Another one for the animal lovers is the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. This perennially popular attraction has a particular focus on marine life of the South Pacific, although their reach does expand farther. See amazing exhibits like Jurassic Seas, Sydney Harbour, Dugong Island, and many more.
Some of the many enchanting (and sometimes intimidating!) creatures you'll see here include many varieties of shark, moon jellies, a giant Pacific octopus, and the fierce Queensland Groper. Be sure to visit the Great Barrier Reef exhibit, which features an array of sea life from this endangered reef.
Getting In: SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium tickets are available on The Sydney Pass.
For anyone interested in the seafaring culture of Australia, from her first days as a British colony to her modern naval expeditions, the Australian National Maritime Museum is a must-visit. You'll find fascinating collections of artifacts, photographs, and more, alongside interactive exhibits and displays that showcase everything from the earliest explorations of the "unknown land" to contemporary concerns.
The real highlight, though, is the chance to tour their historical vessel collection. Begin with a replica of the infamous ship of Captain Cook, and then see other ships like the retired Navy Destroyer HMAS Vampire, retired Navy patrol boat HMAS Advance, retired submarine HMAS Onslow, and more.
Getting In: Australian National Maritime Museum tickets are available on The Sydney Pass.
If you're looking for a place for lunch while exploring Darling Harbour, then the Harbour Bar and Kitchen might be just the thing. Known for their casual, laid-back vibe and delicious food, this harbourside mainstay promises a good time will be had by all.
With the pass, you'll get your choice of a few popular entrees (like burgers, fish and chips, and barbecue) plus a beer or soft drink. It's an easy, affordable way to find something good to eat without trying to figure out the local Yelp scene.
Getting In: Harbour Bar and Kitchen Meal tickets are available on The Sydney Pass.
The Eco Hopper is one of the most popular ways to get around in Sydney. It combines the fun and excitement of a cruise with the practical benefits of a water taxi. Use your 24-hour pass to get around the city to and from Darling Harbour, or just ride the entire route like a sightseeing cruise.
Either way, it's a nice means of transportation around a gorgeous waterfront neighborhood.
Getting In: Eco Hopper tickets are available on The Sydney Pass.

If you're in search of an ideal souvenir from your sojourn to Sydney, or if you just love to get your shop on, then head to the Harbourside Shopping Centre for some quality mall time. You'll find everything from the best names in retail to new and innovative restaurants.
The Harbourside Shopping Centre is a gathering place for locals, too, and you'll really get a feel for how Sydneysiders live.
Getting In: The Harbourside Shopping Centre is free to explore (the shopping, unfortunately, is not).
If you're still in search of more dining options or are perhaps looking for that perfect waterfront watering hole, then look no further than King Street Wharf. You'll find dozens of top restaurants, unique bars, and fun places to hang out at this waterfront complex.
There's even a bowling bar, where you can get your drink on while attempting to knock down a few pins. This area is also home to a number of apartment buildings, so it's another popular local hangout.
Getting In: King Street Wharf is free to explore.
Chinese Garden of Friendship
If you're looking for that peaceful, relaxing space in the heart of the bustling Darling Harbour, you'll find it at the Chinese Garden of Friendship. This walled garden recreates the eastern model of serenity by focusing on the simple things and the harmony between man and nature.
Stroll through waterfalls, exotic plants, weeping willows, and more. Admire the koi fish populating the lakes. And perhaps enjoy some traditional tea service at the Teahouse. It's a real treat to come to this garden.
Getting In: The Chinese Garden of Friendship is separately ticketed and is not included with The Sydney Pass.
The Carousel at Darling Harbour
Hop aboard one of Australia's most historic carousels, believed to be the second oldest in the country after the one at the Melbourne Zoo and one of the few in the world remaining from the nineteenth century.
Located right near the Sydney Visitor Centre, this historic carousel was actually built in England in 1892 and brought to Australia in 1894. Today it's a beautiful and still fully functional carousel that the kids will love. Makes for great photos, too!
Getting In: The Carousel at Darling Harbour is free to ride.

In the Wake of the Coronavirus, We Must Design and Build the Schools We Need—Not Simply Reopen Schools As They Were
By Khalilah M. Harris May 26, 2020, 9:02 am
Communities using parent power and progressive school districts alike are beginning to plan recovery strategies coming out of the COVID-19 crisis that focus on the needs of every student and keep equity at the center of their proposals. Using federal and state funds to reinstate a broken public school system that has operated against all concepts of equity is the wrong approach. Instead, the federal government should make it a priority to fund efforts to reimagine what's possible for public education and public school students.
Whether it's access to the care and concern of expert educators, school-based meals, supports for learning differences and learning English, safety from homelessness or from abuse that may be present at home, America's public school students deserve to rise from the COVID-19 pandemic in a better position than when the crisis began. This will only happen if the nation commits itself to providing today's young people a quality education and equitably provides the resources to accomplish that in the near and long term. America must run toward equity in this time of need—not away from it.
The impulse to consider how to cover more content or squeeze three months of missed learning into a new school year instead of pursuing age-appropriate mastery should be avoided at all costs. Using the community as a classroom can no longer be a novel idea. Better still, family and community engagement, especially when it comes to what schools will look like, must be a necessity versus simply a nice element to have.
This pandemic has revealed that opportunity has not only been beyond the reach of students from families with fewer resources but also that the quality of education for working- and middle-class families has been limited if not subpar. When race is factored in, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and some populations of Asian American and Pacific Islander students have clearly been deprived of the basic tools for success. Likewise, their educators too often are working in conditions that undermine the country's stated commitment to invest in students' futures. Before policymakers set out to determine the dollars needed to get students back to learning, they should take this opportunity to slow down and place equity at the center of their efforts before speeding up to address student and educator needs in the midst of this crisis.
At a small scale, the consequences of inequity are surfaced when students are locked out of crumbling schools during inclement weather, locked out of careers due to inadequate career and technical education, or locked out of college due to lack of preparation. However, COVID-19 has shined a harsh light and laid those inequities bare in the face of students who won't be able to access college because their family's income has been wiped out or because the digital divide is making access to guidance counselors difficult if not impossible. Students with disabilities and English language learners likewise are without necessary supports. Educators have been tasked with being a bridge between trauma and normalcy for students, even though they lack the adequate training to accomplish distance learning or the space to manage their own grief and families.
Moreover, there will be massive shortfalls in state budgets that will not be stabilized by provisions in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act or by proposed funding levels in the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act. While the federal government has responded to this crisis for the very short term, that response and approach is woefully inadequate. The 2008 recession showed that state governments have been inclined to reduce investments in education following a crisis while simultaneously expecting improved outcomes for students.
Absent a vaccine or approved treatment, one can anticipate the upcoming summer learning loss and massive gaps in literacy development that will occur in the face of school closures with no foreseeable opening date. Therefore, district officials, labor leaders, educators, and community members should make plans to establish clear grade-level competencies as a target for students to end the 2020-2021 school year. Those efforts should be funded with federal dollars and prioritized before school districts make decisions about how to resume school. Any process should consider community assets for families interested in extending classrooms outside of the school building to avoid long-term instruction through screens.
Just as critical, for the long term, is determining what systems need to be in place for future extended school closures and in support of an equitable model of schooling. Funding should be established for the recovery stage of this pandemic to ramp up innovative strategies that are beginning to be seen around the country such as the use of public access channels to deliver instructional content and ensuring 1-to-1 access to technology for every student. Likewise, instead of elected leaders focusing on absolving institutions of higher education from being liable for endangering students, staff, and faculty by opening too soon, they should focus on the role that they can play to quickly redesign teacher and administrator training. This resource should be targeted at preservice educators, as well as for those already serving students, to function in a system that works for everyone. Finally, federal dollars need to be effectively and strategically deployed to eradicate the digital divide in both rural areas and urban cores.
Undoubtedly, there are immediate needs to be addressed by this massive disruption. However, these needs won't be remedied by simply thrusting equipment into the hands of students and educators with an expectation that they continue to participate in a structure that left many underprepared and others unprepared to continue the process of learning. Instead, serious consideration must be given to both a school calendar that is structured to support families through a year-round system of learning and educator training that supports teachers' and school leaders' roles in preparing civically engaged and future-ready students.
While there is no silver lining to a global pandemic that's taking people's lives and creating untenable living and financial situations for millions, this nation was built by people who innovated and thrived despite desperate circumstances. Now is the time to use that ingenuity to create a system of education that makes it possible for all children to thrive in a society that will sustain us all into the distant future.

Bentley to continue with W12 engine | What Car?
Bentley will continue to develop its 12-cylinder engine, despite current trends for downsizing and the arrival of the companys all-new V8, Bentley's technical director Ralf Frech has revealed to What Car?.
The W12 can have the same improvements as the new V8, he said, admitting that the current 12-cylinder, fitted to the Continental range could see improvements to fuel economy and power, possibly taking it close to 600bhp (the current W12 has 567bhp).
Other insiders suggested that Bentley engineers are developing an eight-speed auto gearbox to replace the current six-speeder.
Frech also admitted that Bentley is considering hybrid technology for its cars.
We are looking at the possibility of a hybrid, particularly a plug-in hybrid, but we are waiting for the next generation of technologies because none of the current solutions work, he said.
Bentley sources have previously admitted that the Mulsanne luxury limo and forthcoming SUV are likely to have a hybrid option.


This is a true Black Face AB763 designed single channel amp and the same Black Face circuitry found in a Black Face Deluxe Reverb style amp, only without the unused Normal channel. They added a Mid range tone pot for better control over your EQ, a Dwell control to the back of the chassis as a second EQ for the Reverb, and a Bright/Dark Switch, so the amp would not be permanently wired in the Bright mode like the original. It also uses the same transformer set as their Vintage 22, (Black Face Deluxe Reverb style) and the same filter cap system.

It is the opposition's role to question and the incumbent's role to heed the questions and come up with the solutions
by Ghui
The Singapore Parliament in session / photo istana.gov.sg
Being concerned with rising living costs and stagnant wages in any society is a very legitimate concern. It is therefore surprising that a fellow citizen has seemingly dismissed these valid worries as "populist".
In his letter, a writer by the name of Sean Lim Wei Xin (Sean) has criticised opposition politician Lim Tean of making invalid promises in his Facebook videos. Sean further stated that Lim did not "propose viable alternatives".
I have never fully agreed with the opinion that one has to have a better idea before one can ask questions or criticise government policies. The government is elected to run a country. It is, therefore, their job to assess their voters' satisfaction and come up with solutions and alternatives if there is enough dissatisfaction with a given policy. With this in mind, is having another solution a prerequisite to criticising?
The job of the opposition parties (especially in a unique democracy such as ours where Parliament is overwhelmingly made up of one single party) is to ensure a semblance of checks and balance in our system. That is precisely what Lim is trying to do. Our opposition parties are at this point, for one reason or other which is perhaps best not said in this article, too small to have the resources to come up with a solution for every grievance.
However, this does not mean that they should shut up and sit down as implied by Sean. They should continue to ask questions so that the government is kept on its toes and not complacent. In a single party system like ours, it is easy for the dominant party to rest on its laurels. It is only with questions (however inconvenient) that we can exact some form of accountability. I for one am glad that Lim is trying to do this even if he does not have an immediate solution.
It is the opposition's role to question and it is the incumbent's role to heed the questions and come up with the solutions. Sean should bear in mind that in our unique political landscape, this is all the opposition parties can do at this point.
Incidentally, it is only with the asking of questions that lead to discussions and it is only with discussions that we can hopefully come up with a solution or a better policy when before there was none. Questions and criticisms, therefore, play a very important role. They kick-start a process. Sean's opinion is in my humble opinion short-sighted and misguided.

Mechanical tinplate Cameraman probably 1920s. Probably 1920s, unmarked, but either British or German. Probably cord threaded through slots enabled it to be pulled easily. When horizontal lever to the back is pushed in the Cameramen lifts his arm with pointed finger, revealing his pocket watch, and at the same time the plate is inserted into the camera. When drawn back the arm comes down and the plate is ejected. Unusual piece.

Despite feeling, for years, that I didn't have enough time to bring my visions to fruition, it's interesting to notice that I am exactly where I need to be right now.
My births changed me and supporting others in birth has changed me even more profoundly. To witness what can happen when we drop the resistance, the fear, and surrender to the deep wisdom within our bodies.. wow.
All I can say is that Ecstatic Birth prep reverberates far beyond birth and deep into motherhood and womanhood.
What has emerged most profoundly for me is a trust in the cyclical nature of the universe in which I am intimately intertwined.
Everything is dancing to a perpetual rhythm of expansion and contraction- the moon, my uterus, my orgasms, and my birthing body.
Of course I am exactly where I need to be right now.. could it any other way?
This quiet summer has come at the perfect moment in my life, a time where I am open and available to stand for expectant mamas more profoundly than ever before.
If you are curious about Ecstatic Birth, what it means, and if it would be possible for you, come talk to me.
If you love the idea, but would like some hand held support navigating your options, come talk to me.
…to answer any questions you may have.
and to tell you about the private training program I am currently offering.

Tilde has developed Ukrainian machine translation systems
21.03.2022 - ICT, Ukraine
Free Ukrainian machine translation systems developed by Tilde will support refugee efforts to integrate into the countries such as Poland and the Baltics that are giving them refuge, as well as provide direct access to Ukrainian information sources.
The new Ukrainian machine translation solution for texts, documents and websites is freely available on translate.tilde.com and the Tilde Translator mobile app. The new systems translate between Ukrainian and English, Polish, Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian. These systems have been developed to make it easier for
Ukrainian refugees to access local information, prepare necessary documents, and communicate across languages. Instant machine translation of material from Ukrainian sources will give direct access to comprehensive news and information on the situation in the war-zone.
"When the Russian invasion began, we looked at ways how we could help Ukraine not only financially, but also with our artificial intelligence technologies. It is crucial that Ukrainian refugees have instant access to the latest news, local authority websites, assistance providers, and necessary documents. Our team worked with great enthusiasm and completed this special challenge that typically requires several months in just 11 days," said Andrejs Vasiļjevs, the CEO of Tilde.

Freyberg Place and Ellen Melville Centre are located in the heart of the High Street District, connecting High Street to the O'Connell Street shared space, Chancery Square and the Metropolis.
Both have been extensively refurbished and re-opened to the public in September 2017, offering an open air public space for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine and an indoor community centre for local residents, workers and visitors.
The square on Freyberg Place includes terraced seating, a cascading 'stream' water feature perfect for kids to splash around in on a sunny day and native planting set around an open plaza for events. A statue of Lord Freyberg, New Zealand's seventh governor-general overlooks the area.
Ellen Melville Centre has five spaces available for community use, with classes and programmes run by organisations including Splice and Plunket and a variety of arts, culture and technology events being hosted. A flexible urban living room with cafe style seating opens on to Freyberg Place.
Art runs through the veins of this community space, with both old and new works featured.
The exterior wall of the Ellen Melville Centre facing on to O'Connell Street is occupied by Justice, a large scale work by Lisa Reihana, A bronze sculpture of the scales of justice reference Ellen Melville, politician, women's advocate, lawyer and pioneer. The bronze form floats above an abstract wall drawing with a 1950s feel. Inside the centre you will see Tukutuku panels originally installed at the hall's original opening in 1962, restored by Ōrākei weavers for the 2017 re-opening.
The outdoor water feature incorporates carvings laid into concrete by artist Graham Tipene and the wider design of the space was a collaboration between artist John Reynolds along with Isthmus Group and Stevens Lawson Architects.

NEW DELHI: The Modi administration wants to make all government services available on mobile phones in the next five years so that citizens don't have to visit offices, making it much easier for them to get their work done efficiently and conveniently.
The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), which reports to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), proposed this last week in a report prepared along with Nasscom and KPMG.
The move would be a vital element of India's push to improve its ranking of 119 out of 193 countries in the UN E-Government Index and breaking into the top 10, DARPG secretary Devendra Chaudhary said in the report.
"In order to achieve the vision of Digital India and ensure the delivery of government services to citizens, the mobile platform needs to be leveraged to its full potential," said the report's foreword by JS Deepak, secretary, Department of Electronics and Information Technology, who was named on Friday as telecom secretary.
"Multi-lingual mobile-governance services are important for service delivery. Aadhaar-linked, mobile-based authentication mechanism needs to be developed to become a widely-used channel for citizen authentication," Deepak said.
Nasscom president R Chandrashekhar pressed for digital technologies to be brought centre-stage in the delivery of services to citizens.


Dr. J., as you, our gentle readers, know, is an Israel fan-boy, and as such has tremendous sympathy for the citizens of Israel as they are being bombarded by Palestinian terrorists on a daily basis.
He stumbled upon this website which lets you superimpose Gaza, Israel and Palestinian missile ranges upon your favorite corner of the world.
Dr. J. prays for peace for our friends in Israel, but he knows that peace won't come unless her enemies let go of their hatred.


In early November 2018, the sale of Sunseeker 28m Yacht, HIGH ENERGY, took place.
SYM are especially proud of their connection with this particular yacht as she was owned by the founder of Sunseeker International, Robert Braithwaite CBE, DL.
HIGH ENERGY was therefore a true Flagship for SYM and one we were very proud to manage.


A portable battery charger is something that almost everyone should own in this day and age. With LTE radios and massive HD screens sucking the life out of our phones in just a few hours at times, you may need quick on-the-go power on a regular basis. There are a variety of options out there, but after having the kuel f60Q for a few weeks now, I can easily say that this should make your short list of portable chargers to consider.
First, it's pretty damn stylish for a portable charger. Some of the options we have seen in the past tend to be massive black tanks that you would be embarrassed to pull out in public. The kuel f60Q looks clean, minimal, and might even impress your friends at an LTE hand-holding spritzer party.
But the point of this device is not looks, so let's talk about how it performs. It packs a 6,000 mAh battery cell that can recharge a standard phone around 3 times before needing to refuel. It works on both Android and Apple products, so if you invest in the kuel f60Q, you know that it won't be locked down to just a couple of your personal tech gadgets. Its charging port weighs in at 10W, which is enough juice to get your phone charged in almost no time, hence the "quick charger" name that is embedded on the side. To give you an idea, I dropped by Galaxy Nexus down to about 15%, plugged it into the kuel for about an hour and a half and was at 97%. That's as good as a wall charger.
What about the price? It's not cheap. At $124.99 there are less expensive options out there that have larger battery cells. So if you are in the market for a portable charger (and as I mentioned earlier, you should be), you will need to decide if you want a slim, sleek, and stylish option that is easily packable and will charge your phone in no time, or if you want to save a few bucks and go with a tank that may get you twice the life.


I've long thought that Canada's social leaders need to come together to provide new leadership for Canada; a social vision that not only trumps politics but that sets national priorities that are then interpreted and enacted through political platforms and government initiatives. I don't see socialism, capitalism, or "green" as goals unto themselves, they are different means to the common end of helping us live better lives. If we start with a strong vision of our Canada, our provinces, and communities, I believe each party can find unique ways to achieve these goals.
I believe we are on the cusp of a new wave in leadership: new high-level collaborations aimed at empowering action (the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance is an early example), and new high-level government strategies that address current issues and priorities through tangible actions that will improve our lives.
To get there, we need strong voices in support of a positive vision for our country. We need our social and business leaders to work together as partners in a new Canada. We need our politicians and governments to focus on solutions that will help us live better as part of a vibrant and sustainable Canada.
This is my personal manifesto. Feel free to forward it to your friends, share on Facebook or write your own. Perhaps with a little momentum we can trigger renewed pride in Canada and commitment to a better and more sustainable future.

Breakfast briefing: Retail news on Bhs, Elverys, Findel and more
Retail news round-up on April 1, 2014: Sir Philip Green targets 50 Bhs food stores by September, Sports Direct loses bid for Elverys, Express Gifts owner Findel full-year sales up 5% and Card Factory to float on the stock market
Sir Philip Green draws plans to open 50 Bhs food stores by September
Sir Philip Green has devised plans for 50 BHS food outlets by September. "Let's see what it does for the business, the stores and the brand — but if we like the results we can open 50 by September," Sir Philip told The Times. Sir Philip opened the first of three trial food stores within BHS in Staines last week. A second will open in Warrington this week, followed by a third in Romford, northeast London, later this month.
Irish retailer Elverys to be bought by own management
Irish sportswear chain Elverys is set to be snapped up by its own management, Irish Independent reported. The management buyout (MBO) team, led by managing director Patrick Rowland, has indicated a commitment to retaining the retailer's 700-strong workforce, and the bulk of its 56 stores. They have received new investment through corporate finance house CapNua and AIB.
The UK sports retailer Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley and US firm Hilco were among the losing bids. Court-appointed examiner of Elverys, accountant Simon Coyle of Mazars, selected the MBO team as preferred bidders following a competitive sale process. He must now present the offer to the High Court as part of a scheme of arrangement, which has to be backed by at least one class of creditor, before approval can be granted for Elverys to exit examinership. While no job redundancies are expected, it is still unclear whether all stores will be retained by the new owners.
Express Gifts owner Findel full-year sales up 5%
Express Gifts owner Findel revealed sales jumped 5% in its full year as it expects profits to be "substantially" ahead year-on-year. In a trading update after entering the close period for the year to March 28 Findel said sales in the second half of the year increased 4.7%. It expects operating profit and pre-tax profit "substantially ahead" of the previous year drive by the performance of Express Gifts and Findel Education.
Card Factory looks to float on stock market
Discount retailer Card Factory's private equity owner Charterhouse is exploring a stock market listing with an IPO that could value at more than £700m, The Telegraph reported. The owner is working on float plans with UBS and Morgan Stanley and an IPO could be launched by the summer.

South Korea Thinks It Found Two Crashed Drones From North Korea
Apr 3, 2014, 9:30pm
On Wednesday, South Korean officials unveiled photos of two rudimentary drones that crashed over the border, on South Korean land, around the same time the country exchanged live fire with North Korea. And indeed they think it was the North Koreans who sent the drones — if you want to call them drones, that is.
The unmanned aerial vehicles are, in fact, just a couple of model aircraft that have been outfitted with digital cameras and painted blue, presumably to blend in with the sky. One was found on Baengnyeong Island in the Yellow Sea on Monday, and the other was found in Paju on March 24. South Korea thinks one of the drones also few over the presidential palace in Seoul. "Despite its crude designs, each aircraft seems to be faithful to its basic function — aerial espionage — by carrying a high-definition camera, which should never be ignored in terms of security," said Shin In-kyun from the Korea Defence Network.
Crude as they may be, however, it would be a major security breach if these aircraft managed to fly over the presidential palace without being pick up by radar. As such, a team of military, intelligence, and espionage experts are currently conducting an investigation into the matter. South Korean presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook told reporters, "The final investigation results have yet to come out, but a review is underway that North Korea is thought to have done it."
It wouldn't be a big surprise. Last year, Kim Jong-Un was displayed on North Korean state television while watching drone attacks during a military drill, and he said the drones were meant for South Korea. Drones also appear to have been showcased during a parade. The drones might not be the multi million dollar aircraft the United States uses. Then again, they're not held together with packing tape, either. [WSJ, NYT]

Meet Max Zuleta, the man turning ice into art around Milwaukee
By Vianca Fuster
Ice sculpting is no joke a cold business – just ask Guiness World Record holder Max Zuleta. Zuleta is a career ice sculptor and his work has taken him to competitions and events all across the world. His newest studio is right here in Wisconsin, and he's carving interactive ice sculptures all over Milwaukee.
Listen to the audio story below to meet Max Zuleta, the owner of an ice sculpting business called Art Below Zero.
Zuleta is originally from Venezuela where he owned the only ice sculpting business for 12 years. In search of a bigger market, he ventured up north to Zion, Illinois first before settling into his new studio in Racine, Wisconsin.
You may have already seen Zuleta's work around the Third Ward. He's behind the ice bars that have popped around the city. In fact, his Guiness World Record is for the longest ice bar. He built the 204-foot-long ice bar in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Over the weekend, his team brought 14 sculptures to Oak Creek's second annual Winter Festival. Zuleta created interactive ice sculptures and an ice bar for festival-goers. He made a proud-looking Bucky Badger, an iPhone, and a ice block graffiti wall for visitors to tag.
Kids lined up in the Drexel Town Square to carve their initials into the ice wall. Across the town square, Zuleta and his team began assembling a 12-foot ice horse. Each ice block weights about 300 pounds and the horse was broken up into 14 different pieces.
Zuleta sawed through the ice, making his own personal snow shower. Families quickly gathered around in awe of the team's work. "I like to get people's attention," said Zuleta. "Once we get them I don't want them to leave until the sculpture is done."
And they don't. Kids couldn't take their eyes off of Zuleta's work. By the end of the day, they carved a crystal clear and detailed horse.

Spencer Dinwiddie also scored 22 points, DeMarre Carroll added 18 and Caris LeVert had 16 to go along with seven assists.
The result was a tough four-point loss and now the Nets will conclude their grueling seven-game road trip against the Sixers, who are desperate for a victory.
Atkinson told his team that winning at least one of the final two games on the trip would be ideal. It won't be an easy task coming to Philadelphia.

Lady on a Train () é um filme norte-americano de 1945, do gênero suspense, dirigido por Charles Davis e estrelado por Deanna Durbin e Ralph Bellamy.

Lady on a Train mostra a soprano Deanna Durbin em um papel diferente, com maior peso dramático, como já acontecera em Christmas Holiday (1944). Ainda assim, há espaço para a estrela das comédias ingênuas da Universal cantar, entre outras, a clássica Silent Night.

Fãs de faroestes B talvez reconheçam o futuro astro do gênero Lash LaRue, em um breve e não creditado papel de garçom.

Sinopse
Nikki Collins, jovem apaixonada por histórias de mistério, presencia um assassinato da janela do trem em que estava. Ela conta o que viu para a polícia, mas não é levada a sério. Desesperada, pede ajuda a Wayne Morgan, que escreve... histórias de mistério. Daí em diante, Nikki envolve-se com a família da vítima e até chega a ser vista como sua namorada cantora. Risos e calafrios mais tarde, o assassino é finalmente desmascarado.

Q: How can I grant access to array of admins on Firebase database rules I am stuck trying to allow an an array of admins access to their data.
I have a database structure like this:
{
    "Respondents": {
        "Acme Corp": {
            "admins": ["mMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284HntNRETmx1", ""mx1TERNmMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284Hnt"],
            "data": {data goes here...}
        },
        "Another Inc": {
            "admins": ["Dh284HmMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284HntN", ""x1TERNmx1TERNmMK7eTrRL4UgVDh"],
            "data": {their data goes here...}
        }
    }
}

And then I tried to set my rules like this
{
  "rules": {
    "Respondents": {
      "$organisation" : {
        ".read": "root.child('Respondents').child($organisation).child('admins').val().includes(auth.id)",
        ".read": "root.child('Respondents').child($organisation).child('admins').val().includes(auth.id)"
      }
    }
  }
}

..but that won't parse in the Firebase Database Rules editor
I get "Error saving rules - Line 7: No such method/property 'includes'", but I need something to match the user id with the array of admins.
Any experience or suggestions?

A: As you've found, there is no includes() operation in Firebase's security rules. This is because Firebase doesn't actually store the data as an array. If you look in the Firebase Database console or read this blog post you will see that Firebase stores it as a regular object:
"admins": {
  "0": "mMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284HntNRETmx1",
  "1": "mx1TERNmMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284Hnt"
}

And since that is a regular JavaScript object, there is no contains() method on it.
In general creating arrays are an anti-pattern in the Firebase Database. They're often the wrong data structure and when used are regularly the main cause of scalability problems.
In this case: you're not really looking to store a sequence of UIDs. In fact: the order of the UIDs doesn't matter, and each UID can be meaningfully present in the collection at most once. So instead of an array, you're looking to store set of uids.
To implement a set in Firebase, you use this structure:
"admins": {
  "mMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284HntNRETmx1": true,
  "mx1TERNmMK7eTrRL4UgVDh284Hnt": true
}

The value doesn't matter much. But since you must have a value to store a key, it is idiomatic to use true.
Now you can test whether a key with the relevant UID exists under admins (instead of checking whether it contains a value):
"root.child('Respondents').child($organisation).child('admins').child(auth.uid).exists()",

D'uomo
IGP Decaux / Ammiro Y2K / Archdiocese of Milan - Piazza del Duomo, Milan (ITA)
D'uomo is a synaesthetic work carried out by Project-On on February 28th, 2012 on Duomo, the Cathedral of Milan, with video mapping techniques, on behalf of IGPDecaux and Ammiro Y2K, in cooperation with the Archdiocese of Milan.
It is a metaphysical view of man, inspired by the architecture of the building, talking about the dichotomy Man-Woman and Light-Shadow projected in the development of the social individual. Man, as a sprout, discovers the space by touching interpreting constructing and deconstructing.
The individual is represented as a creative light born from the union of the two archetypes of male and female, inspired by the genesis depicted in the decoration of the Cathedral.
The light just started to move, discovering its size and starting to change, then multiplying in a harmonious waltz of 4 arches which dance on the surface , increasing up to become a view of the city (a glimpse of the surrounding map of Milan Cathedral) as ultimate symbol of social architecture.
At the peak of its development, the light then investigates architecture that points to the elevation, describing the interior, stained glass and the magnificence of its structure to switch-off the engine and bring the viewer into a dynamic phase of transformation from chaotic to surreal-synthetic mathematical abstraction ordered up to the synthesis of the eternal relationship between light and shadow.
All in full respect of religious and symbolic significance of the Duomo, as the philosophy of customer IGPDecaux with the motto which closes the work: "WHAT IT'S WORTH IT TO BE DONE IT IS WORTH IT TO BE WELL DONE!"

Alternative Futures and Targets for Borneo
A few months ago we published a paper (Runting et al 2015) in which we employ an integrated economic and environmental planning approach to evaluate four alternative futures for the island of Borneo. This paper was inspired by the observation that public policy targets for the 3 nations on Borneo (Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei) were potentially conflicting. For instance, Indonesia had pledged to ensure 45% forest cover on the island and stabilise orangutan populations, but also had a targets to double oil palm production and expand industrial timber plantations.
We wanted to work out if it was possible to meet all of these development and conservation with the existing land-use plans, and if not, what was the best way to plan to achieve these targets. We explored four alternative futures for Borneo, each representing a set of policy objectives and a planning strategy:
baseline (current land-use allocations are executed);
uncoordinated, state-based planning to achieve policy;
partial coordination (coordinated planning in the mountainous interior of Borneo); and
integrated planning across all four states (allowing for both jurisdictional coordination and the reallocation of some land uses)
We found that the current land use plan (scenario 1) was inefficient, and would fall substantially short of meeting conservation goals. The most cost-effective way to achieve these targets was not only to re-allocate existing land uses were possible (e.g. unplanted oil-palm concession) but also to collaborate with other nations when doing so (scenario 4). Allowing a more efficient allocation of land-uses minimises the opportunity cost by placing each land-use where it is the most productive (for development targets), or where it can meet conservation goals the most cost-effectively. Also, collaboration between the three nations removes the state-based planning constraint, which opens up many more opportunities to take advantage of efficiencies.
Whilst integrated planning (scenario 4) made substantial progress towards achieving species conservation targets, the allocation of protected areas is biased towards habitat favoured by orangutan, potentially at the expense of other species or the livelihoods of local people. The current public policy targets for forest cover are not specific – they do not give ecosystem-specific targets, or mention forest condition (so potentially a degraded logged forest with no plans for active restoration would still count towards this target). We then demonstrated what the outcome would be if this target was more representative by specifically targeting different ecosystems in our land-use plan. This resulted in a greater geographic representation of the different vegetation types and a solution that was still cost-effective (but not as cheap as the initial integrated planning scenario).
Essentially, the effectiveness of any planning strategy depends on the adequacy of the set targets, and also the governments' commitment to achieving them. This highlights the importance of collaborating not only in land-use planning, but also in the development of the targets that drive the outcomes. The importance of prioritising the process of target setting has been the focus of other members of the Rhodes Lab (Maxwell et al 2014 and Maxwell et al 2015), who argue that applying negotiation tools that have successfully resolved issues between conflicting stakeholders in other contexts (e.g. Game theory, Management Strategy Evaluation and Collaborative Learning) can lead to more transparent and accountable environmental targets. Ideally, targets would be fully backed by all relevant stakeholders, be developed in the context of other objectives, and respect national sovereignty.
In our analysis (Runting et al 2015) we assumed that governments seek to achieve their stated public policy targets, and that all targets are weighted equally. However, the reality is that there will be far greater governmental support for increasing profits from oil palm and other lucrative activities, as opposed to meeting conservation targets. This issue is not unique to Borneo—developing effective targets to achieve sustainable development is a global challenge.

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted much this week, I just got back today from a long weekend in the Okanagan! It was a much needed weekend away.
I'm not here to give a play by play or anything like that, but I thought I might make a quick post to update and share some pictures!
We had been planning this weekend away for some time, and by "planning" I mean "we knew we were going" , but it was Matthew's idea to not really plan anything at all! Initially that idea really freaked me out, but I'm so glad that we went with it. We hit the road with no hotel or excursions planned and just… Left.
There's us on the beach in Kewlona! The weather wasn't the best the first day but we didn't care. It was fun adventuring around, rain or shine!
Another big thing that happened this weekend: my first treat meal in WEEKS! It was so amazing guys! There were about 6 different kinds of BBQ meats, fries, and CORNBREAD which I totally went crazy over!
We were up early that day from 5 am, so after some adventures we relaxed in the hot tub at the hotel!
The next day the weather was a lot nicer and we got to enjoy the sun in our bathing suits!
We found a restaurant in Penticton that serves "fast, healty, and affordable" food… It was SO GOOD. Teriyaki chicken with a side slaw. It fit my current eating habits and was everything my body needed!
The hot tub & pool in our second hotel blew the first one AWAY!! Like seriously guys, this place was amazing. If you ever stop in Vernon BC, I highly recommend a stay at The Atrium Hotel!!
This break was so good for me in every way. I'm feeling relaxed and refreshed, and ready to continue pursuing my goals!
Thanks for reading! I will be posting my weekly update soon!
awesome pics! looks like you had a great time – you earned it!
