split off. We had Ryder, Dan and Tom still up there and Ryder would eventually emerge at the days end with a heroic effort for 11th place. As for me, I put an end to my day at the second feed zone at kilometer 210 and hope to be ready again for our next battle, the Tour of Romandie, which starts tomorrow.

"Black and White in Color" (France/Ivory Coast, 1976, 7 p.m.). Jean-Jacques Annaud's witty, ironic allegory on the folly of war and nationalism, set in French Equatorial Africa in the early days of World War I and involving a comic opera assault on a German outpost across the veldt, which leads to all manner of role reversals and challenged conventions. This 1976 winner of the foreign-language film Oscar is part of the tribute to producer Arthur Cohn. Recommended.


In October, I was invited to present in London on the "The Overhead Athlete" as part of a 'Masterclass series in Osteopathic Sports Medicine' run by OSCA (the Osteopathic Sports Care Association).
My presentation focused on the physiotherapy treatment of overhead athletes in relation to throwing in cricketers, based on my experience and knowledge gained as Physio with the England Cricket team over ten years.
As a physiotherapist, injury prevention is key, and therefore its important to assess and treat the whole body, as any sporting movement is about using the entire body.

Best ED headline of the day
I have an odd sense of humor. I find this headline hysterical:
Sweden's Princess Victoria overcomes anorexia, marries fitness trainer
Talk about your childhood dreams, girls!
FemmePhil 11:25 AM, June 21, 2010
The headline made me giggle, too.
But...wow, that article reminds yo how far we still have to go. The most maddening quote (to me) is:
"Victoria was slightly plump during her youth, so the drastic weight loss was noticeable,"
What does that mean? Had she been "thinner" to start with, her illness wouldn't have been noticeable?
Kathleen MacDonald 12:03 PM, June 21, 2010
it is quite the dramatic headline, that's for sure...
My dear friend lives in Sweden and has been following this story for me. She says that the Princess is about health now and not thinness. And...she also says that the 'big' story is that she and her trainer are truly in love and that she and he had to 'fight' to get married since he is a 'common man'... 8 years later...they are married.
YEA for her for a) following her heart b) recovering and c) being public about her ED!
...silly headline, still.
Cathy (UK) 3:44 PM, June 21, 2010
Must be the way my brain works (i.e. slow on the uptake), but I don't get why the headline is funny?
It is nice to hear that she recovered and has been able to move on with her life. I do remember when news stories reported her AN and I felt really sorry for her. The LAST thing someone with AN needs is public attention and paparazzi...
Kathleen MacDonald (above):
You state: "She says that the Princess is about health now and not thinness."
I guess I'd like to emphasise that AN is often not about thinness, and sometimes people are triggered into AN by following what they feel are healthy eating and/or exercise programmes...
Unknown 6:30 PM, June 21, 2010
I found it funny for a lot of reasons, actually.
The idea of princesses cracks me up, for a start. The idea that your reward for anorexia is a fitness trainer has its ironies. Summing up people as Princess and Fitness Trainer is an odd pairing. I could go on.
There is also a sad aspect: that an illness often characterized by obsessions with physical fitness and appearance would be overcome with or despite a professional who peddles such a thing...
Anonymous 2:25 PM, June 23, 2010
what makes me sad is the part where she says the "only thing she could control was the food that went in her". Again, that old control theory. NOT. She was NOT in control, the e.d. was. I am so tired of people saying how it is about control.
i get the irony part of the headline though, funny.

" In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now. "
2022 has been a very, very important year for the entire video game industry. Between big arrivals and innovations capable of bringing many small revolutions to a constantly evolving market, there have been announcements capable of striking and exciting thousands of players all over the world. After so many years of waiting, the news that everyone was waiting for has finally arrived: Silent Hill is about to return, this time for real.
Moreover, we haven't been back to that city since March 2012, so many emotions he gave above all to longtime enthusiasts. If with P.T. we had hoped to be able to relive those unrepeatable sensations, the cancellation of the project seemed to have marked the definitive death of a legendary franchise, but which by then no longer had much to say... Until recently.
Among the many announcements of the last October, we also find what all the fans have been wanting for years and years: the remake of Silent Hill 2 , perhaps the most important title of the entire saga. What we want to do today is very simple, and starts from a step back to the middle of the nineties. From there we will analyze how and how much Silent Hill 2 has, in all respects, revolutionized horror storytelling.
Telling the horror, in a whole new way.
It was 1992 when the world knew the first chapter of Alone in the Dark , a saga unfortunately disappeared from the radar but which had the merit of starting that vein so extraordinarily rich in facets which is survival horror. In the opinion of many, the genre was born even ten years earlier with 3D Monster Maze, which in effect defined a scheme that will form the basis for this type of experience: the player finds himself having to rely solely and exclusively on himself to escape and survive the more disparate dangers.
Alone in the Dark took everything to an even higher level, managing to involve the player through… An ever more faithful reconstruction of true, pure terror. The possibility of carrying out actions that went beyond simple escape, being able to count on weapons and tricks of various kinds to save one's skin, represented the real keystone: in short, the survival horror genre had all the potential to equal the films that decades thrilled viewers around the world.
In 1996, then, a another twist. Capcom releases Resident Evil, and the video game world will never be the same again. We're talking about a franchise that, despite the ups and downs it has certainly gone through over the years, has managed to enter the collective imagination and leave an indelible mark on popular culture. And not just in the gaming industry.
Chris and Jill's adventure was a fundamental crossroads in the continuous evolution process of survival horror, which led insiders to try to push everything even further: net of the big steps forward, what more could have been done? In January 1999 the first chapter of Silent Hill arrived on the market, which to be honest followed many of the characteristics that had made Resident Evil an almost unique product of its kind. However, there was something different: the public found themselves in their hands a work with an atmosphere never seen before.
Something sensational born, moreover, almost completely by chance. Did you know that the famous fog that envelops the town actually arises from a purely technical necessity? In order not to exaggerate the hardware of the first PlayStation, Konami developers decided to introduce it into the game environments to make them easier to process. The end result is an element that enriches that atmosphere we have just referred to, which combined with a top-level soundtrack (thanks to master Akira Yamaoka, but we will come back to this later) brought the public a new experience from many points of view.
However, the real radical change comes with the new millennium: the team working on the saga decides to further raise the bar, being able to count on the much more powerful PlayStation 2 for an even more refined technical sector. It is 2001, a year that sees masterpieces such as the first Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid 2 and GTA 3. However, the world of video games was about to be shocked by another new revolution: Silent Hill 2.
The return to the foggy and dark town, however, takes place in a completely unexpected way, starting from a basic concept that it goes to upset and not just what had been the previous work.
Here we will take on the role of James Sunderland, who arrived in Silent Hill after receiving an inexplicable letter from his wife Mary Shepherd. A letter inviting him to go to the place where years ago they built so many beautiful memories together and where Mary, who died three years earlier, claims to be. So it all begins with a first great mystery, on a journey that will forever change the way horror is told in the world of video games.
Silent Hill 2: a necessary return?
Discovering little by little the Silent Hill of the second chapter, our protagonist will get to know some truly unique characters. Central will be the role of Mary, a sort of doppelganger of James's wife: the woman appears in fact with a totally opposite character to Mary, and towards the end of the adventure we will be able to discover and understand the nature of this character.
It is essentially a reflection inherent in the psyche of James himself, who has always wanted in his heart to have a person like this by his side. An aspiration, his, which led him to make an extreme gesture such as the murder of his soul mate: in short, the horror narrated in this game must be perceived from a very psychological point of view.
Silent Hill 2 leads us to dig deep into the mind of the protagonist, investigating the thousand facets of the complex human mind. The attempt to overcome a mourning, trying to hide what is the origin of a pain of this type: all issues that are not easy to narrate and explain in the correct way, but the work signed by Konami manages to do it more than excellently.
The city itself becomes to all intents and purposes a narrative tool, managing to convey a sense of anguish thanks to a truly impressive level of detail for the times. The aforementioned fog, combined with a geography designed specifically to create gloomy and claustrophobic environments, accompanies James in an unprecedented and labyrinthine mental loop. The locations manage, in a very singular way, to communicate this sense of anxiety even on a mental level.
Another element that creates the perfect atmosphere is the aforementioned soundtrack, with which Akira Yamaoka has created something more than just musical accompaniment. Seeing every action marked by the right note at the right time is what makes Silent Hill 2 a unique experience, where even the audio sector is functional to the narrative. From every single point of view. We have already talked about the role of music in videogames several times, and there are titles that thanks to it are able to communicate very specific sensations: in this case fear, fear, anxiety but at times even an apparent calm before the tempest.
A restoration operation of a similar work must inevitably be treated with great, great care. We're talking about a masterpiece that can thus be (re)discovered by new generations of players, while managing to elicit a smile and a few more emotions from longtime fans. In a perfect world, Konami would retrace what Capcom did with Resident Evil: a slow but constant process of renewal of a saga that, on balance, still has a lot to say.
Only time will tell if we will see, with this remake, a new revolution in the world of survival horror. Just as, more than two decades ago, the original managed to leave an indelible and unprecedented mark. The word now passes to you: tell us your personal experience with Silent Hill 2 and, above all, tell us your opinion on how this great return can really (or not) revive a franchise that absolutely needs it.

yesterday I chased nasty bug in drawing 3D gizmo lines into viewports and then I realized that 2D BaseDraw functions probably silently sets basedraw matrix to screen matrix.
I understand the reason why it works like this but still it is unexpected. Please add some note to documentation to 2D drawing functions that they also changes base draw matrix. Just as a hint for developers.
Thanks for reporting this unexpected behavior. I confirm the BaseDraw 2D drawing routines call bd->SetMatrix_Screen().
A note will be added to these functions.

Can You Drive a Car With Only One Pedal?
October 26, 2017 By Dick Young
With more big auto companies announcing each week that their future production will be all electric, it's a good bet you'll own an electric vehicle someday.
But there are inherent differences in electric vehicles when compared to vehicles running internal combustion engines. You don't really need a break pedal on an electric vehicle (EV). Most EVs employ regenerative breaking, so when you take your foot off the accelerator, the car dumps its excess energy into regenerating electricity for future use.
At WIRED, Jack Stewart explains the one-pedal future.
To get the maximum benefit out of driving an electric car, the accelerator (you can't call it a gas pedal anymore!) controls both the speeding up and slowing down. Pressing the pedal makes the car go, as usual, but lifting your foot makes the car slow down, hard, not coast.
It's a quirk that takes some getting used to. At first, it can feel like the parking brake has been accidentally left on. But most drivers eventually prefer it because it makes inching forward in traffic much easier than swapping your foot back and forth between pedals.
In a conventional car, brake pads clamp onto a metal disc, with friction converting the kinetic energy of a speeding car into wasted heat. But when electric cars slow down, the electric motor runs as a generator, recovering some of that previously wasted energy to top up the battery. Depending on how much regeneration the software engineers allow when designing the car, the force can be powerful enough to slow the car most of the way to zero, meaning drivers only need to use the brake pedal to come to a full stop.
Nissan will become the first automaker to introduce full one pedal driving in the latest iteration of the electric Leaf, due later this year. It will have an "e-Pedal" option. The pedals will still look the same, but the brake will be pretty much redundant, and computer controls will give the traditional accelerator extra functions. Lifting off won't just slow the car with regen, but will bring the car to a full stop, and will even hold without rolling backwards on hills.
"I think this is the logical next step," says Jeffrey Miller, an engineering professor at USC. In a Tesla, owners can already choose exactly how much lifting off the accelerator slows the car on the giant touchscreen. In Chevrolet's Bolt, drivers have a paddle behind the steering wheel to request extra regeneration, just as they'd tap to downshift and slow down with a sporty automatic gearbox.

Space Cubs (Suzanne Bonifacio) is singer/songwriter/producer from Buffalo, New York who currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. She first pulled influence from gospel and ambient music, and grew up songwriting and performing with other youth in a church-community setting, as well as taking classical voice and piano. During high school she started getting heavily into experimental and electronic music, which sparked a desire to start exploring that within her own musical journey. This continued throughout college, along with an all female electronic trio, "Chromakid", which consisted of Bonifacio, Tara Rook, and Kat Casale. She then came to form "Space Cubs" as an attempt to spend time exploring the nature of being alone with music.
"Bonifacio's strong suit lays in her expressiveness, elegantly combining the spiritual and the romantic with melodies that seem to demonstrate that the journey of self knowledge is more than a matter of self. She isn't afraid of tapping into unnavigable territory, but similarly to earthy electronic artists such as Bjork and Boards of Canada, her music contains subtle glimpses of tranquility beneath the pretense of complete psychic distortion" (Jeannette Chin, Buffablog). In addition to Bjork and Boards of Canada, she also pulls influence from artists such as Junior Boys, Ulrich Schnauss, Portishead, Dan Deacon, and Kate Bush.

Even with well-developed models predicting weather patterns, forecasts are often not entirely accurate. In 'Prediction and Predictability in the Atmosphere and Ocean,' an OpenCourseWare offered by MIT, students study the factors that limit the success of forecasting technologies and the tools needed for better accuracy. This free graduate-level course is best for students with access to MATLAB software and an understanding of linear algebra.
Atmospheric and oceanic modeling technologies that produce accurate data are needed for many practical-applications, from weather forecasts to the development of safe navigation routes. In this OpenCourseWare from MIT's Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Planetary Sciences, students will learn the integral factors that limit our ability to develop accurate predictions. 'Prediction and Predictability in the Atmosphere and Ocean' exposes students to atmosphere and ocean forecasting systems and shows how the accuracy of forecasts are gauged. The five major topics discussed in this course are data assimilation, adaptive observation, probabilistic forecasting and chaos theory. This graduate-level course is taught by MIT professor Jim Hansen.
Materials for this OpenCourseWare include problem sets, lecture notes, a list of suggested readings and a collection of MATLAB software scripts. To download course materials, or to learn more, visit the predicting the atmosphere and ocean course page.


Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Heather N. for your donation!
Many, many thanks to Effigy for your donation!
A big, heartfelt thanks to Dan (GoneFishin) for your donation!
Thank you Ahron (AfricanMeat) for your generosity!
My deep appreciation and warm thanks to Rod Franklin and MarkR for your donations - THANK YOU!
Guys - If I manage to skip anyone, please let me know privately, and I will correct that error. I want to acknowledge each and every donation, even if you prefer to remain "anonymous."
Thanks to all - this is your forum too, and your support means the world!
Many thanks to Brook (HistoricFoodie) for your generosity - not only for your donation, but your excellently-written primers as well!
Aw, gee, shucks, boss. Now I need go buy a bigger hat.
One thing these donations demonstrate: if you spread water thinly enough, nobody gets wet. It doesn't take but a couple of bucks from each of us and operating costs are more than covered. Probably the best deal on the net.
Very true, Brook - I can't thank each and every one of you all enough. This forum is really the realisation of a dream of mine, and as we add to the knowledge base here, it truly does become "our" forum - a community that not only has good recipes, but a ton of great information and even the opportunity to make a friend or two!
Speaking of friends, I'd like to give my especially deep and heart-felt thanks to my friend Dave (Hoser), who has not only been here since the beginning, but also has been more than instrumental in the direction this forum has been taking, and the path that it will continue to take as it grows. The truth is that I should be paying him, yet he took the time to make a generous contribution, and I can't convey my appreciation enough ~ Thank You, Dave!
And thank you Mike (pitrow) for your donation today!
Ron, I have just consulted a friend who has a forum, in accordance with his advice, I have just paypaled you $150. According to him that should pay for 1 year of service.
very generous of you drinks! I know that it's been too long since I gave a donation...I'll change that coming up shortly.
I spent a couple of days trying to come up with something profound to say, but in the end, I can't think of anything that is more appropriate than simply, "thank you."
Small contribution from Thymewarp was me.
Hi, Anne - and thank you!
I would like to thank, very profusely - everyone who ahs been sending in contributions, big or small. Thanks to them, we were able to renew our server hosting again this summer!
To all - please allow me to express my apologies; I have been slacking off quite a bit in thanking everyone who has donated. It hasn't gone unnoticed, and I am very grateful for the support that this forum receives!
For those who use PayPal, you can set up a monthly donation, if you want; just a dollar or two each month adds up, over the course of the year! I am finally in a position to start doing the same now, and have done so, effective today; for me, it is much easier to "set it and forget it" at a small amount, than to throw in large chunks, now and then.


I walk on an endless plane where ground and sky are one.
Contrasting against a non-descript, grayscale world.
Especially red, like the girl in the red sweatshirt from Schindler's List.
The eye doctor waves hello, but I see her white sleeve, not her tawny hand.
I've been known to think a small tree was a person.
I've flinched at unknown shadows, even my own.
I turn like a sunflower toward any emission of light.
That find their way even into my dreams.
Cones and rods fall away, and I see ghostly yellow and purple ripples.
Blood vessels burst, and my world bleeds red.
If I stare at something long enough, I can make it disappear.
