...and so much more!!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
This is Cash living up to one of his nicknames.
Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Roger came to visit this last weekend and meet Cash for the first time. We enjoyed getting to spend some time together and Cash especially enjoyed all the attention! As has been the accidental tradition for Mick and I the past four years, we celebrated an early Thanksgiving on Sunday and feasted on turkey, mashed potatoes and even pumpkin pie.
Our boy is two months old already and with that comes the dreaded first shots (note the blue camo band-aids). Cash handled it like a champ, but mommy cried like a baby. The poor little guy did have a rough afternoon, but by evening, he was alert and ready to meet Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Roger.
Cash is now over 13 pounds, 24 inches long and right around the 70th percentile for both.
"Let's make sure he's changed/fed/burped/content before we leave so he hopefully sleeps through the service." "So you're saying that I don't have time to wipe the spit-up out of my hair?"
The catnap in the car means that Cash is wide awake just as soon as the worship begins. Attempts at worship are interrupted by rapid fire thoughts: "Wow, he's actually content in his car seat. How long is that going to last?" "I just know he's about to lose it." "What if someone tries to steal my baby?" (Head check to make sure his car seat is still on the pew) "Oh great, no wonder he's content; he's pooping."
And then the fussing begins...Which leaves us wondering just how much fussing is exceptable before you're expected to make a speedy exit? Should we dart at the first whimper or wait until a more forceful cry is sounded? I bolted pretty quickly and enjoyed the rest of the service nursing Cash in the bathroom, and since I could still hear the worship, I sang along from my place of exile.
One more thing. Cash spent his first night in his nursery last night. He did great and it was so nice to have Mick and Bella back in our room instead out on the couch. Hopefully the next step is sleeping through the night. Ah, a girl can dream!


Whamcloud Shining Oracle's Open Source Lustre - InternetNews.
Oracle may have a less than perfect rapport with some members of the open source community, with forks under way in two projects that it acquired through the Sun purchase, but it's a different story with the filesystem Lustre.
According to Whamcloud, a startup focused on developing Lustre, Oracle is supportive of its efforts. Indeed, many former employees of the database giant now work with Whamcloud, and collaborate with their former colleagues.
Whamcloud's contribution to the Lustre project are far-ranging, and include active development of solid-state SSD storage technology, and a collaboration with two national laboratories to power some of the fastest supercomputers in the world. Datamation takes a look.
The filesystem of choice for many of the top 500 supercomputers is the open source Lustre filesystem. Lustre started off as a Sun Microsystems effort and is now under the stewardship of Oracle. Though Oracle is the leader of the Lustre open source project, other vendors also participate in Lustre development. One such vendor is startup Whamcloud.
Oracle has had somewhat mixed success with its leadership of open source efforts that it acquired from Sun, with forks of OpenSolaris and OpenOffice now in progress. According to Whamcloud, with Lustre Oracle is playing nice with its open source community as development work continues to move the project forward.


A programme of intensive learning sessions, the teams supported by staff, mentors and coaches and the Foundation's network, with access to up to £150k of social investment – a model for non-residential Accelerators.
Most Accelerators have so far been residential, but the more these programmes move up the value chain, the more widely spread are the established businesses likely to be in any cohort. This is a model for such programmes in the way it brings the teams together for repeated periods of intensive development work, and with the option of using a communal space; and in the way it attaches to each team mentors in key roles.
The 'Young Academy' is an initiative by the Young Foundation ('YF') which has a long and enviable record in supporting social ventures, this one in pioneering the development of innovations in education under the aegis of Round 2 of the Cabinet Office's Social Incubator Fund.
Its third cohort of the programme about to launch – for around ten to fifteen early-stage ventures all of whose projects are focused on reducing inequality in education. The previous two cohorts have worked with 17 projects, including one working to better enable access to employment and another to reinvigorate the careers advice available in schools. All but one of the ventures from the two earlier cohorts are surviving and thus contributing in various degrees to this objective – in terms of impact, extent and reach. The objective is to get these ventures up to a level where they are reliably revenue-generating; with a strong emphasis on rapid proto-typing and testing eg in a school.
Like YF's earlier programmes, this one – a 6-month programme starting in late May – brings participants together regularly for (mostly) two days every two weeks at the Young Foundation offices in Bethnal Green, London – for two day-long learning sessions at a time. Of the 12 learning sessions (through May, June and July), the first 6 include the mapping of the target audience and understanding the winning of work (with commissioners, buyers and funders). The second 6 are more about turning things into reality. August is expected to be for refining and testing, including project management, future finance and pitching; and the teams will come together for Demo Day in September.
The programme provides monthly 'Check-ins' (progress meetings with two YF staff), a 'strategic mentor' (in loco chair of trustees) whom they will meet on average for half-an-hour a week, and a 'coach', (in loco chief financial officer, and hands on supporter of financial skills) whom they will meet on average for 2 hours a week, and access to YF's invaluable array of contacts (and there is a mentor pool of 30 or 40 people). Like other YF programmes, it is non-residential, but unlike other programmes, though like many other Accelerators, there is now a common working space available to participants.
YF expect most of the 50 or so candidate teams will be around 1-2 years old, perhaps already have a small turn-over and have couple of members in the team, but there will be a wide range.
This ongoing YF programme is funded by £1.5mn from the Cabinet Office's Social Incubator Fund, formally evaluated by New Philanthropy Capital, and match funded by UBS, by Bank of America, and by the Esmee Fairbairn Charitable Foundation.
Other similar YF venture support projects include The People's Accelerator – which aims to support campaigns for social justice to become sustainable (the recent pilot was funded by Citizens UK and The Centre for Justice Innovation), 'Transition' – a series of workshops for a wide range of social innovation projects funded by EU; and a project to develop socially sustainable cities.

By Dom Serafini. At the outset let me be perfectly clear: Italian-American ethnic slurs don't bother me. First of all, I'm proud of what many believe is a slur –– "WOP" often written as "W.O.P." or Work Out of Passage.
I'm sure that some of my relatives who were unable to pay for the trans-Atlantic voyage, were resourceful enough to exchange the ship fare for working onboard, and were not ashamed to wear that tag.
Secondly, I'm proud that Italian culture –– music, visual arts, food, fashion, architecture, education, furniture, literature, cars, cinema and natural attractions –– is popular everywhere.
Thirdly, I'm proud that Hollywood makes money with all that is Italian. Let's face it, Italians are amusing, entertaining, fun to be with, unique and very charismatic. It's only normal that Hollywood would be exploiting all these features. I cannot picture Hollywood making money exploiting Canadians, Germans, Russians or even the French.
Naturally, Hollywood also loves drama and there is nothing more dramatic that the Mafia world. Movies about the malfeasances of the CIA or Wall Street could come only in second and third.
Now, should I be offended by Mafia subjects in movies or TV shows? Of course not! After all it's a part of Italian life, albeit the dark side of Italian life.
I feel that I'm mature enough to withstand this kind of portrayal, like Germans are unconcerned how Hollywood depicts them, especially in WWII movies (their dark side), or British and Russian are always being the bad guys.
Recently, in the United States (but not in Italy), a controversy erupted over the depiction of "guido" as a type of an Italian-American male ("guidette" is the female version). While some people were offended by this portrayal, I'm not. Why? Because I'm not a "guido". Would I be offended if I were to be called "Mafioso?" Of course not. Once again because I'm not. Would I be offended if I were to called fat? But I'm not, so why should I?
"Guido" is an expression popularized in 1978 by Saturday Night Live by the character of Father Guido Sarducci, a priest who liked to smoke and wear chains around his neck. Recently, "guidos" and "guidette" became the subject of Jersey Shore, a reality series on MTV. Did I watch the show? Not really. I prefer watching Antique Road Show or C-Span. Does it upset me knowing that MTV makes fun of a bunch of tattooed, chain-smoking, unsophisticated Italian-Americans with heavy gold necklaces visible from their open shirts? Of course not! They're light-years away from the real Italian-Americans and have nothing to do with me. However, the fact that some Italian-Americans have the need to defend the image of a "guido" is a bit troublesome. What are these Italian-Americans defending? The guidos loves being guidos and Hollywood is, once again, monetizing the fact that they're part of the Italian-American spectrum. After all, Italians are amusing at any socio-economical level and Hollywood is smart enough to recognize it.
WOP=Work out of Passage? Since when? Where did you get that information? It used to be that people thought WOP meant "Without Papers," which has since been debunked. There was no such phrase. It is now generally accepted that WOP was from the way Americans heard Neapolitan men greeting one another, Ciao, guappo! So, please, do cite some document that would suggest your work out of passage definition. I'm curious... Thanks.

FORT PIERCE — Police Chief Diane Hobley-Burney on Saturday denied accusations she ordered investigations of City Commissioner Reggie Sessions and city critic Rick Reed.
Sessions and Reed had pushed for a Justice Department investigation into the police-involved April 23 fatal shooting of Demarcus Semer.
'I have not asked for an investigation of any citizen regarding Demarcus Semer. I would never do such a thing,' Hobley-Burney said Saturday evening. 'I am being judged. I am asking for citizens to please be patient and wait until the conclusion of the investigation before they judge.'
City Manager Nick Mimms placed Hobley-Burney on administrative leave on July 5, days after the City Commission was told she had ordered the investigations of Sessions and Reed.
Hobley-Burney said she wants an unbiased and independent investigation into the accusations made against her, and then the 'truth will be revealed.'
'If there's corruption in the city, I'm sure citizens would want it to be investigated,' Hobley-Burney said.
Police Special Investigator Borthland Murray wrote a memo to the commission July 1 that stated Hobley-Burney mismanaged the department, misused her official position, selectively enforced rules and mishandled the department's accreditation process.
'I'm hurt by the person who made the allegations toward me. I considered him an officer and friend,' Hobley-Burney said. 'I'm not angry. My God would not allow me to be angry about this.'

Chinese tourists to Yellowknife eclipse Japanese
The Yellowknife Visitors Centre reports that visitors from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have begun to overtake Japanese tourists in Yellowknife, the result of a trend that goes back to 2010.
Chinese tourism to Canada has skyrocketed since 2010
Jimmy Thomson · CBC News · Posted: Sep 27, 2016 6:30 AM CT | Last Updated: September 27, 2016

Bilingual menus in Yellowknife are frequently written in English and Japanese, but that may not be the case in the future, according to Yellowknife's Northern Frontiers Visitors Centre.
Numbers from the past few seasons point to an explosion of tourism generally, but growth has come especially from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"It's one of the fastest growing tourism markets in the world, and it's something that has had a particular impact on Yellowknife where we are such an appreciated destination among east Asian markets in general," says Elijah Forget, communications director at the visitors centre.
China added Canada to its "approved destinations" list in 2010, meaning that trips became significantly easier. That led to an immediate boom in visitors.
Canada-wide, tourism from China in July was up 23.6 per cent compared to July 2015, continuing a trend that has been steady since 2010.
Forget says this chimes with what he has seen here, where last year for the first time Chinese visitors outnumbered those from Japan.
That has had consequences for the tourism industry. Tour companies have begun hiring Cantonese and Mandarin speakers, and Chinese-focused operations have launched as well.

Areas not as directly tied to the aurora have also benefited.
While Japanese tourists tend to buy multiple small items like dried morels and tea as gifts for their whole offices, Chinese tourists have opted for fewer, big-ticket items, says Forget.
Gone with the (solar) wind
Forget suspects, however, that the boom may be about to wane with the aurora. The 11-year cycle of solar activity that dictates the intensity of the northern lights is entering its downward period, and won't rebound until the early 2020s.
"This is not something that the visitors are not aware of, and what we could be seeing is visitors sneaking in before it gets not as good," says Forget.
Japanese tourists in particular are known for their affinity for the aurora, although Forget says Chinese tourists also express interest in northern lights tours.
"Pretty much everyone coming in our fall and winter season, the vast majority, are here for the aurora."
Cycles being cycles, however, the intensity of the northern lights will eventually return, says Forget. So even if tourism slows down temporarily it would likely rebound when the lights return to the sky in earnest.
Wild N.W.T. ingredients could feed culinary tourism, says Yellowknife foodie

Ohio Counties Close Polling Places to Save Funds, Adapt to Changing Voter Habits
By Doug Chapin September 20, 2013
[Image courtesy of topgearhobbies]
A recent story in the Columbus Dispatch addresses an issue that you can expect to see all over the country in the coming years – polling place closures:
The head of the Licking County Board of Elections knows she's in for a bumpy November after nearly half of the county's voting locations were eliminated.
"People are going to be upset, and I understand that," said Director Sue Penick. "But we're playing with their money and trying to ultimately be fiscally responsible with it. Hopefully, we've done that."
Most central Ohio counties have streamlined their precincts in recent years, and Licking County became the latest by announcing on Tuesday that it is eliminating 30 precincts and more than 20 polling locations. The move is expected to save about $20,000.
Licking County will go from 125 precincts to 95, and consolidate 47 voting locations into 24 or 26 for the November election. The impetus, besides cost-cutting, was efficiency, Penick said. Seven precincts that served villages with fewer than 200 voters were consolidated into locations that now will serve a village/township split.
Penick said the streamlining will affect between 65,000 and 70,000 voters, or more than 60 percent of those registered. Those affected will be notified of the changes by mail in the coming weeks.
The changes not only reflect fiscal pressures but also changes in the way voters cast their ballots:
Changes in election law in the past five to 10 years have allowed counties to cut costs without, in theory, cutting efficiency.
More than 30 percent of Ohio voters submitted absentee ballots, for example, in November's general election.
"While we all work for the secretary of state, we have a huge commitment to the county that funds us," said Susan Bloom, director of the Fairfield County Board of Elections.
Fairfield County eliminated 20 precincts early last year, and Bloom said she'll look at cutting or consolidating again after November's election.
Some changes are associated with space considerations:
Franklin County will cut 12 polling locations through consolidation for the upcoming election, forcing about 28,000 voters to new sites. Some private owners of previous polling locations no longer wanted to host voting, while other sites needed repairs to become compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, said spokesman Ben Piscitelli.
Thompson Recreation Center, on Dennison Ave., where nearly 5,900 voters were registered for the 2012 general election, is being remodeled.
In most counties, these closures aren't straight cuts, but rather a re-allocation of resources – but the county is still expecting an adjustment period:
Penick said the cost-cutting in Licking County will help pay for updated technology, including last year's purchase of 105 electronic poll books and this year's accompanying drivers-license scanners, which will help speed up the voting process.
"We'll have some issues this first time, I know that," Penick said. "That's why we did it in an off-year election. But I truly believe that, ultimately, this will cut voting time, not add to it."
You can expect lots of stories like this in the foreseeable future as counties balance their commitment to voters with legal changes and fiscal pressures. It will be interesting to see how it works out in Ohio – and elsewhere.

Padma () is one of the four attributes borne by Vishnu in his iconography. It is associated with Vishnu's abode upon water, as well as his role in creation and birth.

Mythology
In the Vishnu Purana, in the beginning of time, Brahma is described to have been created within a lotus blooming from the navel of Vishnu. The padma is hence prominent in the Vaishnava narrative of cosmogony, where Brahma is instructed by Vishnu to start generating the universe and the rest of creation. The lotus is regarded to be a representation of dharma, the cosmic law, as well the epitome of purity, as it rose beneath the impure seabed towards the sun.

During the Samudra Manthanam, when Lakshmi chooses Vishnu as her eternal consort, she throws a garland of lotuses around his neck, and is also eulogised as the lotus-faced one.

In the legend of the Gajendra Moksham, the elephant Gajendra holds a lotus as an offering to Vishnu as he arrives to save his devotee from a crocodile.

The realm of Krishna, Goloka, is evoked as Vrindavana upon the earth, portrayed in the form of a lotus.

Vishnu is generally depicted as holding the lotus in his lower left hand, while his consort Lakshmi holds one in her right hand, and the goddess is also usually portrayed as sitting on the flower.

A Shaiva myth describes Vishnu's worship of Shiva with 1008 lotus flowers, offering one for each of his epithets. In order to test him, Shiva removed one lotus from the bunch so that Vishnu would be one short and the puja would be incomplete. However, the omniscient Vishnu merely plucked one of his lotus eyes, placing it upon the lingam. Pleased, Shiva presents him with the Sudarshana Chakra.

Symbolism

It is believed that Vishnu's association of the lotus is derived from the flower's presence in the symbolism of his consort, Lakshmi, for whom it represented water and fertility. Sculptures of Vishnu bearing a lotus are dated back to the fifth or the sixth century, presenting him with the epithets Padmanabha (the one with the lotus-navel), Pundarikaksha (lotus-eyed), and Padmapani (lotus-handed). Icons of Narasimha with a lotus growing out of the deity's head have been dated back to the mid-sixth century. On one level, the conch and lotus in Vishnu's hands signify his association with the waters as both a fertilising agent and a cosmic symbol. The conch and the lotus are among the most auspicious symbols, and by themselves are often painted on either side of the entrance to a domestic building. The lotus also symbolises the earth and is even said to contain the universe, and hence it is especially appropriate as an emblem for the divine preserver of the universe. The Vishnudharmottara specifically states that the lotus emerging from Vishnu's navel symbolises the earth, while the stalk represents the cosmic mountain, Meru, the axis of the universe. In Vishnu's hand, it symbolises water, and in Lakshmi's hand, wealth. A piece of the Varaha avatar of Vishnu and his consort Bhudevi has also been discovered dating back to the third century. Bhudevi herself stands upon a lotus, while Varaha holds a lotus bud with his left hand to represent his effortless act of holding the earth.

Literature
Vaishnava hymns often reference the padma as an attribute of Vishnu or Narayana, offering allusions to his lotus-feet, lotus-eyes, lotus-navel, and lotus-throat.

The Padma Purana is one of the eighteen major Puranas that is named after the attribute of Vishnu, and contains large sections dedicated to his praise.

Bail Conditions For Arrested Australian Activists Demand The Impossible: No Using Encrypted Applications
in Apps And Softwares, Articles
from the encryption-in-the-land-down-under dept
The Australian government doesn't care much for encryption. It has, for years, tried to legislate encryption out of the picture. A law passed in 2018 gives the government the power to compel encryption-breaking efforts from tech companies.
The law survived a cursory review by the Parliamentary Joint Committee. Its 2021 report said the law was completely legal. And, even though it found oversight of the new encryption-breaking powers was inadequate, the law was a good thing for the government. Very little was said about the people affected by the law or the tech companies being forced to make their offerings less secure in Australia.
As Australian law enforcement sees it, the only people who actually need encrypted services and devices are criminals. And that's why suspected criminals (who have only been accused of crimes at this point) are being forced to give up their access to encrypted services, as Ariel Bogle reports for ABC (the Australian one) News.
Since late June, Greg Rolles must produce on demand his computer and mobile phone for police inspection, and tell them his passwords.
He is not allowed to use any encrypted messaging apps, like Signal or WhatsApp. He can only have one mobile phone.
And there is a list of 38 people, many of whom are his friends, who he's not allowed to associate with in any way — even, another activist found, liking a post on social media.
Rolles is allegedly a member of activist group Blockade Australia. The group has been known to engage in highly disruptive protests. Those often involve immobilizing vehicles and equipment. And there have allegedly been incidents where police officers (or at least the vehicles they're in) have been attacked.
Thanks to a new anti-protest law, the government is able to treat even more innocuous protests in a heavy-handed manner. As this post detailing Blockade and its interaction with the new law notes, some members are being hit with 10-year prison sentences. Others have been arrested for vague violations like "planning to block traffic."
The bail conditions are equally heavy-handed. As noted above, arrested Blockade members have been forbidden from using encrypted messaging apps or associating with each other. One member found themselves in violation of their bail conditions simply for sending a "thumbs up" emoji in response to a Facebook post by another member. (Bail violation charges were ultimately dropped for this action, but it still involved the person being accosted by police, detained, and booked.)
The restrictions imposed on Rolle have cut him off from the Afghanistan residents his church was providing assistance to. They communicated via WhatsApp, which is no longer an option for Rolle.
But it's not just WhatsApp and Signal. Plenty of apps (and internet services) utilize encryption. And the bail terms are vague enough it could prevent Rolle and others like him from living somewhat normal lives while out on bail.
Large swathes of the internet are encrypted, which simply means that information is converted into code to protect it from unwanted access. Apps from online banking to streaming services are typically encrypted.
"Encryption is everywhere because it's a fundamental part of keeping modern communications technology secure and functional," a spokesperson for Electronic Frontiers Australia said.
"[That includes] essentially any modern device, including laptops, mobile phones, ATMs, TVs, PlayStations, and government websites such as myGov, Medicare, and Centrelink."
The bail conditions forbid arrestees (who are only accused of crimes at this point) from "possessing an encrypted application/media application." That covers a lot of ground, especially since so many sites providing services from banking to streaming to news delivery prefer to route users through proprietary apps — apps that generally utilize encryption in one form or another.
Even those who feel the courts' hearts are in the right place — attempting to prevent the planning of future protests that may be disruptive and/or turn violent — feel these conditions go too far. The head attorney at the Shopfront Youth Legal Centre (Jane Sanders) stated this imposed a possibly unlawful restriction on the rights of people who've only been accused of criminal activity.
"To effectively shut down the right to political communication with these conditions, it seems extreme to me," Ms Sanders said.
Well, as they say, the extremity is the point. The government has already deemed encryption to a tool of criminals and terrorists. The passage of a law increasing punishments for protest-related activity was meant to deter dissent. These new bail conditions drive it home: speak up against the government and/or its favored corporations and you can expect to have your life derailed, your communications severely restricted, and your freedom while bailed eliminated at a moment's notice.

"Violet" is a song by Seal. "Violet" was released as the fifth and final single from his debut album Seal – although the version on the single is actually an acoustic, live version, recorded (among five other tracks from the album) for inclusion on the video version of the album. The acoustic version is a simple arrangement, half the length of the original version.

The video, also titled Seal, opens with the six-track live segment (which was also released as a promo CD "The Acoustic Session" in the US) and is followed by promo video clips of the first four singles taken from the album.

The random dialogue that appears in the song is from the 1987 movie "The Sicilian" which Seal watched & became inspired by, & was the reason why this song was written.

Antonio Palacios Ramilo, né le  au Porriño (Galice) et mort le  à Madrid est un architecte éclectique espagnol connu pour ses ouvrages monumentaux de la première moitié du , essentiellement à Madrid et en Galice.

Biographie
Son père, madrilène d'origine galicienne, venu travailler en Galice s'y est marié et installé au Porriño. Antonio, né le , est le dernier de sept enfants.

Il fait des études d'architecte à l'École technique supérieure d'architecture de Madrid (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, depuis intégrée à Université Polytechnique de Madrid, université fondée en 1971).

En 1900, ses études d'architecture terminées, il s'associe avec Joaquín Otamendi (1874-1960) et ils obtiennent en 1904 le concours pour la construction de l'hôtel des postes et télégraphes (Casa de Correos y Telégrafos), le Palais des communications. Sa collaboration avec l'architecte basque Joaquín Otamendi se poursuivra jusqu'en 1918. Palacios est l'architecte responsable de l'élaboration des intérieurs des premières stations du Métro de Madrid, organisant les accès et l'esthétique des premières lignes, dont son logotype ovale.

Son galléguisme est un attachement à la Galice qui ne trouve pas d'expression politique, mais est une volonté artistique identitaire pour les projets d'urbanisme et architecturaux de sa terre natale.

By Lidia S. Bernik, M.H.S., C.P.H., Associate Project Director, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Each year, over 30,000 individuals die by suicide in the United States, but many more make a suicide attempt, plan their suicide or seriously struggle with suicidal thoughts. Fortunately, those who are struggling have access to free and confidential life-saving services at any time of day or night. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (the Lifeline) is a national, 24-hour, toll-free suicide prevention service comprised of 150 independently operated crisis centers across the nation. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Lifeline network enables individuals calling 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to be routed to their closest crisis center.
In 2007, evaluation studies of crisis hotlines, which were sponsored by SAMHSA and employed monitoring of hotline calls and follow-up calls, demonstrated the vital role that hotlines play in helping those in need. These groundbreaking studies, which were conducted by highly respected suicide prevention researchers Drs. Madelyn Gould, John Kalafat and Brian Mishara found that people in crisis (both emotional and suicidal) did in fact call hotlines and that they experienced significant reductions in emotional distress and suicidality during the call and further reductions in emotional distress upon follow-up. Most notably, when suicidal callers were asked during follow-up what was most helpful about calling the hotline, 12% indicated that the call to the hotline had saved their life.
Crisis hotlines offer a number of benefits, including:
24-hour access to trained counselors that can offer supportive counseling and assessment
Immediate life-saving assistance to individuals in acute suicidal crisis who are unable or unwilling to obtain other help
Easy linkage to an array of local services for emotionally distressed callers either before a suicidal crisis occurs or during a suicidal crisis
Expertise in community suicide prevention education & training
Hotlines are especially helpful in rural areas or communities where there is limited access to mental health services. They also offer a very economical way of reaching a very large population – a characteristic that is particularly salient for states/communities with limited funding available for suicide prevention and/or mental health services. Additionally, hotlines can help reduce costs by:
Helping decrease unnecessary visits to emergency rooms and inappropriate calls to law enforcement
Efficiently linking callers in need to appropriate services
Counseling, supporting and assessing a large number of consumers for a fraction of the cost that it would take to provide these services in person
Since its launch in 2005, the Lifeline network has answered over 2 million calls from individuals in crisis across the United States. Overall, Lifeline centers answer over 60,000 calls per month and call volume continues to increase at a steady pace. While crisis hotlines participating in the Lifeline network vary in size, scope and structure, they are all equally committed to helping those in need and demonstrate their dedication by adhering to evidence-based standards through their participation in the Lifeline network.
Kind as they are, there is no evidence to show that the crisis lines save lives. They are a listening service and an avenue for other services to direct people to.

Frank Sabatté is a Catholic priest, artist and member of the Paulist Fathers religious order.
He currently serves as the Director of the Openings Collective in New York City and is Senior Curator of the Gallery at the Sheen Centre for Thought and Culture.
Frank graduated from the College of Fine Arts at UCLA. He is Artist-in-Residence for the Paulist Fathers in New York and has been an illustrator for the Paulist Press since 1977.
In this interview, Frank talks about what inspires him and we learn how discovering the random-stitch method of embroidery has enabled him to create his hypnotic portraits.
Frank Sabatté: In 2002 I was visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels which had just been completed in Los Angeles. The principal artist for the interior was John Nava who completed a series of large tapestries done in a realist style with a limited palate and depicting the Communion of Saints, a Catholic doctrine.
For the saints other than contemporary saints, Nava hired a casting agent to hire models that reflected the ethnic diversity of the city. He did paintings of the persons walking in procession as well as a large depiction of the baptism of Jesus.
When I saw the work I was in awe, but when I came upon the image of Mary Magdalene I was stunned. I decided that I had to pursue a textile medium, however, I did not want to do tapestry, so I searched for something else.
After viewing the Nava tapestries I searched the internet for various textile mediums. I discovered the random-stitch method of embroidery developed in Suzhou, China in the 1930's. It was a departure from traditional Chinese embroidery and laid down the threads in a random way to create portraits.
I then searched YouTube and found a demonstration of free-motion embroidery being used to put embellishments, flowers etc, on clothing. The feed-dogs were lowered and the stitch width was controlled by the knee. I combined the two methods and developed mine.
When I was deciding a college major I chose art as I had discovered I could draw. I was very privileged to study at UCLA under Lee Mullican, James Valerio, Elliot Elgart and others, all of whom influenced me.
At the same time, I was considering becoming a priest and was drawn to the Paulist Fathers Catholic Center while at UCLA.
One of my goals has been to bridge what I consider to be an artificial separation between the 'secular' and the 'spiritual'.
When I did the series on the victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide I was profoundly affected by the Catholic belief in the Communion of Saints, that our beloved dead are not separated from us, but are with us always.
I discovered I could draw when I was 12 and started copying photographs. Unfortunately, there were no art instructions at my grammar school or high school so, at that point I was self-taught. When I went to college, that changed and had rigorous drawing and painting courses.
Random-stitch, free-motion embroidery is a process of layering thread using an industrial sewing machine. I am quick to point out that the machine is not computer-aided and does not substitute for knowledge of colour theory and drawing skill. The machine is, for all intents and purposes, a paintbrush.
I use Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to prepare the image I want to render then I free-hand draw the image in sections starting with the face, in ballpoint pen, pencils leave graphite particles in the machine, on an interfaced piece of cotton duck.
I then layer in the base colour, a yellow hue, followed by red and blue. By adjusting their proximity I control the tones and, as in pointillism, the illusion of secondary and tertiary colours.
After a while, the layers build up a thickness, which is why an industrial machine is essential. For the clothing and background, I lay down a base colour using wool-silk fabric then stitch over that. It would be too much wear on the machine to use thread alone at that stage.
I have been told by those who know that my work is fine art and is contemporary. I am doing what I believe I am called to do in choosing subjects.
The work Bernice Lee, Palo Alto, 1931 depicts my mother at 14. She died in 1986 and I felt this work was a kind of reconciliation.
I have a studio in the basement of the Paulist Fathers rectory, priests house, and like to listen to traditional Chinese music as I work.
As I said the subjects in a sense 'present themselves'.
For Jennie Lee, Nebraska, 1898 which is a portrait of my grandmother at 18, I was inspired by her life as a Nebraska pioneer who had a difficult marriage, her husband's house is in the background and who was a huge influence on me when I was a child.
I have mentioned two above. My most recent, St. Bernadette Soubirous reconnected me with my family of origin. My French grandparents were born in the same region, in the same era and spoke the same language as Bernadette (Occitan).
It most definitely has. My palette and colour choice have become stronger, the threading is denser which results in a kind of translucence.
Don't limit yourself. Creative people are always drawn to a whole lot of ideas. But most of all, learn what took me years to learn: let go of the idea that you are doing this work so that people will like you. When you get stuck in the notion that 'if they like my work they will like me' you will never do strong work.
We create because we have to. Listen to the voice inside that will tell you what is working and not working. I know someone who considers himself an artist. His work is dreadful and the problem is he isn't taking incoming calls.
Get artists or persons who have a good eye who you trust to critique your work. You work for the joy of working not for cash and prizes.
I am sure there are some good books out there but I prefer to recommend taking a class in your area of drawing, painting and composition skills.
Pose Space, a great source for models.
A Bernina 950 Industrial Machine. I could live but not do what I do!
Sometimes I am invited. Sometimes I enter a competition.
At the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and on my website.
Frank, your works are very moving. I'm particularly drawn to the eyes. Thank you.

Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Contemporary
Lens Reviews / Sigma Lenses i Lab tested
IS Test
Most people tend to think of image stabilization as being mainly for telephoto lenses. While it's true that their longer focal lengths tend to magnify the effects of camera shake, image stabilization can provde a very useful assist at wider angle focal lengths as well; anyone who's ever tried to blur the image of a waterfall, while keeping the surrounding landsape tack-sharp knows exactly what I'm talking about.
At 17mm, it's fairly obvious to see about two stops of hand-holding improvement. Image stabilization systems aren't really as effective at wider angles, but as soon as you start shooting movies with them, they become very useful.
Mouse over this chart to show results with IS activated.
Zoomed in to 70mm, it's also looking like at least three stops of hand-holding performance: without OS activated, we see good shots at a maximum of 1/60 of a second. With OS activated, we can shoot as slow as 1/8 of a second and still get tack-sharp images.
IS systems tend to provide more benefit to less-stable shooters than very steady ones, so most users will see the same or greater amounts of shake reduction as we measured here. You can read more about our IS test methodology here: SLRgear IS Test Methodology, v2.

Q: ASP.NET Boilerplate 3.0 Template First, thanks for the opportunity,
I noticed that the latest template using ABP 3.0 and aspnetcore 2.0 doesn't come with social logins implementations. Also I cannot register user in UI anymore. I would like to know why they were gone.
Will these features come back in future versions?  I'm afraid to use the codes from previous versions and crash with the new aspnetcore 2.0.
Thanks in advance

A: User Registration is available. There is a register link in the login page: https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/module-zero-core-template#login-page
However you should switch to a tenant for that. Host side does not has register functionality by design.
We removed social logins since the implementation had some problems and we didn't want to provide support for it and wanted to keep startup template simple. It's pretty standard, you can implement yourself by following Microsoft's documents.

BELFAST — Maine Farmland Trust announced it has a new leader to help the organization "advance the future of farming in Maine." Amy Fisher assumed the role of president and CEO on Aug. 23.
For the last seven years, Fisher served as executive director of the foundation for the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. According to the press release, VIMS is known for advancing sustainable shellfish aquaculture worldwide and providing research, innovation, and extension services to support the sustainable marine industries important to protecting the landscape and character of the Chesapeake Bay region.
At VIMS, the press release said, Fisher led a record-breaking fundraising campaign to launch a new institute-wide sustainable shellfish aquaculture initiative, created an innovation strategy and fund to spur exploration of creative solutions to marine challenges, established more than 30 fellowships to help students fund their educations in marine science, and advanced work to address marine plastic pollution, toxics, and community resilience in the face of recurrent flooding and rising sea levels.
Prior to joining VIMS, Fisher was based in New England, with roles at Boston University, Simmons University, and St. Francis House. She led the Center for Environmental Citizenship's electoral skills training and organizing efforts, including on campuses and ballot initiative campaigns in Maine. A graduate of Bates College, she holds an MBA from Boston University.
Maine Farmland Trust board Chair Meredith Eilers, co-owner of Blue Bell Farm in Bowdoinham, said Fisher's "mix of strengths in organizational leadership, fundraising, organizing and working in collaboration with diverse communities on environmental issues is a great match for Maine's vibrant farm community."
Founded by farmers and farm advocates in 1999, Maine Farmland Trust is a pioneering statewide organization that advances farming in Maine by protecting farmland and supporting farmers to access land and grow thriving farm businesses.
"I'm very excited to bring my experience working with environmental community back to Maine," Fisher said. "Maine has an incredible ecosystem of support for its farmers and landscapes, and together we have a unique opportunity to grow a thriving food and farm system that can feed Maine, and make our region more resilient."
As Fisher steps in to her new role, she plans to spend as much time as possible meeting with farmers, partners, and MFT members throughout the state, the press release said.
Maine Farmland Trust is a statewide, member-powered nonprofit that works to protect farmland, support farming, and advance the future for farming in Maine. A team of 30 staff and 15 board members carries out the organization's programs to protect farmland, get farmers on the land, support farmers with the tools they need to grow their businesses, and advocate for policies that work for Maine farms.
Since its founding over 20 years ago, the trust's work has helped to keep over 60,000 acres of farmland in farming, and provided over 800 farm families with critical services, like business planning. Learn more at mainefarmlandtrust.org.

Evaluating Ty Jerome, De'Andre Hunter, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Recently, I decided to take the time to watch Virginia play against Virginia Tech in an ACC basketball game that was played on January 15th. The Virginia Tech Hokies had been surprisingly winning lots of games this year, as they are led by first round prospect Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but they were no match for Virginia, as the Virginia Cavaliers' shooting and terrific passing were too much for them. Virginia won handily, and Ty Jerome and De'Andre Hunter both played very well. Here are my thoughts on how various prospects fared, as well how their games may translate to the NBA.
Virginia's 6-5 junior guard, Ty Jerome had a terrific showing in his team's lopsided win over Virginia Tech. He really excelled as a shooter and facilitator on the court, and he also helped get some rebounds when he was on the court. Jerome did a great job of knocking down threes to space the floor for his team on offense. He has a lot of range on his shot, as he would make deep threes from way out, and he even dribbled back to do so early on. Plus, he also made a couple of quick corner threes off the catch. But sometimes he would rush his shots, which would lead him to miss them on occasion.
He also showed a decent ability to get scores off of drives to the basket. Jerome is a crafty player that can use ball-handling moves to weave past defenders as he can use hesitation moves and ball fakes to get past his man, and he would draw non-shooting fouls on his opponents. He did miss once after using an up and under move off the dribble, but did manage to score on a tip-in off of an offensive rebound afterwards.
Plus, he also displayed terrific playmaking skills. Jerome is a very skilled passer that possesses great court vision, and he would tend to throw nifty interior passes, and he would also swiftly kick the ball out to shooters to set up a wealth of scores for his teammates. He can throw no-look passes and behind the back passes seamlessly, and he also can routinely hit cutters. He'll swing the ball to shooters, and he can also find teammates on the move. He racked up many assists in this game, but did commit a few turnovers. Sometimes, he may struggle to protect the basketball when handling it, as he can lose it to the other team, and he also threw a bounce pass that ended up getting intercepted another time.
Also, Jerome was able to help out on the boards to get some rebounds for Virginia. He was able to get boards on both ends of the floor, and he also would sometimes leap up to get defensive rebounds. Defensively, he looked to be about average. Jerome managed to contest a three to force a miss once. But another time, he over-ran past his opponent and ended up getting beat off the dribble, which led him to allow his man to score on a pull-up, mid-range jumper. In general, Ty Jerome played really well, and he excelled as a shooter, scorer, and distributor in his team's double-digit victory over Virginia Tech. Jerome is a smart, skilled player that can help his team in many different facets of the game, and he could end up being a first round pick in the upcoming draft.
Virginia's 6-7 sophomore forward, De'Andre Hunter also had a solid showing in his team's win over Virginia Tech. He showed off versatile scoring skills, did a good job of moving the basketball, and he also helped out on the glass when he was on the court. He showed a knack for scoring on aggressive drives to the basket. Hunter particularly excelled at going to his left, and he was able to score on a couple of powerful dunks, and he also used a jump stop move to score on a reverse layup. He has a good first step off the dribble that he can use to get past his opponents, and he would rarely miss shots when looking to take the ball to the rim.
Also, Hunter showed off adequate low post scoring skills. Hunter would use jab steps before barreling his way to the hoop, as he would tend to draw fouls on his opponents. He did miss on an up and under move once, but he later was able to score on a put back off of an offensive rebound. Plus, he also shot the ball well, as he would help his team space the floor. Hunter would use jab step moves to knock down mid-range jumpers from the baseline, and he also made an open corner three off the catch.
Hunter also displayed fairly average playmaking skills. He is an unselfish player that will get his teammates the basketball, and he will keep the ball moving on offense. He can throw long, accurate passes, and he also can pass both off the dribble as well as out of the post. He did commit several turnovers, though. Hunter was called for setting a moving screen once, and he also lowered a shoulder on a drive to commit an offensive foul another time. On a separate play, he used a pump fake but then ended up having a crosscourt pass that he threw intercepted by a defender. In addition, he also was able to haul in his fair share of boards when he was on the court. He managed to get an offensive rebound off his own miss once, and he also would leap up to get defensive rebounds to help his team on the glass.
Defensively, Hunter may need to improve. For the positives, Hunter was able to stay in front of his man as he contested a shot on a drive to force a miss, and he also was able to successfully challenge a three-point shot another time. However, he tended to be caught ball watching as he would be late on his rotations, and he would allow opponents to score on threes and mid-range jumpers too often. On a separate play, he ended up getting beat off the dribble to allow a score.
Overall, De'Andre Hunter played well, as he showed off a variety of skills to help his team get a comfortable victory over Virginia Tech. He is an athletic combo forward that can shoot and score the basketball, and he could project into being a 3 and D type of player in the NBA, as he could be a good value pick for a team in the mid to late first round range in the upcoming draft.
Virginia Tech's 6-5 sophomore guard, Nickeil Alexander-Walker played well in his team's loss to Virginia. He played well in virtually every facet of the game, and he showed off versatile scoring skills to help his team on offense. Alexander-Walker did a good job of getting scores off the dribble. He would tend to favor going left, as he would score on tough, aggressive drives to the basket, and he also managed to score on a smooth, two-handed dunk late in the game. He also would use jab steps and step backs to knock down mid-range jumpers. However, he would occasionally miss shots in traffic, as he would force up some tough shots at times.
He also shot the ball well from beyond the arc. Alexander-Walker was able to knock down a couple of open, corner threes to space the floor. Also, after running off of a screen another time, he was able to draw three free throws after attempting a corner three early in this contest. He also ran the floor to get the ball, as he was able to draw free throws on a drive in transition.
Also, he showed off adequate playmaking skills. He is an unselfish player that possesses good patience and court vision, and he can throw solid interior passes as well as throw good passes off the dribble to set up scores for his teammates. But he also committed a slew of turnovers. Sometimes, he would lose the basketball when handling it due to carelessness, and he also had a pass picked off late in this game. He also would collect his fair share of boards, and he would leap up to get some defensive rebounds on that end of the floor.
Plus, he showed off decent defensive skills. Alexander-Walker can poke balls away from opponents to make it difficult for them to cleanly handle the basketball, and he also contested a deep three to force a miss. But sometimes he would be late on his rotations and give his man too much space, which would cause him to allow opponents to score on jumpers. On a separate play, he was called for a reach-in foul when pressuring an opposing ball handler due to over-aggressiveness.
In general, Nickeil Alexander-Walker had a solid showing, as he primarily excelled as a shooter and scorer, but he also displayed good passing skills in his team's loss to Virginia. Sometimes he can be unfocused, which can result in ball-handling turnovers and to him being out of position defensively, but his ability to space the floor could help teams at the next level. Right now, he may project to be a mid to late first round pick in the upcoming draft, as he could project to be a similar player to current New York Knicks guard, Tim Hardaway Jr. in the NBA.
Virginia's 6-2 junior guard, Kyle Guy played well in his team's win over Virginia Tech. He excelled as a shooter and scorer when he was on the floor, and he is a crafty player that can get buckets to help his team on offense. He was able to knock down a slew of corner threes to show off his solid shooting skills, and he also scored a subtly quick layup off of a drive to the basket. Guy did a good job of getting scores off the dribble, as he managed to score on a tough contested jumper after pivoting off of a drive. He also attempted to post up once, but he ended up missing on a turnaround jumper.
However, he may need to improve his playmaking skills. Guy can handle the basketball, and he was able to hit the cutter off the dribble to set up a scoring chance, but he tended to be inaccurate with his passes, as a couple of them went astray in this game. One ball he threw sailed out of bounds perhaps due to miscommunication, and another pass ended up being intercepted.
Overall, Guy is a skilled shooter that can score the basketball, and he has been a solid player for Virginia this year. His upside though may be limited as he only possesses average athletic gifts and less than ideal playmaking skills for a player his size, as he plays off the ball despite being of point guard size. Still, Guy's ability to shoot and score could potentially help him make an NBA team's roster, as he could be a similar player to current San Antonio Spurs' guard, Bryn Forbes in the association.
Virginia Tech's 6-5 senior guard, Ahmed Hill had a fairly good performance in his team's loss, as he played especially well in the second half to help his team out. He is a good athlete that can score the ball in a variety of ways, and he made one highlight reel-worthy play in this game. On one play, he ran the floor and leapt up to catch a lob pass to score on a high-flying, alley-oop dunk in transition.
He also did an adequate job of knocking down jumpers. Hill was able to make a quick three from well beyond the arc, and he also ran off a screen to make a contested three another time. He was streaky with his outside shot though, and he struggled more to make them when taking them off the dribble. On the other hand, he was able to make a pull-up, mid-range jumper from the baseline.
Overall, Ahmed Hill is an athletic, skilled shooter that can also score on hustle plays, and he is an intriguing prospect that has flown under the radar. He has excelled as a shooter on the season, and while he has not drawn much draft buzz, Hill's ability to shoot the basketball could potentially help him make an NBA team's roster, as he could profile into being like an Ime Udoka type of player in the league.
Virginia's 6-8 junior forward, Braxton Key also had a good showing in his team's win over Virginia Tech. He showed off versatile scoring skills, as he was able to make a corner three to show off his ability to shoot from downtown, and he also would finish plays around the basket to garner scores. On one play, Key found himself open underneath the hoop, and received the ball before scoring on a powerful dunk. He also attempted to score on a jumper off of a drive after using a spin move, but he missed that time.
He also played adequate defense. Key can jump on loose balls and intercept passes to help his team force turnovers, and he is quite active in playing passing lanes. He also appeared to block a shot off of a drive from behind after initially getting beat, but was called for committing a foul instead as he was called for the swing down on the opposing player.
Overall, Braxton Key played well in his team's victory over Virginia Tech. He is a fairly athletic combo forward that shows promise as a 3 and D type of prospect for the next level. Right now, Key may project to be a borderline second round prospect for the 2019 draft. He'll need to continue to improve his jump shot, but if so, he could project into being a DeMarre Carroll type of player in the league.

Q: Why won't any image show when I try to use css to do so? I am very new to html and css. I am trying to set my background image and nothing is working. I have created a folder in where my html files are, and I have also tried using a direct path as shown on the image's properties. Nothing I have tried has worked. I have read a lot of instructions, watched videos online, etc, etc, etc. I hope someone can help me! It seems so simple and yet I am having a lot of trouble getting it to work. Below is how I have everything.
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-image:url ("C:/Users/owner/Desktop/site files/images/grass.jpg");}

</style>

</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>

A: It likely has to do with your local URL. Put the image with your code and use a relative path.
<style type="text/css">
  body {
    background-image: url("../images/grass.jpg");
  }
</style>

Note: I'd also encourage you to avoid spaces or other non-conventional filename characters.

A: As silly as it sounds, it worked for me when there's no space between url and (
I also changed the file link to something like "file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/face.jpg" (opening the desired image in your browser should result in this format in the address bar)

A: I'd advice you next:
1) Add something inside body, to make page not empty
<body>Some text</body>

2) There is folder with blank sign (space) in the name in your path - it can be problem!
I'd advice you to place your background image in the same folder with your HTML file and write path such way:
body { background-image: url('./grass.jpg'); }

Notice special signs which can be used in path:
./ current dirrectory
../ one dirrectory up

Govt Says Omicron Impact May Be Less Severe Due To Vaccination, Prior Infections
3 min read 90 Shares
Gursharan BhallaUpdated on Dec 03, 2021, 17:50 IST
New cases have plateaued at about 10,000 in the last few weeks after hospitals and health care facilities were swamped in April and May by a record second surge of infections and deaths unleashed by the Delta variant.Since announcing the first two cases yesterday, a number of other samples have been flagged as possible Omicron cases, including two in Tamil Nadu.
India expects the Omicron variant of coronavirus to cause less severe disease, the health ministry said, thanks to vaccinations and high prior exposure to the Delta variant that infected nearly 70% of the population by July.
Govt's recent statement on Omicron
84% have got at least one vaccine dose
Protest at Delhi hospital
Cases reported in India
"Given the fast pace of vaccination in India and high exposure to Delta variant as evidenced by high seropositivity, the severity of the disease is anticipated to be low," it said in a statement. "However, scientific evidence is still evolving."
"There is no evidence to suggest existing vaccines do not work on Omicron... vaccine protection is also by antibodies as well as cellular immunity... Hence, vaccines are expected to still offer protection against severe disease and, vaccination with the available vaccines is crucial," the government FAQ said.
Junior doctors protested to demand that staff numbers be beefed up, warning of a disastrous situation if the new variant overwhelmed health care facilities, although nearly half of India's 944 million adults have been fully vaccinated.
As many as 84% have received at least one dose, with more than 125 million people due for a second by the end of November, as the government pushes more to get inoculated in the face of Omicron.
New cases have plateaued at about 10,000 in the last few weeks after hospitals and health care facilities were swamped in April and May by a record second surge of infections and deaths unleashed by the Delta variant.
New COVID-19 infections stood at 9,216 on Friday, as some resident doctors kept away from non-critical work to press a demand to add staff by enrolling new post-graduate students.
"We want justice," shouted some students holding a protest at the Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in the capital, while placards nearby read, "We are human, not robot."
"Healthcare institutions across the nation are running short of adequate workforce of resident doctors," a national grouping of such doctors at dozens of government hospitals told Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviy in a letter.
"With the possibility of a future COVID-19 pandemic wave looming large, the situation will be disastrous."
The Omicron variant was first reported from South Africa last week. It has a reported 50 mutations (compared to Delta), of which 30+ are on the spike protein, which is the target of most current vaccines and is what the virus uses to access to the body's cells.
Researchers are trying to confirm whether this makes it more transmissible or lethal than Delta, and are also just how effective existing vaccines will be. Since announcing the first two cases yesterday, a number of other samples have been flagged as possible Omicron cases, including two in Tamil Nadu.
These and earlier samples, including 10 from Mumbai, six from Delhi and two from Chandigarh, are being analysed to identify the strain. Samples from five contacts of one of the Omicron patients (a 46-year-old Bengaluru anaesthetist with no travel history) are also being analysed, after they too tested positive for COVID-19.

Democracy in Kenya hasn't "disappeared…in fact, it's just reasserted itself. This is not the first time that a government has rigged an election in Kenya but it's the first time that the ordinary people of Kenya have come out en masse and said NO, we shall not accept this. There have been some unfortunate incidents unfortunately but even the "modern" democracies went through similar.
These are the growing pains of a young democracy, where the rights of citizens and the limits of government are still being fought over and citizens are prepared to go toe to toe with their government to protect their hard won rights. I am almost sure that after what we have seen over the last week or so, future governments will think twice before attempting the same. If you knew the Kenya of the 70's and 80's and compare it to the Kenya of today, you would know that democracy in Kenya is not in danger of being wiped out but just encountered a little blip!


1934. 136 pages. No dust jacket. This is an ex-Library book. Green cloth with gilt lettering. Ex-Library with the usual stamps, notations and inserts. Cracking to hinge, tearing to spine and unstable boards but binding remains tight. Crisp pages, bold text, clear illustrations and some tanning to text block edges. Lightly rubbed and marked boards with some scuffs to corners and edges and wear to spine ends.


This is a post I've been meaning to do since last spring. Oops! Now the branches are weighed down by snow, and spending a day in a treehouse sounds more like a frosty form of torture than a luxury. But when it's time for the birds to come back north, they're going to have some serious competition for their tree-top real estate if I keep seeing buildings like these.
From what I can tell, the treehouses above were commissioned by private clients of Alain Laurens. Laurens left a successful advertising carer in 1999 to pursue a childhood dream, and he has since built over 220 treehouses throughout Europe with his firm, La Cabane Perchée. Right now, I'm coveting his book, Exceptional Treehouses, which showcases 30 of his aerial masterpieces.
Closer to home is TreeHouse Workshop, a Washington State firm that has built nests across the country.
If bears lived in trees, I would be convinced that this is the house that lured Goldilocks. The chalet-style treehouse in Olympic Penninsula, Washington, looks like it came straight from the pages of a fairytale. TreeHouse Workshop built this guest house with running water and enough space to sleep four.
And Diana of exPress-o brought my attention to the Yellow treehouse restaurant in New Zealand. While Yatzer wrote in early 2009 that the restaurant was fully booked, the official website says it's "closed until consent is obtained." Well, that's unfortunate.
In the meantime, you could dine in this palm tree pod on the Thai island of Koh Kood. Can you imagine spending an afternoon up here with a good book and a daiquiri?
So, what do you think? Would you spend the night in a treehouse, or would fear of heights get the best of you? I know which side I fall on. Treehotel, here I come!
marissa this is an awesome post! i recently saw an incredible book about treehouses at nomad on mass ave. you should check it out. i think you'd be a fan!
This is INCREDIBLE! So unreal, like your greatest fantasies coming true. I saw the mirrored cube in a magazine a while back but all the ones you've displayed are fabulous. Would love to stay in all of them but mostly in the first one, the New Zealand Yellow restaurant and the Palm Tree Pod. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! It took forever to put this together. I love Nomad; I'll definitely have to go check the book out.
Totally building one of these someday..when I make lots of money, that is.
I've ALWAYS wanted a treehouse - these are incredible.
There's a place in France where you can rent them. I really want to do it this summer!
How incredibly magical those are!
Never realised there were so many tree houses. Some truly amazing ideas here.
I might have to "upgrade" if I ever have the funds!
wow, these places are amazing! truly incredible. thanks so much for sharing these.
Oh, my god. This places are so freakin' cool! Basically, my dream house. Some of them look like something out of Rivendell. And hello, a treehouse where you can dine on an island straight out of paradise? Hell to the YES!! Great post.
very cool! hopefully will meet you tongiht at StyleBoston's event!
Great meeting you at the Style Boston event tonight...rushed home to google your blog before I forgot! Love this post, tree houses are so much fun....especially when they are well done on the inside! Hope to see you around town again!
Oh my gosh what an insanely fabulous post!! I would LOVE to live in a treehouse. Why do they just have to be for kids?! These are amazing!
These photos are amazing! Thanks for giving us a peek :) The one over water would scare me, but besides that I'm good!
these are incredible! i had a tree house growing up and would spend hours with my sis in it playing, telling stories, etc. the bright orange tree house and the spiraling staircases are unreal.
shame we didn't get to formally meet the other night. there's next time!
Love this post! i used to dream of living in a treehouse when i was little, and now i do again!

Dirty Boar 2019
While we couldn't actually ride this years Dirty Boar it is great to have a couple of like minded folks take on this epic gravel ride in one of the most stunning areas of Belgium.
In it's third year, The Dirty Boar has provided lock, stock and barrel when it comes to gravel rides and in almost every weather condition imaginable.
If you are thinking on taking on the event read on and see what you might be missing out on.
Phil Dubé
Beginning of September! And with it comes what is now becoming a yearly trip to Belgium for a ride through the Hautes Fagnes with the Dirty Boar. Last year was a spectacle of sunshine, whereas the first edition had the boars plowing through mud and rain all day for what's becoming known as a rather epic edition. What's in store for this third edition?
On the Friday evening arrival, signs are looking positive around Ovifat with the familiar Bombtrack, Ridley and Lauf presence visible and a welcoming campfire by which to enjoy a cool Redoutable Tripel. The evening looks promising, and there are even kids racing carts down the ski hill slopes and using the rope tows to climb back up and start again. The forecast promises a mix for Saturday however when checking it while downing the great beer. It wouldn't be Belgium if the weather wasn't variable…
Come Saturday morning, the prediction does ring true, and the variable weather comes with it. Maybe not as wet a start as the first edition of the Dirty Boar, but it is a foggy sendoff with no lack of puddles in the mud to splash through during the first portion of the day. On and off it will be from here.
In many ways, this might be where portions of the 170kms course shine however. Boars do get like it messy after all! That's where some of the portions get slick, and it's time to pay attention.
As the route runs on towards the first feed station, a welcome pause and a slight break between the clouds. As part of the prep prior, the organising crew sent out feeding on nutrition from Bye Nutrition who have some of their goodies to sample for the riders. A good top up and onwards to the next portion of the course further over the German border.
Further on, back in the forest, a few descents further before the day's climbing really begins. The back portion of the course brings with it the bulk of the uphill meters. Important to leave something in the tank for those later uphill meters…Getting to those is suddenly complicated this year however. In a slightly slick pebbled descent, a surprise is pending – front wheel slips, and down we go. Oh no! Luckily things look to relatively okay however. A few scrapes and bashes, but nothing a bit of time won't heal away. A further surprise is in store however – Looking over towards the bike, a broken shifter. This will be rather difficult to address given context. It very much looks like the day has been cut short.
With little to no options to continue, only one recourse remains – to put to use the number the organisers had shared as recourse. Definitely preferable to never have to exercise the request for help, but nonetheless, some circumstances dictate. Luckily, the Dirty Boar team once again show their organisational skills. Once details of what happened are given, plans are quickly made, and a meetup arranged. Need to make it back out the forest, which involves some hiking with a damaged steed, but there on exit, is the van with with crew waiting. We aren't alone in having needed a ride back, and the consensus between those affected is that in difficult moments this crew knows how to take care of people. Chapeau!
Once back, there is a silver lining to missing the tail end of the course – we are there on time for the first arrivals, and it's worth it. The day in part started with our being told it was not a race. The strength shown by some of the first to arrive is truly impressive though. Particularly entertaining is the second in, who stuck around in the rain and chill unaffected and pondering going back out to meet his girlfriend still at the third feed stop. Strong stuff and a delight to see before enjoying the burgers, Belgian fries, and beer to wrap up the day.
Looking forward to next year! Every edition has been different thus far adding to the joy, and there's unfinished business that will need taking care of!
Andy Field
Alarm goes off at 5.00 although I've been awake on and off for the last hour. It's been raining all night, forecasted and not unexpected even though the day before was hot and dry. Typical Belgian weather. Still dark, time for a coffee and breakfast, wake the others and a final check that everything is in the frame bag. Pump, inner tube, sealant, tools – check. GPS unit charged and with the correct maps, check. Just after 5.30 and we're off, still dark we make our way to Ovifat from our base in Stavelot. 30 minutes later and we've stopped at the red light on the dam just before you get to Robertville. We're entering Dirty Boar country.
Arriving at Ovifat we're guided into the temporary car park, Lots of gravelista's prepping their bikes and making their way to the start. There's light rain and the darkness is receding. The air's filled with anticipation and good humour, time for a final bike check and some coffee whilst checking out the variety of bikes – there's a lot of XC hard tails, some full suspension bikes but mostly gravel bikes. Funnily enough there's only one single speed, belonging to Jim who drove down with me, it's his first Dirty Boar but coming from Yorkshire he's used to hills.
We're called to the start. Due to the amount of riders and to prevent a queue at the end of the road we set off in stages. And we're off, there's no point in racing, just find your rhythm and get settled in. All around there's the squealing of disc brakes, the first km is on the road, then a sharp turnoff with a slight downhill and we hit the first gravel section. Unlike last year there's no queue at the first big puddle, Jim speeds off, he's hoping for a good time and that's the last I see of him.
The terrain is mixed, lots of gravel, wet from the rain. It's getting lighter but still raining, luckily it's not too cold. The groups start too thin out as we ride through the mist laden landscape of the Haute Fagnes. As with any gravel race we pass plenty of tyre casualties, at the back of your mind you're thinking lucky it's not me. Fast single track, gravel sections and some asphalt, lots of mud. Jade who I'm cycling with is spotless thanks to her mudguards, me and pretty much everyone else is covered in mud. The light rain stops and we hit the first of many fast downhill sections interspersed with some climbs through the Eupen forests.
Finally we hit the first feed station under a towering wind turbine but not before being held up by a herd of cows being walked down the road. Grabbing some sugar laden waffles we're off again. The rain has stopped, temperature is warm but the skies still grey. The riding's fast, again lots of mixed terrain, more down hill sections to bomb down and some pretty steep climbs. The groups have definitely thinned out and we're starting to pass and get passed by the same riders. We hit our first German town, the one with the small single track down hill with a tight turn down some steps. Screeching of brakes and exclamations from riders not expecting it. There's some single track forest sections interspersed with climbs, the riding is varied enough to keep you on your toes.
The second feed station, mud covered faces, everyone with big grins. Top up with water and more sugar waffles, there's still a bunch more riding to do. Over the dam and another climb and we're back in the forest. There's more light rain and the legs are starting to feel it, over half the ride's been done but all I can think about is how much elevation is ahead especially that last winding climb up to Ovifat. I follow Jade up a climb as she passes groups of riders clocking her choice of bike – It's the one she tours with, steel with 30mm tyres and those mudguards that are doing their job – a large rack on the from for her water bottle and tool bag. Another queue as we wait for another group of cows to clear the road and we're off again. I pass another Fairlight rider and say 'nice bike', I 'd clocked three by the end of the ride. We're back in the Haute Fagnes and the terrain is staring to look familiar, not much further now.
The last feed station and there's macaroni, cheese and hot dog sausages. Only 20 or so miles to go but now at the forefront of my mind that last section through the forest with some gnarly off-road tree rooted single track, a couple of river crossings and that final climb. At least it's stopped raining and the sun's out. Back on the bike and it's one final road section and then back into the forest and a long climb, I can see the riders up ahead snaking their way up and over the hill. We keep passing the same XC rider – we're better on the climbs but she passes us on the down hill sections. More single track and then the first of five river crossings, this is where it gets interesting,. Some passing walkers cheer us on as we cycle through a gavel strewn river bed and then we hit that climb, the one that sucks the last bit of energy out of your legs We're riding alongside the XC rider but Jade's had enough and decides to go for it and leaves us both behind.Slowly grinding up the climb, one last tight bend and then it's the final bit of single track up past the ski slope. It's easier than I remembers it but by this time my legs have completely gone. I grit my teeth and just go for it, thinking of the bier and frites at the finish line. One last corner, that final section of asphalt and that's the Dirty Boar done. Both my bike and I are covered in a fine layer of mud, legs aching but with a smile on my face. Back next year? Definitely!
Huge thanks to Phil & Andy for their words.
