Sept. 21, 1989 Thursday
Catherine manages to "sooth the savage beast" and brings Vincent back from near death in the dark cavern. Vincent has lost most of his memory of the incident, as well as the bond he shared with Catherine, but he will live.
A college buddy of Joe's gives him a black book, but will not say more until he is out of the country. He is then killed in a car explosion that also puts Joe in the hospital. The book supposedly will reveal a terrible conspiracy, so Catherine takes up the investigation. She also discovers that she is pregnant.
Catherine briefs Moreno, who wants the book himself. She agrees to copy it for him, but keeps the original. She is then abducted by men affiliated with Moreno. They drug her to try to gain the location of the black book, but Catherine says nothing. While in captivity, she tries to tap a code on the pipes, which is heard below. Vincent comes to the building, killing the guards in his way (and getting filmed by surveillance cameras). He is still too late, and Catherine is taken away by the mystery man.
Months pass, and Catherine is ready to give birth. The mystery man is no longer interested in Catherine or the black book - all he wants now is the child. Vincent's empathic bond returns, but now the bond is between him and the unborn child, not Catherine. He follows the sense to the building where Catherine is being held, but he is again too late. The baby is born, and taken away by the mystery man in a helicoptor. Catherine is injected with a lethal drug before they go, and dies in Vincent's arms.

Diana does some preliminary searching in the tunnels.
Oct. 3, 1989 Tuesday

That night, both Diana and Snow explore the tunnels, searching for Vincent. Vincent kills Snow and obtains Snow's ring, which is identical to Gabriel's ring.

Diana can't return to her apartment. It's under surveillance by Gabriel's men. She attempts to call Joe from a pay phone but her call is intercepted by Angela, his receptionist and transferred to Houston, a policeman also working for Gabriel, so she hangs up before her call can be traced. Father's 'helpers' chase her into an alley and bring ber Below to speak with Father because Vincent is gone and she was the last person to speak with him.

Diana gives Father the sketch she made (from memory) of Gabriel's floor tile. Father brings this sketch to Joe after work hours at his office in the Criminal Courts Building.

A hitman who followed Joe is captured by 'helpers' and handed over to police custody. Detective Greg Hughes calls Joe on his beeper. Joe calls Greg on a pay phone and obtains a list of possible addresses for the tile. Diana picks Staten Island as the most likely, due to the length of time she spent blindfolded in the helicopter and the fact that they flew over water. Diana leaves Joe at the Museum. She tells him she'll find her own way inside the mansion rather than wait for him to obtain a search warrant. That evening, she gets inside with Father's maps of old pipe systems. She crawls inside through an old steam pipe and helps Vincent leave with his son before Joe gets there with the SWAT team. She kills Gabriel with Catherine's gun.

Father wants to be with her, much to the chagrin of Mary, and gathers his things to venture into the world above.
Meanwhile, a crisis threatens the tunnel community. A serial killer has taken to killing helpers, and painting their faces with a powder that turns out to be human ash. The killer's name is Gregory. Diana is working on the case, but has no leads until she discovers, through Vincent, that the victims are connected via their relationship to the tunnel community.
Date shown: July 27, 1990Writers: Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon

Father has decided that he can't stay above with Jessica while a madman is hunting his people, so he goes back down to see what he can do. Gregory intercepts him, and buries him alive at the site of the cave-in. Gregory then paints his own face, and dies in an abyss.
Diana figures out what Gregory did with Father, and Vincent comes to the rescue. Father and Jessica realize that their relationship can never be, and they say goodbye.

Hitting like a girl: the women who made sports historyby Sarah Morris - Copy Editor
What was once deemed "America's pastime," the sport of baseball had a bigger effect on the United States and holds a greater meaning for us as a nation then one would think. In fact, through the sport, it was Jackie Robinson in 1947 who stepped onto a major league baseball field and made great strikes for black people in the world of U.S. athletics. The sport also became the symbol of the "postwar search for efficiency and productivity," according to the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE).
Along with integrating people of color into the sport, baseball also accepted women for a short period in the 20th century. During World War II, while the draft sent men to fight, some women took over for them in baseball, shattering female boundaries in the sport.
This important milestone in history inspired a movie based on the real woman who played for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) called "A League of Their Own." The girls' names in the movie were mostly fictional, but they were based on the real AAGPBL as a whole.
Much like in the movie, the women who played baseball had to wear skirts to play and were required to take etiquette classes, or "evening charm school." The femininity of the women displayed was important because the men believed the beauty of the women would attract people to come watch a ball game.
The ages of the women ranged from as young as fifteen to late 20s. Each team had fifteen players, a coach, a business manager and a woman chaperone. The women earned anywhere from $45 to $85 a week.
In the first three years, about two to three thousand fans came to the ballpark to watch the women team's play. Their numbers only grew and by the 1948 season, the 10 teams attracted 910,000 paying fans.
Unfortunately, due to the return of the men and the popularity of television, the AAGPBL eventually fizzled out completely in the mi-1950s, but it remains a very interesting and key aspect in the history of baseball and its story sits deservingly in the Baseball Hall of Fame alongside the sport's greater-known male players.
For the 75th anniversary of AAGPBL, the living members are holding a special reunion/anniversary celebration in Kansas City, Missouri.

Skip to comments.Witnesses Said Police Officers Shot Unarmed Man In The Back. Then Cops Released The Video
Posted on 06/29/2020 10:23:33 PM PDT by Kevin in California
Two San Diego Police Department officers have been placed on paid leave after they shot and wounded a robbery suspect who pointed a gun at one of the officers during a confrontation in downtown Saturday night.
The suspect, Hurtado Ibarra, 25, of San Diego, suffered life-threatening injuries. He was hospitalized in an intensive care unit.
The incident remains under investigation by the District Attorneys Office.
The ACLU and others begged for body cams when they thought it would help their cause. Now that it has shown the opposite in 99% of cases they are slowly demanding less use of body cams.
You guys are amazing.
Thanks for your comment.
When I was first working I got a job at the post office for Christmas. There was a black girl who came across a package marked "fragile" and threw it as hard as she could and then announced to all "they can't fire me, I'm black". Unfortunately, I think she was right - they couldn't fire her" Too bad that she decided to use her status there to destroy someone's property.
Only if you use a shotgun. I'm OK with that.
Releasing the video didn't stop the morons and their lying. They are still claiming he was unarmed, shot in the back, hands up, etc. They even had a protest against the cops. Fortunately, there is solid evidence to put the perp away for a good while.
Obviously a stolen gun too. A replica 1851 Richards-Mason Navy with a 5-1/2" barrel, .38SP. He probably thought it was antique and worth thousands, thus wrapped in cloth to protect it.
Unless and until this happens, bearing false witness against law enforcement will continue.
Used to be excused as hyperbole.
Clearly, not anymore.
You do not always have time to activate anything except the trigger.
This is the other side of why every officer should have their body cameras locked on at all times while on shift. Good officers will now have their careers and reputations saved and there is a much lower chance that they will have idiot riots.
Given that this happened when you first started working, I was depressed to see that you have been on the forum even longer than I am, and at least at present reside in the part of the world from which I came (the Pacific North West), where I would have hoped that this attitude would have been slower to arise.
When I first started working, I believe that the blacks in my area were well-enough integrated (and few enough in number) that there never would have been any behaviour of this sort, nor would they have been cut slack for such idiotic things on account of race. My siblings (adopted from Asia) did encounter some discrimination from a small minority in the community, and I suspect that blacks might have as well, but it was a very rare awkward comment or action to which "Sticks and stones may break my bones" would suffice to respond. Not at the level of property destruction.
I'll help pay for you to get a nice gonad transplant. LOL
Possibly. I was reading an article in Handgun Magazine a month or so ago about the .36 to .38 Uberti conversion they were marketing. But theirs had the standard 7 1/2" barrel and fake ivory grips (which I despise). Mine has nice walnut grips and fits my hand like a comfortable old pair of jeans. I have a fascination with 19th and early 20th century wheelguns.
Once upon a time, when I was still an active lawman, I spent an about 18 months period assigned to the Internal Affairs Office for our agency.
It was found by our investigators that, of all complaints of police corruption & brutality that were lodged against our staff, over the preceding decade, that over 92% of those claims were not only FALSE but KNOWINGLY DISHONEST.
I remember specifically one case where a woman from Baltimore stated under oath that she had witnessed one of our uniformed officers beating a civilian with what she said "that looked like a piece of pipe, until he fell unmoving onto the sidewalk".
Mrs. D_______________ further stated that at that time that she was standing on her terrace & directly across the street & 3 floors above where the beating occurred".
The witness also stated that she could see the face of our officer clearly & picked his face from a "photo spread".
Investigation later determined that the witness could NOT have witnessed what she claimed that she had seen as there was a 8-story apartment house between the place where the incident happened & her balcony.
(Under questioning, she finally admitted that the "victim" was a friend of her stepsister's & that if she claimed to have seen the incident that "I just know that I'll be on television. & I might even get some money later when Paul wins his suit against th epolice." - The witness was indicted, tried, convicted & sentenced to 46 months confinement in a federal correctional facility for Criminal Perjury.)
Ever since that time, I've taken all such claims with a POUND of salt.
Yours, TMN78247
Those witnesses who lied about their observations should be charged for giving false testimony during a police investigation.
That revolver almost looks like it could be black powder,
It is a black powder replica. Cheap but it will still do some damage.
It was in Portland...
Its curious isn't it...where did this attitude come from that is so prevalent today.
"I have a fascination with 19th and early 20th century wheelguns."
Have you considered speaking to your doctor about an antifungal to clear that up? :P :D
Thank you. In my case it's a combination of professional training mixed with intense personal interest. I'm a retired law enforcement officer who was a firearms instructor and armorer. In addition I have a voracious apetite for history, specifically firearms history. And for the last 10 years I've been studying at the feet of the master, Ian McCollum of "forgotten weapons.com"
Memory is so cheap and batteries rechargeable, these days I dont know why you wouldnt activate the camera at the start of your shift and let it run all day.
The only thing I find disgusting is the number of shots fired and they couldn't turn his head into a canoe?

Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Martin Dixon lives a life of quietude and certainty. Having reached the age of almost 50, Martin has his job and his friend Ricky, his condo, a failed love affair in his past which continues to torment him (as he often tells others), and not much else. But he is content or at least he thinks he is. Martin has not kept in touch with his family since his coming out, so no one is more surprised than him when his 18 year old nephew, Carter, shows up unannounced on his doorstep. Carter is hungry, dirty, and in need of a place to stay and Carter intends that place to be with his Uncle Martin.
Martin doesn't know what to do. He hasn't seen his nephew since he was in the single digits and he has never been all that fond of kids, no matter whose they are. Then Martin finds out that his brother turned ultra Christian conservative and when Carter was discovered with another boy, Carter's parents turned him over to a mental hospital hoping to "cure" Carter of his "gayness". With that fact in his possession and his gay nephew eating in his kitchen, Martin knows he can't turn Carter away. But what is he to do with Carter, someone who has always been home schooled and kept away from society at large?
And the situation is further complicated because both uncle and nephew irritate the heck out of each other. But they are more alike than they know when each decides the way to the other's heart is to provide them with a boyfriend and romance. Can things get more complicated? Why yes, they certainly can!
How I wish I liked this book half as much as I love its cover. By all accounts, I should adore My Favorite Uncle. The premise is priceless…almost a guaranteed shoo in to my affections. The writing by Marshall Thornton? Wonderful. He has a way of writing snark that will have you smiling, the narrative flows with a rhythm that works with dry comedy and that cover? Hell to the yes, I am almost singing the Brady Bunch song just looking at it. So why the long face, girl, as they say? Well…that would be the characters who I like about as much as they like each other. And that's not a lot.
Basically Martin is an old codger at 50 (almost). His life is as dry as a Texas gulch in summer. He works on close captioning for a profession at home, he has a friend with whom he goes about a limited schedule of things he wants to do and places he wants to go. He's intelligent and semi happy with his life. And when his nephew pops up unannounced at his door, expecting sanctuary, or at least a shoulder to cry on and a place to live, Martin is profoundly unhappy. That's not the problem. Who would be thrilled under those circumstances? That's a typical human reaction to a stranger, albeit a relative, arriving needing help. Thornton even has Martin aware that his reaction to his nephew is as small hearted and cold as it appears to Carter and the readers. But this reaction continues throughout most of the story, and while I was waiting for Martin to warm up to Carter, I was equally aware that I was unable to warm up to Martin. I could understand his reactions and predicament. Martin didn't want his orderly life upset. Got it. I just couldn't find it in myself to like Martin who continued more out of guilt than a sense of compassion.
Carter too is a special case as far as a character goes. He's a naif who finds himself in a sort of gay Disneyland or in this case Long Beach. Want sex because everyone knows gay men have sex like a gazillion times a year? Get told to stand outside a gay bar at closing time and take your pick and do it! Carter's assumptions about what it means to be gay are both hilarious and sad. I really liked Carter. His unformed personality actually made sense. Thornton kept that persona true to a teenager isolated in a conservative Christian household (or any ultra religious household, doesn't matter what religion) where any connection to society and modern cultural milestones is kept at a minimum. His family's reaction to finding out Carter is gay? Send him off to a mental hospital to be "de gayed". How true and horrific that this continues to be legal. But that's another issue for me here. What happened to Carter is undercut by the manner in which it is brought up and brushed off for most of the story. Only towards the end does that segment of Carter's life get the appropriate attention. And by then its almost too late. But Carter is that character who won't be suppressed and he bounces back and right into the reader's heart.
Is this a light, dry comedy? Realistic family drama? Bit of both, as it should be. But for that to work in a story it has to flow seamlessly and realistically between the two, incorporating it into the plot as just one more thread amongst many in a tapestry. Instead both are highlighted here by the author's treatment and it feels more jumbled than a realistic messy whole.
I liked the end. All were family although not friends. Some things don't change. Never did enjoy being in Martin's company, I had hope for Carter and his furture, and liked his adopted group of friends/family. Ernesto, his mother, Ricky, and all the rest. That was nice and even familiar. That's how I feel about My Favorite Uncle. It was mostly nice, while parts of it were wonderful, consistently funny and dry. Other segments are so detached that the reader is kept at arm's length away from any emotional attachment to the characters and their fate.
If you need to feel intimately connected to characters and their stories, then the almost indifferent air to the narrative here might make My Favorite Uncle not the story for you. But if you find that fine writing, interesting characters, no matter how detached or impartial you might feel about them, and a terrific premise are all you need, then My Favorite Uncle is right up your Kindle! I will leave the choice up to you.

To Wither into the Truth
Though leaves are many, the root is one; Through all the lying days of my youthI swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.
-- W.B. Yeats, "The Coming of Wisdom with Time
I am not a studio photographer, but lately I have been picking wildflowers and bringing them indoors to shoot close up under a high-intensity beam of light using a macro lens. I learned I have to be quick about it, because wildflowers, unlike the kind you buy at the florist, will often wither in a day. Viewed at close range, they are so beautiful it is almost a crime to pick them. I console myself with the thought I am preserving them by taking their picture.·
Human beings, unlike wildflowers, do not wither in a day. But if truth be told, they are often far more interesting to photograph when they are long past their ostensible sell-by date. George Orwell once said that everyone has the face he deserves at age 50. By age 50 we have lost the baby fat, the effortless good looks, the bloom of youth; our true character – or lack thereof – has emerged. A lifetime is etched on that face, whether for good or for ill (most likely some of each). For a photographer, such a face is a gift.
The best portrait I ever took was of my father-in-law on his 100th birthday, and it was completely impromptu. He was sitting in his dining room gazing off into space, as magnificent as an Old Testament prophet. He was so deaf I don't even think he heard the shutter click as I shot him in profile. I have another picture of my own mother, taken in a nursing home on her 88th birthday. She had the thousand-yard stare typical of soldiers in combat and of patients who are far-gone in dementia. These obviously were not glamorous or flattering portraits, nor were they intended to be. But they were true in the sense that Hemingway used the word when he talked about striving to write one true sentence. Hemingway's best sentences were utterly without adornment or affectation of any kind. To photograph people the way Hemingway wrote sentences, you have to shoot them as they are and not as they wish to appear.
A portrait photographer seeking to get at the truth often finds himself dealing with an unwanted intruder who tries to get between the camera and his true subject. The intruder is the part of us that strikes a pose when a camera is pointed in our direction. Vanity doesn't really explain it – or at least not all of it, since plenty of people are the opposite of vain when it comes to having their picture taken. These are mostly people who have been told they are unattractive or who think they are no longer attractive. They might frown or otherwise make a face. My mother, who was beautiful when young, reached an age when she no longer wanted to have her picture taken at all. I have had people turn their backs on me when I pointed a camera at them.
Based on my experience photographing my beautiful young granddaughter, it appears people have already learned to strike poses by the age of two. Not coincidentally, this is also the age when children acquire a sense of self. Although we think of the self in individual terms, it cannot develop in isolation from others. Sociologist Charles Horton Cooley coined the term "looking-glass self" to describe how our identity is formed by imagining how we are perceived by others. What better way to learn how we appear to others than to see photographs of oneself? And unlike when I was growing up, we don't even have to send film away to be developed. The feedback is instantaneous.
One withers into the truth the same way Hemingway wrote sentences, by stripping away every adornment and affection and by leaving unsaid all that doesn't need to be said. You don't necessarily need to initiate such an undertaking. If you allow it, life will do that to you. Suffering will do that to you. By the time you have acquired the face you deserve, you should have been worn down to the nub of the real you. And if you find yourself still striking poses, then prepare to suffer some more.

I have a secret file that I keep on my computer. I know that makes me sound a bit like a CIA operative working on top secret missions. (I cannot confirm or deny this). Admittedly, I have a pretty good cover. A married mother of two who writes about Jesus, hangs out with cats, and moonlights for the government while wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt. You can't make this stuff up. Or, can you?
Anyway, back to reality. I have this file that I keep on my computer labeled "encouragement." I know you thought it was going to say "delusions of a Christian writer," but it doesn't. It simply reads encouragement. If you were to open it, you would find emails I saved from people who took the time to tell me how my writing touched them. I am not sure what compelled me to start it. (Maybe because I was consumed with self-doubt, terrified that the vulnerabilities I shared would humiliate myself and my family, and perhaps, worse of all, that I was leaving a paper trail of evidence supporting an extended stay in a mental health facility. You know, just your small, everyday concerns). When I would get an email of appreciation or encouragement, it made me feel less alone, braver, and best of all, that I was making a difference. I cherish them. Each kindness feels like a gift from God, encouragement made holy through the sacred gift of love in which it was made. Deleting them felt akin to throwing a fresh bouquet of flowers in the trash. I couldn't do it. So, I started my secret file, a hoarder of happy words.
Even now, it is hard to convey how strongly I believe in the power of encouragement. Genuine encouragement isn't just a platitude of politeness. It's a sincere sentiment that lets someone else know that what you're doing matters. They see you. They support you. They believe in you. I have been the beneficiary of this benevolence. The smallest kindnesses have carried me on dark days when defeat marched toward me like an anthem of doubt. Encouragement gave me the strength to keep going, to believe in myself, and to endure. The power of a few simple words did that for me and they can do that for anyone. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, we all need encouragement. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing," (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
We live in a busy world. Too often we forget the impact we have on other people's lives. We don't think that a few small words of acknowledgment make that much of a difference. We can't always see how others cherish our kindnesses. We don't always know that someone else files our words of encouragement on their computers and in their hearts. We may never know the extent to which a simple pause in our day to share love becomes an impetus for it to spread beyond what we will ever see.
When you understand the impact encouragement can have in spreading good in the world, it's hard to keep it a secret – even for the best CIA agent.
What ways have encouragement made a difference in your life?

The island of 70 square miles was discovered by the Spanish in 1499 but Aruba's first inhabitants are thought to have been hunters and fisherman from mainland South America. The Spanish and Dutch battled over Aruba for many years with the Dutch ruling the colony until 1986 when it was ruled a constituent country- a country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The official languages of Aruba are Dutch and Papiamento. Papiamento is a language made from words taken from Portuguese, West African languages, Dutch and Spanish. With a population of just over 100,000 people, Aruba economy is based primarily on tourism and tourism-related industries.

Bupa UK Foundation
The Bupa UK Foundation's mission is to help people live longer, healthier, happier lives. The Foundation's funding programmes are developed around clearly defined themes and reflect important factors that underpin health and wellbeing. Among others these include mental health, ageing well, managing long-term conditions, behaviour change and healthy living.
Each round will focus on a different theme and the 2018 one is Caring for our Carers. The Bupa UK Foundation selected this theme for 2018 in recognition of the fact that 'carers make a vital, hidden contribution to the health and wellbeing of the nation, yet they can often feel socially isolated, lacking support and a sense of community' and 'many carers report that caring has taken a toll on their own health'.
The maximum grant available is £20,000.
Projects awarded funding from the Bupa UK Foundation automatically receive an uplift of 15% of the level of funding awarded as a contribution to core costs.
Not-for-profit organisations, including social enterprises and community interest companies, based and operating in the UK can apply.
Partnership bids will be accepted as long as there is one clearly identified lead organisation that will take a central co-ordinating role to ensure the project is delivered as outlined.
Any application from a local or regional charity that is affiliated to a wider network, federation or organisation will only be accepted if the application has been submitted through the national office.
To be eligible, organisations must ensure their application fits the following criteria:
- They can clearly evidence a track record of engaging, working with and supporting carers
- Their project focuses on carers, rather than on those they care for. If carers are able to look after their own health, those they care for benefit too
- The project will support older carers (those aged over 65) directly and specifically
- The project aims to support or improve health and wellbeing. Applications will need to outline the difference the project is likely to make to people's health and wellbeing and how the applicant intends to measure this
In the 2018 funding programme, the Foundation is looking to support practical, community focused projects designed to help older carers to manage and improve their own health and wellbeing.
To be eligible, projects must:
- Meet the current funding focus
- Be clearly for public benefit
- Take place within the UK
- Be delivered within 12 to 18 months
There are three stages to the grant-making.
- Stage 1 – the summary information provided in the project outline by the applicant is reviewed
- Stage 2 – applications that most clearly fit the application criteria are then invited to submit more detailed information
- Stage 3 – a small number of applications will be considered by the Bupa UK Foundation's Board of Trustees, who make all final funding decisions
The deadline for applications is 5th October 2018.

Why You Want to Retain the Copyright in MP4646

|Hi All,
This is a great example of why you want to retain the copyright in your Matterport Spaces:
✓ I need help with up to 2,000 scans in the US
In this example above, if you own the copyright – and still have the model on your iPad - you might be able to get paid twice for the same Matterport Spaces 3D tours.
I am not a lawyer and I do not give legal advice.
For We Get Around Atlanta, we provide our clients with a license to use the Matterport Spaces 3D Tour for the term agreed. The client can use the Matterport Spaces 3D Tours – as they wish.
We do not provide a perpetual license. For 99 percent of the Matterport Spaces we have done, we have not transferred the copyright. Typically, all the client wants is the use the Matterport 3D Tour anyway.
My understanding - and again, I am not a lawyer and do not give legal advice - is that unless the photographer specifically assigns the copyright, the photographer owns the copyright.
(It may be possible to get Matterport to transfer the models from your account to another account, but I would not want to plan on that either always being an option or a free option.)
If you transfer the copyright to your clients, why?
What else? Why not retain the copyright for potential opportunities like this?

We Get Around Atlanta leaves the ownership/copyright out of any documents/email exchanges.
We take the position that we own the copyright, unless it is expressly transferred, which is my understanding of the copyright law. Again, I am not a lawyer and I do not give legal advice.

That's a TERRIFIC! question.
First, We Get Around curates a Form library. Access is free, when you contribute a Form ...
✓ 3D/VR/360 Photographers>Sample Forms Library
Second, We Get Around does not use a contract between us and our clients, with one exception, where the client provided the Agreement.
We only invoice the client after we have delivered everything and they are thrilled. We take the business risk of whether we will get paid - or not. In my [redacted] years in business, I have not gotten paid 2.5 times. I am willing to take the business risk in exchange for reducing friction to doing business. So, when a client (rarely) asks for our contract, we let them know we only invoice them AFTER everything has been delivered and they are thrilled (which makes their request go away.
In my previous life – TV/entertainment marketing - we had exceedingly long contracts provided by our clients that my in-house general counsel (my wife) would redline. She's very-busy with her day job and we don't want to tie her up for two seconds reviewing contracts, unless is is absolutely necessary. (I did have a potential client - that we declined - when they sent us a Masters Services Agreement (MSA) that was 23 pages long. (Really) The amount of potential business was not worth the onerous terms of this agreement (designed for big companies to do business with other big companies).
They worst thing that could happen is that we do not get paid. And, that has not happened with our We Get Around Atlanta scanning biz of 3D/VR/360º photography. The trust and respect we show gets answered with prompt payment.

The title of this essay addresses a topic so wide in scope that a few paragraphs will not do it justice. Yet is an important topic in which my colleagues and I on the Esri education sector team are deeply immersed and concerned. Through campus visits and daily interaction with educators at all levels, we gain valuable insight on the challenges faced by and successes achieved by a wide variety of educational institutions, worldwide, and, with the community, cultivate what we believe to be best practices for course and program planning as we forge into the decade of the 2020s. Why do we care? First, we believe that the significant challenges our world is facing (energy, water, human health, natural hazards, climate, population change, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture) are all spatial in nature and can be understood and solved through the application of GIS. Second, we believe that GIS is a key tool for 21st Century critical thinking, spatial thinking, and inquiry. Our aim is to encourage educators, curriculum developers, and program planners to continually re-evaluate their programs and courses and to share best practices so that students in these programs will receive relevant and meaningful instruction and will become the leaders of tomorrow in business, government, nonprofits, and academia.
As you are well aware from being someone interested in GIS in education and reading GeoNet essays, the combination of rapid change in the job market, student and societal expectations, goals and purposes of education, educational technology, and GIS itself, GIS courses and programs should naturally evolve as well to keep up with these changes. While some foundational tenets of GIS will always be with us (such as datums, data models, data quality), even these topics do not need to be taught, and I would argue should not be taught in the same way that they were 20 years ago, or indeed, even a few years ago. We have summarized some of the conversations we have had with educators in a set of documents about "what constitutes a modern GIS curriculum" on GeoNet, which we intend to keep updating, that you are welcome to comment upon. Core elements in this modern curriculum should include web GIS, GIS-as-a-service protocols and capabilities, APIs and SDKs, setting up and maintaining a GIS server including system architecture, field data collection and tools, 2D and 3D mapping, spatial analysis including big data analytics, using real-time services and the IoT, interior space mapping including BIM, visualization and cartography, web mapping applications (including configuring apps such as dashboards), communicating with GIS (including multimedia maps such as story maps and other means of geo-communications), and societal considerations (location privacy, data quality, ethics, crowdsourcing).
One new program that I believe exemplifies these tenets is that of the Location Intelligence Program at North Park University. Location Intelligence combines aspects of natural and technical sciences, along with business principles and the latest in spatial technology, with a focus on preparing students for a wide array of careers. The program, as is evident in the images below, is forward-thinking in its courses such as business communications, developing web apps, and spatial programming. The very title of the program, Location Intelligence, speaks to a focus of breaking out a traditional audience for GIS and appealing to a wider array of disciplines, including social work, health, and business. I have been pleased to work with the program since 2018, and developed and am teaching a course entitled The Art and Science of Map Design: Geo-Visualization. To find out more about the LOCI program at North Park University, see these web resources, this official video from the university, and my video about the LOCI 3100 course along with a set of weekly course videos. I look forward to reading your comments and I salute you instructors, deans, and provosts for thinking creatively about how to mold your program for the future. And for you students reading this--use this essay as a springboard in your search for the type of geospatial program that will best meet your needs.

For me, my creative journey has taken many twists and turns. I absolutely love exploring new aspects of creativity that may in some way affect what I am making and definitely relates to how I see the world around me. Since I posted about the death of Prince back in April my deep love of music has seen a resurgence and I find I am constantly seeking out how music and musicians play a role in my own journey as an artist.
I have followed U2 since the days of their New's Years Day video on MTV back in the 1980's and I have to say that they are really my all time favorite band. The video above is really interesting to watch because it goes through the process of the Edge picking and designing his new Fender guitar. Designing and making a musical instrument is one of the quintessential creative processes and what the musician is able to do with the instrument constantly amazes me.
Another place that we can look for inspiration is the acting profession. I know I may be biased with a son that is a theater major but as I have looked deeper I have grown ever more appreciative for what it takes to work as a professional actor on stage and screen. While on my injury hiatus, I came across Tanc Sade, an Australian actor who played Finn on the Gilmore Girls and is Christopher House in the upcoming Showtime series: Roadies. Somehow I started following Tanc first on instagram and then on twitter and became interested in his story because of the intense hours he was putting in to develop new skills.
Many creatives I know talk about how they love so many different things and cannot decide what they should pursue. After following Tanc, I can say keep exploring and do everything. This is what a creative journey is about; the learning, the growing, the hard work and the satisfaction of making something at the end that you can be proud of!
It has been refreshing for me to see a working actor share his story through social media that is NOT tabloid media. In the course of me following him (which has only been since March) he has learned to Tango, to play the piano, and to golf all in the name of having a passion for his craft – acting. Tanc is also a two time Australian National Freediving record holder, sings and plays guitar and is an incredible photographer. My photo above – which was taken over the Pacific Ocean in March was inspired by this one that he also took over the Pacific after spearfishing and freediving. Incidently, my photo has been the most liked photo ever in my instagram feed.
We can also take a personal branding/social media lesson from musicians and actors such as Tanc; he shares his story with humor, honesty and an enthusiastic look into his world. Sometimes, we get so intense about having a perfectly curated feed that we lose sight of the real story behind our brands – OURSELVES. Take a moment to look at your own brand and your social media – make sure you are sharing what truly makes you happy.
Creativity comes in many shapes and forms but there are many crossovers within each of our disciplines. When you get to that moment of creative block (and we all do) take a look at music, musicians, photographers, actors and design. You might just find some nugget of inspiration that will keep you moving forward in your own endeavours.
Have a great weekend! and enjoy the videos.

Something Id like to see is the ability to just outright skip a mode, instead of having to sit there and wait for it to expire if you dont want to engage in it
The example for me right now is Point Rain on the Clone Wars table. Every single time that mode gets started and I try to do something with it, I lose a ball. Ive learned to just try to trap it and wait the minute, but thats boring
The At At mode in Empire is even worse

Ben Lui
Ben Lui. The great hill of the Southern Highlands. The cradle of Scottish winter mountaineering. The symmetrical monarch of the Cononish Glen. Jokes aside this hill proved to be one of the really interesting ones even though we walked it under an almost continuously closed cover of clouds the base of which lingered at around 800 m. As the starting point we had opted for the parking of the lower station at Tyndrum. We walked along the forrest road on the low slopes of Sron nan Colan until we reached the junction with the land-rover track up Glen Cononish.
We passed the farm and continued up the glen up to the point where the land rover track turns into a path that crosses the Allt an Rund and heads up over steep ground into Coire Gaothach. Magnificent corrie even when the upper parts of Ben Lui's ridge are not visible. We continued up the bowl of the corrie and aimed left for the point in the skyline where the rocky North-East ridge becomes really steep above Stob an Tighe Aird. The weather not being really agreeable we decided not to climb to the summt directly but rather to cross the shallow corrie further east, climb its headwall and gain the easy ridge leading up to the summit all the way from the Ben Lui/Ben Oss col.
A little rain set in on the final metres before the summit but it subsided again. Sitting in the clouds at the summit cairn we had a snack and took in the few (rather vertical) views that could be had of Coire Gaothach below. We then followed the ridge to the second summit of Ben Lui and started our return walk down the north-west ridge which was steep on the first few hundred metres. Soon we reached the col before Stob Garbh and walked down the path into the corrie where the path back down to the Allt an Rund, Cononish farm and finally Tyndrum was regained. A grey day on a beautiful hill … [Read More]

Ethicon Physiomesh Lawsuits
By Jane Mundy
Lawsuits are being filed against the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon alleging its Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh is a defective product. The abdominal mesh, which is used in laparoscopic hernia surgeries, has been linked to higher than normal revision rates than other surgical hernia mesh products. Ethicon announced a Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh withdrawal after patients suffered numerous adverse hernia side effects, including hernia mesh revision surgery. Physiomesh lawyers are investigating Ethicon complaints nationwide, and an Ethicon Physiomesh class action lawsuit has been filed in Canada.
En Español ETHICON PYSHIOMESH
Send your Ethicon Physiomesh claim to a lawyer who will review your claim at NO COST or obligation.
The Physiomesh composite mesh was designed for use in laparoscopic hernia surgeries, including ventral and inguinal hernia repair. This surgical abdominal mesh is made of polypropylene, which has also been used in transvaginal mesh Symptoms of mesh failure include:
Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh
- recurrence of the hernia;
- bacterial infection—marked by fever and chills;
- pain or swelling at the operative site;
- , fluid-filled abscesses in the abdomen and groin;
- perforation of the organs or blood vessels.
In May 2016, the Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh products were withdrawn from the market by Ethicon after studies suggested the medical implants had higher failure rates than other mesh products available on the market. The mesh was recalled in other countries, but not the U.S. Ethicon gave medical professionals up to September 16, 2016, to return unused products for a full refund. According to the withdrawal issued by Ethicon, "The recurrence/reoperation rates (respectively) after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair using ETHICON PHYSIOMESH™ Composite Mesh were higher than the average rates of the comparator set of meshes among patients in these registries."
Ethicon Physiomesh Recall
The two studies involved unpublished data from a pair of European registries that found a discrepancy between Physiomesh flexible composite and the other meshes in the registries after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. In a letter to healthcare providers, the West Somerville, N.J.-based Ethicon believes higher revision rates are due to a "multifactorial issue," possibly including "product characteristics, operative and patient factors," but hasn't been able to pin down a cause.
Ethicon said that patients already implanted with the product should be followed as usual. The recall does not involve any other Ethicon meshes, including the Physiomesh Open flexible composite mesh.
(In June 2012, Ethicon removed four transvaginal meshes from the market- Prolift, ProliftM+, TVT Secur and Prosima Pelvic Floor Repair System, stating the products were removed for business reasons.)
The FDA states on its MAUDE adverse event report (December 2010) that the Physiomesh resulted in tears, rips, and holes. A hernia patient developed severe pain with a visible recurrence and bulging after hernia repair procedure and underwent a second laparoscopic procedure to remove the mesh. Another adverse event report (Apr 2011) submitted to the FDA says the mesh pulled away from the abdominal wall, resulting in a second surgery.
Ethicon Physiomesh and the FDA
Ethicon Physiomesh was approved by the FDA in March 2010. Here is the submission and approval , which doesn't require human clinical trials and does not require a premarket approval application (PMA), as longs as it can be demonstrated that the new product is substantially equivalent to another device that was previously approved by the FDA. (The FDA's 510(k) has a reputation for being easy, inexpensive, and less thorough.)
Ethicon told the FDA that its Flexible Composite Mesh met all testing criteria, demonstrated substantial equivalence to its predicate devices and did not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
An Ethicon Physiomesh study showed that the mesh has a much higher failure rate than other widely available hernia mesh products: 20 percent of Ethicon Physiomesh implants fail within six months of implantation, requiring patients to undergo hernia revision surgery. Further, with each surgery, scar tissue build-up makes every revision attempt less likely to succeed. This hernia mesh is more likely to cause adhesions, seromas, hemorrhage and lower tissue integration in patients.
Attorneys have filed lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson's subsidiary Ethicon concerning the Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh, alleging it causes higher than normal revision rates. As well, lawyers are investigating complaints from patients who claim they have suffered injuries by Physiomesh composite mesh.
Ethicon Physiomesh Lawsuits
The first physiomesh lawsuit was filed by Matthew Huff, just weeks before the mesh was withdrawn by the company, alleging that the hernia repair mesh was defective, unreasonably dangerous and not suitable for use. Huff developed severe abdominal pain, ever, chills, nausea and redness. He was treated for an infection and two abscesses and an intestinal fistula. The trial is set for January 2018 in the Southern District of Illinois. (Case No. 3:16-cv-00368-JPG-PMF)
A Florida woman in September 2016 filed a lawsuit following failed incisional hernia repair in May 2014 with Ethicon's Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh (Product Code PHY2025V). After hernia surgery, Joanne Quinn experienced persistent abdominal pain, diminished bowel motility and bowel obstruction. She underwent a revision surgery in July 2015 but the surgeon was unable to remove all of the allegedly defective material from her body. In the lawsuit, Quinn claims that she will likely suffer pain and medical complications for the rest of her life due to debris from the hernia patch that remains in her abdominal wall. She further claims that Physiomesh is made from materials that are not inert and that react to human tissues, placing patients at risk for chronic pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesions, intestinal blockage, mesh migration, mesh contraction and repeated surgery.

What's Next for Ethicon Hernia Mesh Lawsuits?
Atlanta, GA Judge Richard W. Story has now identified ten bellwether Ethicon Physiomesh lawsuits that will likely shape the multidistrict litigation pending in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia. Trials in these hernia mesh lawsuits are now scheduled to begin in April 2020. But there will be plenty to watch even before opening statements begin.
$80 Million Verdict in Ethicon Prolift Pelvic Mesh Lawsuit
Philadelphia, PA On May 17, a jury returned an $80 million verdict for Patricia and George Mesigian in their surgical mesh lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon. The award included $50 million in punitive damages and a record-setting $30 million in compensatory damages.

Abdominal Mesh Victim Prescribed Oxycontin--Could the Pain have been Avoided if Medical Devices were Tested?
April 10, 2019Tallahassee, FL: Shirley had abdominal mesh implanted following the resection of colon cancer. That was in 2008 and she has been in debilitating pain ever since. And taking Oxycodone to numb the crippling abdominal pain not only resulted in an addiction to opioids; she had to give up her job as a federal prison officer. Wait, it gets worse: her surgeon said all the mesh cannot be removed because it has eroded into her bowel.

I did my own research before my hernia surgery and couldn't believe that polypropylene was being used; anyone with a background in plastics knows that this material has limited strength and decomposes (like nylon) and tears. I chose a polyethylene mesh and never looked back. Nine years later I have had zero problems. Too many idiots in the industry; another reason I don't allow anyone else to make my medical decisions for me and I won't fly jets from companies that hire idiots who don't belong in place of experienced design engineers.
Disclosure: I engineer medical electronics where peoples lives are on the line. Too bad there are others in the engineering and design industry that don't have the brains or talent required.

The Experiential Learning Center
It's with GREAT excitement that we share this news- CYJ has officially broken ground on a new facility called the ELC or Experiential Learning Center.
The ELC will teach sustainable living through demonstration and embody the Jewish value of tikun olam (repairing the world). Using the latest environmentally-friendly materials and techniques, the building will be designed to showcase these assets through interactive exhibits for some 5,000 retreat participants and 750 summer campers and staff each year.
Interactive exhibits will include rainwater harvesting, alternate energy sources and conservation, a wild flower green roof, and sustainable living. The exhibits will enable self-exploration for individuals and groups (similar to a museum) and educational programs will be available for visitors and campers to develop a deeper understanding of each topic, including video and other technological enhancements. In line with CYJ's focus on Israel, each exhibit will reflect strides taken in Israel to protect nature and lessen our impact on the environment.
The ELC will provide programming space for multiple groups of campers or year-round visitors to use simultaneously. Indoor space will include a large activity room will also accommodate 200 people, a canteen (yes, the canteen is back at CYJ after 25 years!), two multipurpose rooms for up to 50 people, and a lounge-style room for up to 75 people. The large room will also have an ark built into the wall so it can be used for t'fillot (services). Through carefully construction, existing oak trees will be preserved to create naturally-shaded areas for outdoor gathering spaces as well. We envision the ELC to one of the highlights of visiting CYJ, with a reputation for fun programs and cutting-edge exhibits that relate directly to our core Jewish values and showcase Israeli initiatives.
This building comes on the heels of other recent efforts to forge a stronger connection between CYJ's visitors and campers with nature. In 2011, the CYJ Garden was established, and is now used year-round by local school groups, and is a popular summer activity for campers. Vegetables and herbs harvested throughout the summer are used for Shabbat meals and to make tea. Last year, we also retro-fitted the fluorescent bulbs throughout the Bar-Yadin Beit-Ha'am (main building) with energy-conserving LCD bulbs and fixtures.
CYJ's Experiential Learning Center is a ground-breaking initiative that will change the way future construction is considered at CYJ and other summer camps and Jewish institution will be inspired by our innovation. We have eliminated the traditional silos of "construction" and "education" and are bringing together a diverse group to create a building that, by design, is educational.

Suboptimal, inconsistent treatment for anaphylaxis when the cause is unknown
A new C-CARE study is shedding light on "anaphylaxis due to an unknown trigger" (AUT), a medical condition about which surprisingly little is known.
The study, published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, followed nearly 4,000 cases of anaphylaxis seen in Canadian emergency departments from 2011 to 2018.
"In our study, the cause of 7.5 percent of the anaphylaxis cases was unknown. We found that the treatment and follow up of AUT were suboptimal and inconsistent both inside and outside of the hospital," says AllerGen researcher Dr. Moshe Ben-Shoshan.
"The underuse of epinephrine and the low rates of referral to an allergist, mainly in adults experiencing AUT, highlight the need for clear AUT treatment guidelines and educational programs for diagnosis and management."
This is the first longitudinal, large-scale study to assess the clinical characteristics, treatment, and follow-up management of AUT cases across Canada. It is part the national project and database supported by AllerGen, the Cross-Canada Anaphylaxis Registry (C-CARE).

Look at the Record Number of Whales in Cape Cod
In April 2017, Cape Cod saw a record number of endangered Northern Atlantic Right Whales swimming in the harbor. Whale watching enthusiasts, tourists, and locals were all granted a once-in-a-lifetime show for several weeks while the whales swam through the harbor. Continue reading to learn more about this amazing sight.
As seen in the short video, this rare and record-breaking sight is a great boon for whale watchers and scientists around the world, because it offers a unique opportunity to study these endangered whales. Over a hundred of these whales—about one-fifth of the entire population—were spotted in one day, and they continued to be spotted for weeks afterward.
Experience moments like these and so much more while whale watching with Captain John Boats. We also offer fishing charters, deep sea fishing excursions, and humpback whale watching in Plymouth . Please call us at (508) 927-5575 for more information.
Look at These Rare Fish Swimming Around P-Town's Harbor
If you are leaving on the P-Town Fast Ferry or starting out on a deep sea fishing tour, then keep an eye out for rare fish you may not see anywhere else. Black sea bass, Atlantic sturgeon, and shortnose sturgeon are just a few rare fish that might be hiding along Cape Cod's coast. Read on for a better look at these rarely-seen fish.
- Black sea bass are commonly found south of Cape Cod. However, these fish are migratory and will often arrive in Cape Cod during late spring.
- Atlantic sturgeon will spawn in freshwater. However, they will spend most of their lives in coastal habitats.
- Shortnose sturgeon are often confused with Atlantic sturgeon, though its mouth is much wider than the Atlantic species. Shortnose also spawn in freshwater, but they can be found in saltwater habitats during the winter.
See these amazing fish and so much more when you choose Captain John Boats. We run fishing charters, whale watching excursions, and the P-Town Fast Ferry in Plymouth. We are available to answer your questions and make reservations at (508) 927-5575.
What Are the Most Important Items to Bring on the Open Sea?
When you are going deep sea fishing or whale watching, there are certain items you need to keep yourself safe on the water. Water bottles, sun protection, and any required medications should be with you throughout your entire deep sea fishing trip. Here is a list of the most important items you will need while out on the open sea:
Required Medications
If you have certain medications that require you to take them during your deep sea fishing excursion, then make sure these are on you at all times. Consider setting an alarm on your phone or watch to remind you when to take your medication, because time can pass quickly while having fun on the open sea . If you experience seasickness or motion sickness, then bring the proper medications or products to prevent sickness.
Smart Clothing
Wear clothing that is okay to get wet, stained, or dirty. Choose sturdy shoes that will not slip on a wet boat deck and will support you for several hours of standing. Bring layers of clothing as well, because the wind may pick up and temperatures may drop the farther out your fishing charter travels.
Sun Protection
Keep your skin and eyes protected from sun damage while deep sea fishing. The sun will reflect off of the water, and you may have a bad sunburn or heat exhaustion at the end of your trip. Wear a light, long-sleeved shirt to protect your arms and shoulders. Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes. Put sunscreen on your face and any exposed skin.
Water Bottle
It is extremely important to stay hydrated while out on the open sea. The wind and saltwater can cause you to dehydrate quicker, so keep a refillable water bottle with you at all times.
Choose Captain John Boats for your deep sea fishing near Plymouth. We run fishing charters and whale watching tours on a daily basis, and our crew is the best on the ocean. Please call us at (508) 927-5575 to reserve a charter.
