Dragan Šajnović (né le  à Banja Luka et mort le ) était un violoniste bosnien. Il était le fils d'Ivo Šajnović, un juriste qui fut également un des premiers ethnographes de Bosnie-Herzégovine.

Biographie
Dragan Šajnović effectua des études de professeur à l'École des maîtres () de sa ville natale. Très tôt, il se passionna pour la musique classique et il étudia le violon avec Josip Soukal et Karol Pahor. Il approfondit ensuite sa formation au conservatoire de Ljubljana entre 1928 et 1935, dans les classes de J.Šlaisa et K.Rupela. Au terme de ces études, devenu à son tour professeur, Šajnović retourna dans sa ville natale de Banja Luka.

Parallèlement à ses études, Dragan Šajnović commença à se produire en concert à partir de 1925, faisant notamment partie du Gudački kvartet de Banja Luka, qui promouvait la musique de chambre dans la ville.

En 1935, il devint professeur à l'École de musique (en serbe : ) de Banja Luka, dont il fut directeur de 1936 à 1938. Entre 1938 et 1941, il fut professeur au lycée de Đevđelija, dans l'actuelle République de Macédoine, puis, de 1941 à 1947, il devint professeur au Lycée de Banja Luka et à l'École des maîtres de la ville. De 1947 à 1949, il enseigna à Travnik et, de 1949 à 1972, il fut, entre autres activités, professeur à l'École de musique de Banja Luka, avant d'en devenir le directeur. Le professeur Šajnović devint également le directeur de l'orchestre de la Ville.

Šajnović a écrit un livre intitulé "Muzički život u Banjoj Luci od austro-ugarske okupacije do drugog svjetskog rata (1878-1941) (« La Vie musicale à Banja Luka de l'occupation austro-hongroise à la Seconde guerre mondiale »).

'Investor Interest In Tech Is Exceptional' says HULT Private Capital
HULT Private Capital
Company Performance Under Review
Boutique City investment firm respond to latest UK tech acquisitions
That, to me, suggests this is exactly the buyout level investors should be looking at."
— John Hudson, HULT Private Capital
LONDON, ENGLAND, November 10, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The whisper of private equity acquisitions has not dulled in the slightest, with discussions of multi-million pound takeovers continuing well into the post-pandemic recovery on both sides of the Atlantic.
British software specialist, Blue Prism, has been in the sights of US investor, Vista, for a while but takeover plans appear to be at risk. Shareholders who hold a combined total of 30 percent of the tech firm are petitioning against the sale on the grounds of undervaluation. The shareholders have made it clear they believe had the company not been mismanaged, the bid from Vista would have stood far higher than the current £11.25 per share that was agreed in September.
John Hudson, senior investment advisor at HULT Private Capital and champion of private equity takeovers said 'Blue Prism has a precarious record when it comes to it's share price. Since going to market in 2016, we have seen it reach it's peak in September 2018, and now although it has lost more than 50% of that value, we are seeing it return to levels it has seemed most comfortable at over the years. That, to me, suggests this is exactly the buyout level investors should be looking at.'
There is no doubt why Blue Prism is an attractive acquisition; specializing in the computerised automation of processes, their software is the kind that most companies will need to turn to in order to keep up with the demands of a new world. The robotic streamlining of operational functions is key in increasing efficiency, decreasing operating costs and improving service performance.
It isn't just the acquisition of British companies that we are seeing at the moment. Nottingham based Ideagen PLC are growing at a rapid pace, confirming they have officially struck a £57.7 million deal to acquire a Sydney based technology company. The takeover of Australian compliance software provider, CompliSpace, is their biggest to date, with spectators detailing this as just another reason the UK is not to be overlooked in favour of Silicone Valley when it comes to tech.

Ambition of the Slimes (3DS)
Written by Benjamin Winter
Category: 3DS
Ambition of the Slimes
Developed By: Altairworks, Flyhigh Works
Published By: Circle Entertainment
Released: August 11, 2016 (3DS)
Available On: 3DS, Android, iOS, Vita
Genre: Strategy RPG
ESRB Rating: E10+ for Everyone 10 and Up (Fantasy Violence and Suggestive Themes)
Number of Players: 1
Thank you Circle for sending us a copy of the game to review!
In most RPGs there are creatures known as slimes. These enemies normally pose little, to no threat, and are only considered good for grinding levels early on. Ambition of the Slimes aims to change all that by putting the player in control of an army of slimes.
At the start of the game there is a nice and simple tutorial that teaches some of the basics to this strategy RPG. First off, battles take place on grid-based battlefields. Enemies and slimes can move a certain distance before performing an action, like attacking, or waiting and ending their turn. Secondly, slimes are very weak in battle, and though they can fight back they all have the unique ability to "claim" a human target. This happens when a slime comes into contact with said target. Selecting claim from the battle menu plays out a disturbing cutscene in which the enemy's head tilts back, and the slime attempts to slide down their throat. This is pretty terrifying the first few times it happens, but you'll quickly wish you could just skip it. Slimes may also have other abilities like warping anywhere on the map, while some may have higher success rates of claiming. Battles are won when either no humans remain, or only possessed humans and slimes are on the battlefield.
Strong Points: Surprisingly challenging; Cutesy graphics and well implemented 3D; Great twist on the SRPG genre.
Weak Points: Frustratingly difficult at times; Enemies crowd each other; Grammatical errors.
Moral Warnings: As with any RPG, there's a moderate level of fantasy violence; Slimes possess humans in a disturbing fashion; Some overly sexualized enemy sprites.
Before each stage is played you can choose which slimes to bring into battle. Each enemy and slime has an elemental affinity being water, fire, and earth. Water is strong against fire, but weak against earth, much like rock-paper-scissors. If your slime has the same element as a human you want to claim, and the claim is successful, that human will have increased attributes which is imperative to complete most stages. Most humans will have a 100% claim rate, but most maps will have at least one enemy with an incredibly low claim rate. When successfully claimed, these humans can completely turn a battle around for the slimes.
The biggest issue with claiming a human is that they are usually surrounded by other humans, and cannot move after being claimed. This results in that human being attacked upwards of four times, should they survive that long. The height of the battlefield will also come into play when maneuvering your characters. Should your character be on higher ground than its target while attacking, more damage will be inflicted to them and you take less damage. Unlike in other SRPGs, attacking an enemy with its back to you won't result in bonus damage.
Score Breakdown:
Higher is better
(10/10 is perfect)
Game Score - 80%
Gameplay - 15/20
Stability - 5/5
Controls - 5/5
Morality Score - 87%
Violence - 6.5/10
Language - 10/10
Sexual Content - 7/10
Occult/Supernatural - 10/10
Cultural/Moral/Ethical - 10/10
The retro graphics are very reminiscent of other games localized by Flyhigh Works, such as Witch & Hero and its sequel. They are very cute and the spritework for enemies and the slimes are detailed nicely. The battlefield itself can be rotated during battles and the 3D has been implemented very well. The music is nothing spectacular, and for the most part sounds like it's from Witch & Hero. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it instilled a sense of nostalgia in me hearing these simple chiptunes again.
As for moral warnings, it would be expected that there is a moderate amount of fantasy violence. That's not really the case for Ambition of the Slimes though, as battles are merely a static screen with sprites crashing into each other. I'm sure most players will be more terrified by the way the slimes possess their targets rather than the way battles unfold. Even after seeing the claiming process for 15 hours it's still disturbing to see them slide down enemy throats. Also worth mentioning are the rather sexually designed females enemies. Some are posed rather peculiarly, while others are more "top-heavy."
This is an excellent game for fans of the SRPG genre, though one shouldn't expect an exact ripoff of Final Fantasy Tactics. Aside from some grammatical inconsistencies and the high difficulty, there is a deep strategy game here. With patience and endurance, this title is sure to satisfy those that are seeking a challenge from their video games.

Weekly Bulletin 05/26/13
Dear Parishioners,
One of our goals as a parish community is to support one another in understanding and articulating what our faith is all about. None of us can do this adequately all on our own. However, when we share our experiences, we strengthen our chance to fully proclaim the mystery of our faith.
Every sacramental celebration gives us the opportunity to do this. During the Easter Season, twenty-three children celebrated the Sacrament of Eucharist for the first time. Over the course of a year, along with their families, they explored the ideas of belonging, serving, believing, reconciling, story-telling and celebrating. They spent many hours learning about their faith, participating in ministry experiences and paying special attention when they gathered with the parish community for liturgy. Now these children and their families would like to share what they have learned about their faith with you!
Next weekend, the Church observes the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. At St. Noel, we will celebrate with "Sharing the Mystery Weekend." At all Masses, our First Communion children will wear their communion attire and be part of the opening and closing processions. After Mass, they invite you to join them in the Banquet Center Small Hall so that they can share their story with you. Visit their tables, meet them and their families, view their scrapbooks, taste their traditional family breads, ask them questions, and even share a memory of your own first communion with them. Please take a few moments of your busy weekend to stop and talk to them…the children will appreciate the gift of your presence.
At St. Noel, we are inspired by these words: One Lord, One Faith, One Family. Let's celebrate this next weekend when we join as the Body of Christ and proclaim together the mystery of our faith!
Michele Baetzold

As we migrate towards an interconnected world, the need for privacy and protection of data grows exponentially. Today, we live in a world where terabytes of personal data are transferred seamlessly across continents; millions of confidential files are stored on cloud services, and access to such sensitive information lies at everyone's fingertips. Because of the importance and the ever increasing amounts of information that are constantly collected, shared, and stored, it is imperative that private and public entities understand and successfully implement data protection and privacy policies.
Years of legal experience combined with the expertise of attorneys from across the country places MDM&C in a unique position to advise organizations on data protection and security matters.
MDM&C's Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Privacy Group focuses on protecting sensitive personal and commercial data from external and internal threats.

In addition, our attorneys work with clients to develop and execute breach prevention and incident response plans and procedures. We also offer assistance with periodic training seminars regarding best practices in various areas including risk management, data protection, and compliance, tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences.
Data Security: In order to ensure and increase data security, attorneys in the Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Privacy Group perform comprehensive information and privacy management assessments for our clients. Our experts then provide recommendations, which can range from the adoption of unique policies and procedures to the implementation of certain programs and the creation of new positions within administrations.
Compliance: Through a wide variety of services, our attorneys ensure compliance with domestic and foreign regulations including, but not limited to, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, set to take effect in May 2018.
Risk Management: MDM&C's Cybersecurity, Data Protection and Privacy Group helps safeguard entities from internal breaches and decreases the likelihood of external threats through the implementation of strategic plans and periodic programs, in addition to unique workplace policies and procedures.

Incident response plans can include various proactive and reactive measures, which include reporting of the breach to appropriate government agencies, notifying affected individuals of the breach, and handling public relations moving forward.
We at MDM&C aim to assist our clients every step of the way, from compliance and data protection to data breach notification and dispute resolution.


Should You Opt For Cloud Hosting For Your Website?
If you're planning on creating a website for your business, then one of the first things you'll want to consider is where and how you host it.
All of the files that make up a website are stored (or hosted) on a web server. A web server is simply a computer that's part of a network and connected to the internet. When you type a URL into the address bar on your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer), or click a link on Google, your web browser needs to know what web page to show you. It does this by following the web address back to the web server, which in turn tells your browser the correct page to display and all of the files and images that go with it.
VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting where your website is hosted on a dedicated web server. This single server will be responsible for storing all of the files that make up your website and also handling and processing all of your website's traffic i.e. telling all of your visitor's browsers which pages to display.
The major floor with VPS hosting is that, should there ever be a problem with your server or when routine maintenance has to be carried out or should there be a security breach, then your site will be taken offline while any work is undertaken. If you run an ecommerce store, this can not only loose you sales, but also deter potential customers from returning.
You've probably heard the term 'Cloud' before, especially if you own an iPhone, as Apple's iCloud backup storage has helped edge the term closer to the mainstream. But, what is 'Cloud Hosting'?
Cloud Hosting is when your website is hosted on a variety of servers, each connected to each other. This group of servers work with each other, forming a virtual cloud.
Efficiency and Speed - with cloud hosting, your site is hosted by an amalgamation of servers, potentially across the world. This means that, rather than placing a large demand on one single server, the load is spread across each connected server. Therefore, if someone tries to load your website in Russia, they can load it from the server or group of servers closest to them. This means that your website loads faster, as no single server is under strain at any point.
Cost Benefits - you only pay for the bandwidth and space you actually use when you host in the cloud. If you're an SME looking to create your first website, you won't be using a lot of space or bandwidth initially, which makes cloud hosting more cost effective. Your hosting needs will grow with your website and business needs, meaning the cost would rise incrementally. Your business will scale simply and you'll never pay for server space that you don't need.
Running Time - with cloud hosting, there's typically a 99.9% uptime. This means that your website will never be offline while maintenance is carried out. This is because your website is effectively running on many servers. Therefore, when maintenance is carried out on one of the servers, another server or group of servers is employed to handle the traffic.
The phrase 'many hands make light work' is certainly true when it comes to web hosting and, even though Cloud Hosting is on the rise at the moment, not every hosting provider offers it right now.
All of our websites come equipped with cloud hosting, so you can get fast loading speeds and near 100% uptime at a reasonable cost by contacting us today.


Roulette is one of the most classic casino games in most online casinos, such as Spin and Win. The origin of roulette goes way back to the 18th century in France, where the word roulette means small wheel in French. This is one of the easiest game to understand and it is quite slow paced. The game is also the source of extra thrills and suspense as you have to wait for the ball to land in pocket.
J.W. who is still a newbie at Spin and Win Casino has recently won an incredible £9,000 while playing European Roulette. You may call it beginners luck or just plain luck, however it is really an exceptional feat that J.W. has been able to achieve on his first day on the site. J.W. who is from the county of Moray in Scotland is perhaps thrilled of his first fruitful experience at Spin and Win.
European roulette consists of a roulette wheel with numbered pockets consisting of 36 alternating red and black numbers and one green 0 (zero). On this variation of roulette, players can place their stake on the betting table on any single number, red or black, even or odd. Players may also bet on an entire column, a corner bet covering 4 numbers, a split bet of 2 numbers, the first 12 numbers, etc.
After choosing the bet of your taste, you may rock the house on European Roulette by hitting the 'Spin' button. The ball will spin clockwise on the roulette wheel spinning counter-clockwise. Once the ball loses momentum it will stop on one of the 37 pockets which sets the outcome. The two main categories of bets are Inside and Outside Bets. Inside Bets include straight up, Split, Street, Corner, and Line bets, whereas outside bet include Dozens, Column, Red or Black, Even or Odd, and Low & High bets.
Spin the wheel of Fortune with European Roulette, and who knows you could be the next winner to receive a windfall at Spin and Win Casino with odds ranging from 35:1 to 1:1!

The Novel: Update #1 + sneak peak!
Well, good morning! It's currently 5:44 am here in the land of Oz. Daughter is asleep in my bed after coming in last night and stealing all the blankets (she's so tiny, how does she do it?), traffic is roaring along Station Street ten metres from my open window, and I'm writing my novel. Feels good!
Yesterday morning, not so much. Didn't sleep from 2 am to 4:30 am, so my alarm got yelled at and turned off when it went off at 5! I still wrote nearly a thousand words after work, though.
No one heard it because no one was there. A whirring peppered with chattering clicks of circuitry, and a sensor rises from a machine shaped like a seed-pod. No one saw it — because no one was there — but the sensor spins quickly and silently around eighteen times and then seems to stop.
In fact, it has aligned with the brightest light source in the sky. It is turning agonisingly slowly following the sun like a flower, registering the length of the day, UV intensity, the length of the night — learning the habits of this alien sun.
At the same time, the pod has sprouted delicate tendrils downwards into the soil of the planet. Sensitive, flexible, faintly glowing digital vines, taking fine measurements of soil quality, water levels, and so on.
Other parts of the pod blink into life as the days pass. Registering gravity levels, temperature highs and lows, wind, weather patterns. There is surprisingly little to measure for some categories — not even a breeze, never a raindrop. Not that the machine is surprised.
This goes on for months. The pod looked, from the top of the nearest rise, like a distant campfire into which some magician or bored chemist threw compound after compound. That is, it would have looked that way if anyone had seen it. Sometimes it glows deep blue, at other times orange, sometimes blinding white. Sometimes it goes dark for hours at a time, consolidating and analysing data.
Finally, one night, the sensor atop the pod withdraws with a gentle bow and a sound like snapping branches heard across distance. The probing tendrils — which now spread for many kilometres around the pod in a complex root system — withdraw also, in perfect silence. The pod fades and finally disappears in blackness.
The intelligence within the machine, calculating that approximately a year has passed, feels confident enough to turn inward and do its true work. Armed with an intimate profile of its new home, the pod determines the ideal genetic profile for the creature lying frozen in its belly. There is not much to work with.
It is a grim prospect, but not an impossible task. And the planet is small, relatively level, easily navigable. Energy builds in the machine, a warm glow spreads inside it. As the creature inside feels the heat gently rise, it sends back signals to the pod — at first just faint electrical murmurings, then a slow barely-there heartbeat, the most minuscule of movements. The pod listens intently, adjusts heat up or down to soothe the signals into the desired patterns. Releases water and nutrients, in very small amounts, to hydrate the creature. Build enough strength in it to eventually learn movement.
This tender interplay continues for hours. A regular pulse is established, basic brain activity shows up in scans, and at last — when pulses nudge the right neurones — the creature can move. Weakly, slowly, with shaking, with what would be immense pain were it conscious, but it moves.
Now the pod turns its attentions deeper, far below the level of lungs and veins, musculature and skin, down below the cells, down to the roots of it all.
PS. That painting at the top is by Leonid Pasternak (1862-1945) and is called The Passion of Creation. Which is hilarious because the guy looks like he's just remembered that lucrative job offer he turned down to be a writer and is full of regret. Also, I found it googling 'tired writer' – I guess the internet doesn't recognise Pasternak's intent either.

Founded 2013 in Italy
Based in Milan
We spent over a year meticulously designing our first Velasca collection. Our shoes are hand-stitched using century-old traditions of fine Italian shoe-making. 'Quality First' means sourcing the best materials and putting craftsmanship back at the centre of the equation.
We've long had to choose between over-priced and over-marketed shoes that are no friend of your wallet, and low-quality, cheaply made shoes that are no friend of your feet. We knew there had to be a better way. So we created Velasca as a return to the basics: great shoes delivered directly to you at fair prices.

This book is well worth reading for anyone interested in MySQL internals. I learned a lot from it. It is well-written and understandable. I cannot say that I'm planning to write storage engines or more advanced plugins, but I have a great many ideas how to improve MySQL, and I now understand more clearly which of those are suitable to write as plugins, and of what type of plugin is appropriate. I also think I have a better idea how much work these various ideas might involve.
The book begins with an orientation to building plugins on various platforms. Next it covers user-defined functions (UDFs). I have written UDFs, but that's as far as I have gone with MySQL plugins. The rest of the book covers Daemon plugins, INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugins, full-text parser plugins, and storage engine plugins from basic to advanced. The last example is a nearly complete storage engine built on Tokyo Cabinet, with some pretty advanced functionality. It finishes with a quick overview of the types of plugins available in development and future versions of MySQL, and what's possible in MariaDB.
The examples are full code listings, with paragraphs of text alternating with a few lines of code. It's like reading a really well-commented C program, like reading InnoDB source, but with even more explanations. You can download everything you need to build and run the examples yourself—even the sample images used for demonstrating full-text search of EXIF data.
I enjoyed reading about what's possible in MariaDB. I had not kept up-to-date with the work that's being done there. If I were a storage engine developer, I'm sure I would appreciate what MariaDB has done. I would speculate that many of the people who've written in-house custom storage engines for their own businesses might find MariaDB interesting.
I think that anyone who is planning to modify the MySQL source code should read this book. It could save a lot of work and show easier ways to do things. I learned a lot about the MySQL source code that I have not gotten from other places. This one will go onto my list of essential books for MySQL users.


I am an owner of The Eclectic Chair studio salon and spa in Idaho Falls, ID. We are a co-operative business that offers nearly every service in the beauty industry, ranging from dreadlock work to mechanical face-lifting. My job within our team is to service the hair needs of the majority of our female clientele. I offer color and cutting services and am trained in various methods of hair extensions as well as dreadlocking and dreadlock extensions both synthetic and permanent.
As a stylist with an inbox full of questions from other salon professionals inquiring about the work I post to my social media and website, I would like to help other forthright stylists by sharing my knowledge and tricks of the trade, hoping to build a reputation as an independent educator in the field of hair and all things related.
As the daughter of a salon professional, I was exposed to the world of hair as a child. The ambitions I still have as a stylist began budding as a youngster and haven't strayed. Sure the salon biz can have it's difficulties and I would be lying if I said I never felt like giving up… But October 2017 marked 11 years for me as a stylist and my career is more than I ever dreamed it could be. I have a loyal clientele and a very supportive group of family and friends who have helped me accomplish every goal I have ever put into place for my business. As a 29 year old entrepreneur, I would have never guessed the success I worked tirelessly for would come at such a young age. What I crave now is growth, I believe the growth I am looking for is in education. I want to spread the ambition that was instilled in me, by extending knowledge to those who are looking for their place in the hair world.
You will find samples of my portfolio under the appropriate tabs on the website.
The demonstration and education I offer is various, and compensation would depend upon interest and the detail of what you would have me teach. Retail, subcontracting, client relations, as well as media marketing are also a strong suit for me and are an important part of growth to any business. If you are interested in demonstrations or education of any kind, please contact me in the form best suited to you.

If you visit the Harris Dems' primary candidate listing, one will see that incumbent County Chair Lane Lewis is now unopposed. Recent At-Large 5 candidate Philippe Nassif's nascent candidacy for County Chair has been declared ineligible for the Democratic Primary.
According to state law, a candidate for county chair must collect the signatures on a petition of 10% of the party's incumbent precinct chairs. According to the Party, that number would then be 48. According to folks inside the Party, Nassif did not meet the required number.
Although the decision of eligibility on all candidate applications was left to Chairman Lewis, Lewis went further and sought the opinion of an election law counsel and of the Democratic Party Primary Committee, who also agreed with the result.
Even as I accept the decision, I was very disappointed to receive this news. The signature process is a precise one and requires 48 legible signatures from current precinct chairs. It also requires that none of these chairs sign more than one petition for a single race, yet some had forgotten they had signed Lane Lewis' petition during the summer.
Here in Harris County, our democracy has been dealt a setback. The process to challenge a sitting party chair is convoluted and flawed, and the number of signatures I received displayed a level of anxiety with our party leadership that needs to be addressed immediately. My challenge of Lane Lewis's chairmanship was never personal, but it was meant to send a strong message that change is needed in order for our party to start growing again and winning big.
That message has been sent.
Convoluted and flawed? Sure, but it's also allowed by state law. How to change that? Talk about convoluted and flawed!
Anyway, Nassif isn't done serving the party and Democrats and will be of service. As I told a friend of mine who I had been advising on a possible run, you don't have to be a candidate or an elected official to be of service. There's always fundraising for candidates and causes, or, I don't know, doing every we can to increase voter turnout.

How does a challenger find current Precinct Chairs to sign a petition when HCDP does not publish the names or contact info for these public servants? Even the names of those Precinct Chairs appointed at CEC meetings are not published in the meeting minutes.
Also, the Primary Committee Chair is hardly an independent opinion because the County Chair himself appoints that position. Democracy indeed.
Every body should be aware that this requirement for 10% of the Precinct Chairs to sign a petition came from the Harris County problem of a Lyndon LaRouche supporter being elected years back. This was the "stop gap" to keep off the wall crazy people from taking over the Party because they had a nice sounding ballot name.
Thanks for the history, Glen!

View Full Version : Redwood Forest near San Francisco?
Bay area/San Francisco is relativly a dry area, I think it only gets 20 inches of rain. My question is how come there is huge Redwood forest near San Francisco then? and why San Fran in general is green?
Varun R
The redwoods are supported by the marine fog.
are you sure, how?
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fog-that-nourishes-california-redwoods-declining/
digital_noise
Its incredibly foggy here in the Bay Area, more so in actual San Francisco and Marin Co. The ocean is right there and inland it gets very warm so that creates a perfect storm for fog, but in general its foggy until about 12:00-13:00 and then it burns off
so moisture from fog actually gives life to these huge trees? is the same true for Redwoods in North West California? that area gets much more rain.
Yes. I cannot say how it works exactly but I can say that at times the fog is so thick up there that it seems like it's raining. It's very moist despite the overall area being relatively dry
Revmac
Yes it's it's true even in the west.
Like Mark Twain said; "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."
The topography of CA is really the reason. South of SF and inland of SF the temperature gets quite high because of the Central Valley and then the valleys east of the Sierra Nevada. It acts as a heat-sink drawing warmer air from all around and making most costal areas cooler as a result. Also, the Sierra Nevada range is the tallest in the contiguous US—and it is right next to the largest ocean on the planet. So that draws moisture (to coastal areas) and really makes the inland more dry than the coast.
I actually used to work at a Redwood tree nursery.
Also, the Redwoods themselves are full of symbiotic relationships. They coexist with ferns, moss, fungi, etc.. All of these organisms absorb tons of moisture from the naturally occurring fog and benefit the trees.
Here is what I read about your question:
Thick fogs are a daily occurrence on the coast, where the California sequoia lives, and we can say that it not only grows in such conditions, but literally needs these fogs. These hundred meter giants get moisture from there for their needles on the top, where the system of vessels can no longer pump it. The average temperature of 10-15°C, which prevails in this area, is also important for the life cycle of the sequoi. These two conditions - temperature and humidity - are the limiters that define the modern range of these amazing giants.
Tangentially related, but the pygmy forests up in Northern California might interest you too. These areas have very nutrient-poor, acidic soil with bad drainage, so pine trees that normally reach 80 ft tall when they're 100 are stunted and only 8 ft tall at a century old. If you didn't know what the area was it would just look like a patch of forest with young trees (https://hejdoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/hej-doll-mendocino-mama-trip-pygmy-forest-1.jpg), but they're actually much older than they look and just unable to grow very quickly due to their soil environment.
If you ever make it out here I recommend checking out the redwood forests (and the Van Damme pygmy forest) for sure.

We Watch it for the Music | Grind
Hayden Harris
Unknown, underrated (frankly, IMDb can fall off a bridge for this rating), and full of heart are apt descriptions of both the characters in Grind and the film itself.
Grind centers on a group of unlikely friends, whose only similarities are their misfit statuses, impressive dancing abilities, and their remarkable talent for skating. Including Eric Rivers (Mike Vogel), Dustin Knight (Adam Brody), Matt Jensen (Vince Vieluf), and Sweet Lou (Joey Kern), the group—but mostly Eric—decides that the best way to spend the summer after their high school graduation is to dump what little savings they have into a cross country journey with one goal: Get sponsored for skating.
While apparently I'm weird for ranking this film as one of my all-time favorites, the quality of its soundtrack isn't up for debate. Not only was it released in 2003 and, therefore, during one of the greatest eras of music in history, but it centers around a group of teenage skaters. And if the skating scene had one thing going for it, it was the music. Grind capitalizes on these strengths perfectly and delivers a fantastic and appropriate soundtrack. Below are my four favorites from the film.
Poison – Nothin' But A Good Time
Up to this point in this point in the movie, the group has encountered failure after failure, quickly spending the modicum of money they have, and losing hope that they will ever capture the attention of the renowned skater Jimmy Wilson. Matt and Dustin begin releasing their frustrations in an argument about the music playing in the van. As their argument becomes more heated and physical, Sweet Lou calmly loads a Poison CD in the van's player, and "Nothin' But A Good Time" by Poison immediately plays.
The lyrics "Not a dime, I can't pay my rent / I can barely make it through the week" burst through the speakers as the skeptical skaters start nodding their heads to the beat. By the time the first chorus hits, the group enthusiastically joins in, belting out, "Don't need nothin', but a good time / How can I resist?" As the guitar solo wails, the friends throw open the van door the show the world their air guitar expertise, much to the shock and disgruntlement of a passing elderly woman.
Not only does the song introduce us to this snazzy headbang, it perfectly sums up the group's situation. Despite all their misfortunes, they are still spending an entire summer with their best friends in the world, traveling across the United States, and of course, skating. It reminds us as the audience that we "don't need nothin' but a good time".
Billy Talent – Line and Sinker
https://youtu.be/K52xSaAcRyo
Billy Talent was my favorite band for a few years, so not only is it awesome to hear one of their best songs in one of my favorite movies, the song itself adequately fits Grind's atmosphere.
The underdog theme of Billy Talent's lyrics is very suiting for the oddball group, e.g. "Today I don't feel pretty / And I'm tired of trying to fit right in / Don't think they're just so great / 'Cause being great must suck". The barely controlled chaos of the song's chorus creates the perfect overtone for their skating. Ben Kowalewicz's frantic screaming followed by the band's excited gang vocals are a wonderful compliment for the boards scorching over concrete and asphalt, and skimming down steel rails.
Unwritten Law – Seein' Red
https://youtu.be/Tq-T49MqRiQ
Fast forward to nearly the climax of the movie and our heroes have finally caught a break. Fortuitously, and thanks to Eric's looks and boyish charm, the group made a connection with someone who could finally get them skating in an event. Nervously, the group walks to the ramps as the first verse of "Seein' Red" plays. The haunting melody conveys every bit of nerves and anxiety each member feels as they walk towards their one shot at fame and sponsorship.
As the song launches into its powerful hook, smiles spread across characters' faces because they're finally walking towards their one shot at fame and sponsorship. Unwritten Law continues to play motivation as each skater leaves everything he has on the ramps, rails, and pavement. As the group finishes their run, the final chorus powers through, confirming members' successes and of the individual happiness of the group and their loved ones.
P.O.D. – Boom
Yes, the song that every varsity athletics team in the nation has put on a warm-up CD at some point in the past thirteen years makes an appearance in this film. And it does it in the best way possible.
After their successful demo at the park, Eric is almost immediately challenged to a skate-off by the leader of a rival group. The two take their quarrel to the half-pipe as the P.O.D.'s chunky guitar riffs begin playing in the background. P.O.D. taunts both skaters do and risk more, even as they complete unbelievable tricks.
The song fades out as sweat drips down Eric's face, and he contemplates his final run. Exhausted, nervous, and with all of his friends watching, Eric rides his board down the halfpipe as P.O.D. roars back to life just in time for Eric's veritable "boom" of the match.
"Boom" by P.O.D. can be used in a myriad of contexts, but very few of them are as purely epic as a skate-off. So we can all thank Grind for giving us that, at least.
