The U.S. seafood catch reached a 17-year high last year, with all fishing regions of the country showing increases in both the volume and value of their harvests.
Commercial fishermen last year caught 10.1 billion pounds of fish and shellfish valued at a record $5.3 billion, according to a report released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That�s a 23 percent increase in catch by weight and a 17 percent increase in value over 2010.
New Bedford, Mass., was the highest-valued port for the 12th straight year, due largely to its scallop fishery. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was the No. 1 port for seafood volume for the 15th year in a row.
The increases are evidence that fish populations are rebuilding, said Sam Rauch, deputy assistant administrator for NOAA�s Fisheries Service.
Still, a number of fisheries are in trouble. The Department of Commerce has declared disasters for cod and other so-called groundfish in New England, oyster and blue crab fisheries in Mississippi, and chinook salmon in Alaska�s Yukon and Kuskokwin rivers.
�Overall nationally, the numbers are very good news,� Rauch said. �But we don�t want to miss the fact that there are parts of the industry that are or soon will be suffering economic pain.�
Alaska led all states by far in catch volume, with 5.4 billion pounds, followed by Louisiana, California, Virginia and Washington, according to the report. Alaska was also tops in the value of its catch, at $1.9 billion, followed by Massachusetts, Maine, Louisiana and Washington.
Fishermen brought 706 million pounds of product to Dutch Harbor, the leading port by volume.
Meanwhile, New Bedford, the top port by value, had $369 million worth of seafood cross its docks.

Protestors Bring Down Confederate Statue at University of North Carolina
Monday night was full of chaos at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill where hundreds of protesting students brought down the controversial Silent Sam, a Confederate statue.
The protesters started gathering around the statue in the evening, asking the university officials to erect an alternative monument, saying the installed one was signifying white supremacy.
The statue was toppled to the ground late in the evening, amid tensions between police and protestors.
University chancellor Carol L. Folt condemned the incident calling the actions of protestors "unlawful and dangerous."
"A group from among an estimated crowd of 250 protesters brought down the Confederate Monument on our campus last night," Folt said in a statement. "Last night's actions were unlawful and dangerous, and we are very fortunate that no one was injured."
"The monument has been divisive for years, and its presence has been a source of frustration for many people not only on our campus but throughout the community," she added.
The statue, which was erected in 1913, was given by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1909 and has been a subject of controversy and protests in last few years.
Meanwhile, the police are investigating vandalism and the extent of damage.

Kernel for Ubuntu 64 bit
@george1421 Not that I am aware of. I can try a laptop Dell E7240
and post results.
@Tom This one is now interesting, it goes without saying that this system should not cause the kernel to panic. This is an older and stable system. It worked with fog 0.31 and that kernel (understand that 0.31 kernel was almost 8 years old).
Can you say that all 990s are doing this or is it just then one system? This question is leading in that is the kernel not compatible with this model or is there something wrong with the hardware specifically on THIS unit.
@george1421 Fog version 6179
Booting in bios mode, Bios is up to date.
Before I had fog 3.1 on Ubuntu 10.1 - there were no issues.
Thank you for your patience.
@Tom Lets make sure we are on the same page here. Your FOG is update to date. What is the number on the cloud on the fog management gui?
What is actually having the kernel panic is a Dell 990, which is somewhat old. Its on par with the Optiplex 790. I can say (from my experience) that the 790s boot without issue.
Are you booting these 990s in BIOS mode or efi? This generation of desktops were the first with EFI mode.
Has the bios been updated on this 990 since it was purchased?
Have you used or booted FOG before on this system or any other target computer at your location?
@Tom-Elliott The target machine is physical OptiPlex 990. Fog is VM.
Not sure how to proceed?
Tom Elliott Senior Developer last edited by
@Tom change the VM OS food using Windows 7 32-bit
@Tom-Elliott Yes
Sebastian Roth Senior Developer last edited by
Please run
ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init* ; ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*on your FOG server and post the output here.
Tom Elliott Senior Developer last edited by
@Tom is the panicking system a VM?
@george1421 Yey, my fog is up to date. I'm still getting kernel panic - not syncing.
What can I do?
@Tom Nope thats right, except you would do that typically from svn/trunk then run the svn up command, if it is current then it will tell you latest version. Once the svn has been download you change to svn/trunk/bin and run the installer again in that directory. That will update the main fog software on your server.
Just running the
svn upcommand, just downloads the updated install files from svn. You still need to install the update.
@george1421 Here is what I've done:
Navigated to svn/trunk/bin
then svn up
it says at revision 4754 - which is stated as the latest svn version.
What am I doing wrong?
george1421 Moderator last edited by
@Tom Once you do the svn up command then you need to change to the bin folder and run ./installfog.sh (or what ever the installer is titled, long day short on brain juice). You will run through the fog install again, but all of the questions will be answered. You may have to key in a url to update the database if required.
If you refer to the numbers in the cloud on the fog management page that should be consistent with the git number. SVN was down for a while so the numbers got out of sync.
Thank you all,
First, the target is Dell OptiPlex 990.
Here is my confusion: I installed the trunk svn from the link that is on wiki. When checking fog configuration it states:
You are currently running version: 6098
Latest stable version is 1.2.0
Latest svn version is 4754
Latest git version is 6179
if I installed the svn version, should it say 4754?
I tried the SVN UP command (found on wiki), and I did not get upgraded.
Can someone please can clarify this and provide instructions how to upgrade?
george1421 Moderator last edited by
@Tom said:
@george1421Thank you, it shows 6098, I will try to upgrade
Also please indicate what target computer you are working with both make and model.
Sebastian Roth Senior Developer last edited by
FOG comes with 32 and 64 bit kernel for the clients. No need to build your own - usually. The kernel panic you see usually occurs when the initrd file was not properly downloaded with the installer script. Try upgrading to the latest and keep an eye on the output when running the installer. It should say "Downloading kernel, init…" somewhere. Hope this time those are loaded properly.
@george1421Thank you, it shows 6098, I will try to upgrade
What target system are you trying to quick register?
I'd have to check to see if you are on a current version or not. I thought the numbers were higher than 6098.
I just refreshed by dev system and 6179 is what is in the cloud on the FOG management gui page.

Take care, curious readers, for plot spoilers gallop rampantly throughout the Two Guys' insightful reviews. Therefore, be warned, beware, and read on when you're ready to be transported to … wherever we end up. Please protect your eyes from the dazzling brilliance.

South African Anti-Apartheid Activist Albie Sachs to Speak about Nelson Mandela at UM-Flint
Albie Sachs, an internationally recognized rights activist and co-author of South Africa's Constitution, will speak on "Nelson Mandela as a Leader, Comrade, and Friend" at a June 4 public event in Flint.
Sachs will speak at 6 p.m. in the Michigan Rooms of the Harding Mott University Center on the University of Michigan-Flint campus. Seating will open at 5:30 p.m. Sachs will sign copies of his books, which will be for sale from Barnes & Noble after the presentation.
The event is co-sponsored by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the University of Michigan-Flint. The event is free and open to the public. To reserve a seat, contact the Office of University Relations at the University of Michigan-Flint at 810-237-6570.
Sachs, 78, was maimed in a car bomb while working with African National Congress (ANC) leaders in exile. He went on to negotiate South Africa's peaceful transition from the apartheid system to a constitutional democracy in the 1990s and served for 15 years on the Constitutional Court, the country's highest court.
"The Mott Foundation is honored to host a man who has made such a significant impact on world history," said Mott Foundation President William S. White. "Albie Sachs is a hero of the anti-apartheid movement and a leader of South Africa's democratic revolution. Furthermore, he is an internationally acclaimed human rights activist who has faced and overcome great danger in his lifelong crusade for equality and justice. Since the first stirrings of democracy in South Africa in the 1980s, the Mott Foundation has funded programs that encourage democratic participation and human rights, areas in which Justice Sachs has always played a vital role."
As a lawyer defending the rights of black South Africans in the 1950s and '60s, Sachs frequently was targeted for retribution by the white-controlled government. He once was sentenced to solitary confinement for six months without a trial before being exiled for 24 years. In Mozambique in 1988, a car bomb planted by South African security agents left him without his right arm and blind in one eye. Three years later he published "The Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter" describing his long path to recovery.
While in exile, Sachs worked with the ANC's Constitutional Committee writing South Africa's current constitution, one of the world's most progressive. Among the constitutional innovations he advocated were equal access to housing, water, health care, and a clean environment.
"The whole achievement of our wonderful new democratic constitution is soft vengeance," Sachs said in 2011 interview. "It totally smites the horror, the division, the hatreds, the separations of apartheid but—it does so in a way that is benign and creative and humanizing. It's a far more profound vengeance than doing to them what they did to us."
Sachs has written nearly a dozen legal and biographical books, including "The Jail Diary of Albie Sachs" (1966), which was dramatized by the BBC; "Sexism and the Law" (1979); and "The Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter," the recently updated memoir which won South Africa's top prize for non-fiction in 1991.
"The historical contributions of Justice Albie Sachs are an important lesson for our students and the community," said Chancellor Ruth J. Person. "The particular challenges Sachs overcame to help his country transition to a post-apartheid nation are of great interest to our campus, and offer us the opportunity for dialogue on the issues of social justice that are so relevant today. We are grateful for the partnership of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to make possible the visit of a significant figure of peace and progress at the University of Michigan-Flint."
The Mott Foundation made its first grant in South Africa in 1988. The Foundation continues to support programs there that give the poor access to social justice in order to reduce poverty and encourage self-reliance.
The Mott Foundation, established in 1926 by an automotive pioneer, is a private philanthropy committed to supporting projects that promote a just, equitable and sustainable society. It supports nonprofit programs throughout the U.S. and, on a limited geographic basis, internationally. Grantmaking is focused in four programs: Civil Society, Environment, Flint Area and Pathways Out of Poverty. Besides Flint, offices are located in metropolitan Detroit, Johannesburg (South Africa) and London. The Foundation, with 2012 year-end assets of $2.28 billion, made 439 grants totaling $91 million.

- Jorts are still in style.
- Local Natives are the best band in Austin.
- The Mother Hips are the best time in Austin.
- Our friend took a leak last night and slept walked out the door. We were passed out, so he had to walk to the front desk in boxer briefs to ask for a key at 4am. They asked for and ID. He doesn't carry one in his ass crack, so he was escorted by two security guards to our room.
- It's way more crowded here this year and way tougher to get into night showcases without a badge. SxSW seems to be tightening up, to the detriment of fans. We have been denied entry to small label showcases that were empty (even after bribes). Very different from last year.
- Our party is tomorrow. Will be great to meet readers and friends.

FINAL: Indiana 7, Michigan State 0. Joey DeNato earns his 8th win. Nolden goes 2-for-3 with 4 RBIs. Ramos hit a 2-run homer and finished with 3 RBIs.
Top 9th: Thomas Belcher allows a two-out infield hit, followed by a walk. But he gets out of it with a liner to DeMuth to end it.
Bottom 8: An RBI single from Will Nolden boosts Indiana lead to 7-0. That's four RBIs for Nolden. Yes, all seven IU RBIs have come between Nolden and Ramos. Thomas Belcher will relieve DeNato in the ninth.
Top 8: DeNato strands a runner on third base after another strong inning. He's through eight complete after throwing 113 pitches, 75 for strikes.
Bottom 7th: Quick inning for Indiana, which sees O'Conner, Rodrigue and Schwarber go down in order.
Top 7th: Joey DeNato gets out of the seventh with a 5-4-3 double play. With the first out in the inning, DeNato became Indiana's all-time innings leader with 322 1/3. He has thrown 88 pitches, 61 for strikes. He may be done. Thomas Belcher is warming in the bullpen.
Bottom 6th: Indiana chases Mick VanVossen and adds another run in the bottom half. VanVossen walked Donley and DeMuth to lead off the frame before Hartong moved them both into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt to the right side. Nolden followed with a sac-fly to center that brought home Donley for IU's sixth run. Hoosiers lead, 6-0, entering the seveht. DeNato back on the hill.
Top 6th: DeNato yields a one-out single, but it doesn't amount to much. The senior southpaw is through six complete. He's thrown 81 pitches, 56 strikes. Hoosiers still lead, 5-0.
Bottom 5th: A strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play ends the inning for Indiana. Sam Travis with the swing and the miss before Kyle Schwarber gets caught going for second. Indiana leads, 5-0, heading into the sixth.
Top 5th: DeNato yielded a pair of singles in the inning, but didn't get burned. After Joel Fisher led off the inning with a base hit, DeNato picked him off first for his seventh pickoff of the season. Justin Hovis followed with a two-out single before DeNato induced Anthony Cheky into a groundout to second to end the inning. Hoosiers lead, 5-0.
Bottom 4th: Nick Ramos went opposite field for a two-run home to right field to extend Indiana's lead to 5-0. That was Ramos' first home run of the season and sixth of his career.
Top 4th: After a shaky start, Joey DeNato has retired nine in a row for Indiana. Really settling in now. His pitch count sits at 52 pitches, 34 strikes. Hoosiers lead 3-0.
Bottom 3rd: Kyle Schwarber smacked a one-out double down the right field line and stole third. But a line out by Sam Travis and a fly out by Scott Donley strand Schwarber at third base. After three innings, Indiana leads 3-0.
Top 3rd: Quick and easy top of the third inning for DeNato, who needed only nine pitches to sit down the Spartans 3 up, 3 down.
Bottom 2nd: Hoosiers put three on the board against VanVossen thanks to a two-run triple that rolled to the wall in right centerfield. Nick Ramos brought Nolden in moments later on a groundout to the right side. It all came after Scott Donely and Brad Hartong opened the inning with singles. Hoosiers up, 3-0.
Top 2nd: Cam Gibson leads off the inning with a single before stealing second. But DeNato gets a fly out and back-to-back strikeouts to escape the inning unscather. 0-0.
Bottom 1st: Three up, three down in a quick bottom half for Indiana. 0-0.
Top 1st: Bit of a hairy start for Joey DeNato, who struggled to hit his spots for most of the inning. But also credit the Spartans for putting together a couple quality at-bats. DeNato loaded the bases with one out before getting out No. 2 on a strikeout. Kyle Schwarber bailed him out moments later by picking off Blaise Salter, who came to far off the bag at third on a squeeze attempt. 25 pitches for DeNato, 12 strikes. 0-0.
PREGAME: It's back to Big Ten play for No. 18 Indiana, which hosts Michigan State at Bart Kaufman Field at 7:05 tonight. The Hoosiers have won 10 of their last 11 on the heels of a walk-off win Wednesday vs. Western Kentucky. Left-hander Joey DeNato will take the mound tonight for IU, sitting only six innings shy of tying Indiana's career record for innings pitched. He set program records for career strikeouts (257) and wins (31) last Friday against Morehead State.
Also of note, Kyle Schwarber enters the weekend with a 14-game hitting streak. Dustin DeMuth has reached base safely in each of his last 30 games.

Press reporter Tom Corrigan has been more than fair in reporting public comments made at the City Council meetings concerning the current Issaquah Senior Center contractor, who has received over $500,000 of taxpayers' money to provide senior programs in a rent-free city facility.
In late June, longtime active volunteers and senior center members who were banned spoke about the police-issued no-trespass orders served to them, and asked the city for copies of 501c3 IRS 1099 as well as other fiscal documents that were refused to them by the center's director. Read more

NEW — 1:06 p.m. Jan. 5, 2016
In an attempt to fill this space, I was planning on writing something sarcastic and perhaps vaguely funny about the pointlessness of New Year's resolutions — how they are a waste of time and effort and so on. It is still early enough in the year to opine about those, no?
In search of a little inspiration, I made what turned out to be a couple of quick Google searches on the topic of resolutions. After looking at maybe two or three pages, I came across the following quote from Neil Gaiman, and everything just sort of fell apart.
"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."
Now, I don't know if you know who Neil Gaiman is, but being a sci-fi/fantasy geek, I know him as a writer who ranks as the left hand of the Almighty. But even if I'd never heard of him, my column idea would still have died a sudden death. Gaiman's quote was not only better than anything else I'd found on the topic, it was also one of those things I wish I'd written. The quote is just so right, even if he's not referring directly to New Year's resolutions, it's embarrassing that I wanted to write about how stupid they are. Read more
Special thanks to our letter writers of 2015
December 29, 2015
NEW — 1:54 p.m. Dec. 29, 2015
We'd like to take a moment to salute those people who took the time to write a letter to the editor in 2015. Their written voice provokes, challenges, encourages and thereby builds a stronger community for us all. We aren't able to publish every letter we received, but here's a list of the 114 authors, in alphabetical order, who did get ink in 136 letters this year. Read more
To the Editor — A second marijuana license for Issaquah smells fishy
December 29, 2015
NEW — 1:53 p.m. Dec. 29, 2015
The state, using its wise thoughts, has decided to allow another outlet in Issaquah to spread the pot around. The state says it wants to ensure medical pot is more available for medical patients. If that was true, why did the state not allow more outlets for medical patients before pot was approved in Washington state, breaking federal law? Do you think maybe the pot lobbyists have gotten to the state board members to get more pot outlets in the state?

To the Editor — Students better served with time-management classes
December 29, 2015
NEW — 1:52 p.m. Dec. 29, 2015
Change is good, but a change in start times is not an effective way to help students be less tired. A more effective solution is to offer classes that teach time-management skills.
Common sense tells us later bell times mean students will stay up later at night. Those that think differently are those that like to sleep in. Two of my three Issaquah High children had a hard time getting up. Changing the bell time would not have made them any less tired.
My youngest daughter, who now attends Green River College, proved this just last week. Normally, she gets to bed around midnight to get to an 8 a.m. class totally exhausted. Last week, I saw her still up at 2 a.m. When I asked her why she was still up, she said, "My 8 a.m. class was canceled, so I don't have to be to school till 9."
For those of you that know the French expression "plus ça change," it fits perfectly here. Translation: The more things change, the more it stays the same. Change the start time and the kids will still be tired. Read more
Off The Press — Look for beauty hiding beneath life's ugly dilemmas
December 29, 2015
NEW — 1:51 p.m. Dec. 29, 2015
'Twas the night before the night before Christmas as I write this, and running through my mind are thoughts of a man I met only once.
Last spring, I was at a Seattle sports bar before a Sounders FC match. It's not uncommon for me to interact with strangers at this particular place, but up until this day it was a foreign concept to have any sort of deep, meaningful conversation with someone about anything except soccer.
I sat down at the bar, ordered a beer and began monkeying around on my phone. It's pretty typical behavior to casually ignore everyone around us in these situations, which I often feel guilty for. We miss face-to-face connections that can be valuable, even if they're oh-so-very brief.
The man next to me started asking questions about the Sounders. I politely answered while mentally assessing his appearance — shabby clothes, stubbly beard, large backpack. He introduced himself as Louie and we shook hands. I quickly learned he was homeless. Read more
Off The Press — There are two sides to Christmas Day
December 22, 2015
NEW — 12:39 p.m. Dec. 22, 2015
Christmas is not always a great holiday for all people, is it?
For instance, today, Christmas Eve, is the third anniversary of the passing of Issaquah Press Sports Editor Bob Taylor. Not only does it still ring a somber note in our newsroom but surely will always color the holiday in a darker hue for his wife and adult son.
And that's minor in comparison to San Bernardino, Calif., where the families of 14 killed and more than 20 wounded will be struggling with the pain and loss of an attack only three weeks old. The Paris terror attack is only six weeks ago on Christmas Day tomorrow. Read more
To the Editor — Many words can describe Rep. Rodne's comments
December 22, 2015
NEW — 12:28 p.m. Dec. 22, 2015
Unbelievable. I have just become aware of Rep. Jay Rodne's despicable, bigoted, racist, uninformed comments on his Facebook page. Thank you for republishing The Seattle Times' article by Lynn Thompson. How can anyone vote for a legislator who posts remarks full of hatred, misspellings, epithets and lies? From personal experience, he skulks out the back door to avoid meeting with constituents who hold different views than he, even when an appointment has been made. His claim to represent all the people of the 5th District is pathetic. He certainly does not represent me.

Miss Melinda's 2020 New Year Forecast
Item Description
★Available at this price for a limited time★
This Reading consists of a 6 card Spread which I have designed specifically for the purpose of Forecasting your general outlook for 2020!
My New Year Reading covers all major areas of your life: Finance & Career, Love & Relationships, Spiritual Guidance & Self Growth in the coming year.
This Reading does not pertain to one particular question or topic, but instead offers you an overview of the major areas of your life and what is coming up ahead. Start your New Year right with a forecast to help map the way! You will receive a detailed report offering in-depth guidance and insight to prepare you for the year ahead. Allow me to assist you with tackling life's twists and turns. The New Year brings a fresh start and you will be ready to start off on the right foot!
About my Readings
During readings I tune into Spiritual Guidance and channel information and messages for you.
In a tarot reading you may not always get the answers that you want, but you will get the information you need from Spirit.
My readings come from a spiritual perspective and often reflect where you are in your journey of growth and development. Often they pertain to the present, as Spirit leads us toward working for a better future. When interpreting future events it is always important to keep in mind that nothing is ever set in stone. Spirit will show us our possible outcomes if we are to continue on our current path. Spirit will also show us other possible paths and possible outcomes, making suggestions for personal and spiritual growth which offer us better futures.
Don't forget, fate is not set in stone! Destiny is something we are creating with each decision day by day. Spiritual guidance shows us options for our outcomes and makes suggestions for ways in which we can improve ourselves and our futures, it does not show us a fate that is set in stone.

Today I went on a canoe trip with my small group from church. There were 10 of us that travelled to Indiana to mosey down a river together. The water was very low, so sometimes, moseying really meant getting out of the canoe and walking to the next part of deeper water. It was a lot of fun. I didn't mention the trip to a lot of people beforehand because I knew all the teasing I would get. I'll agree that it's not my usual choice for a Saturday exursion. But I love my small group and I was up for the adventure from day one. Originally Alyssa and I were going to be partners. Until we realized that neither of us have been canoeing. Well, technically, I've been in a canoe before, but I just sat in the middle while two other people rowed the boat. I had the great fortune of partnering with Diane. I must say, I probably made her work too hard. I just paddled however I wanted to and she did all the steering from the back. But it worked. And I think she enjoyed the trip with me. Here are a few pictures from the trip. Unfortunately I was the only one with a camera, so there is no visual proof that I was on this trip with everyone else. But I promise I was the photographer!
The moral of the story: I would go again. And I picked a great group to go merrily down the stream with.

A BETTER MAN: A fresh and nuanced look at the healing and revelation for domestic violence victims that can happen for everyone involved when men take responsibility for their abuse.
The screening will be followed by a panel on domestic violence moderated by members of API Chaya and a discussion of the impact of #MeToo on the SA community.
Film Description
A Better Man
63 mins || English || Canada || 2017
Illuminating a unique paradigm for domestic-violence prevention, A Better Man offers a fresh and nuanced look at the healing and revelation that can happen for everyone involved when men take responsibility for their abuse. It also empowers audience members to play new roles in challenging domestic violence, whether it's in their own relationships or as part of a broader movement for social change.
Directors' Bio
ATTIYA KHAN (Co-Writer, Co-Director) is a Toronto-based feminist, intimate partner violence survivor, and long-time advocate and counselor for abused women and children. Attiya conceived the idea for A Better Man in 2012, drawing on her personal and professional experience with intimate partner violence. Attiya has worked in women's shelters in Canada and the United States, including running the Child and Youth Services Program at Transition House in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She also worked at YWCA Toronto, supporting the communications and advocacy team, managing a training program on crisis intervention, and administering the December 6th Fund, which offers interest-free loans to women fleeing domestic violence. As a writer, activist, and speaker, she has presented at numerous events and conferences related to domestic violence. Together with her family, she recently co-founded a YWCA Toronto scholarship program for domestic violence survivors.
LAWRENCE JACKMAN (Co-Writer, Co-Director, Editor) is a Toronto-based filmmaker. Over the past 15 years, he has worked on many award-winning films, focusing primarily on independent documentaries and dramas. He often works as an editorial consultant and has a long-standing association with the NFB in this role. Jackman has experience working at critical stages to creatively and structurally bring films to completion. Both as an editor and a director, he is interested in creative storytelling and pushing genre boundaries. In 2011, he directed How Does It Feel, a documentary musical about the importance of creative fulfillment that tells the story of a singer with cerebral palsy.

For centuries Britain has been an outward-looking nation."London (ANTARA News) - Prince William on Tuesday said that Britains tradition of international cooperation was "essential" to its security, in a speech interpreted by British media as supporting its continued membership of the European Union (EU).
The prince, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, spoke at the Foreign Office as Prime Minister David Cameron met with European chiefs in Brussels before a summit this week where he hopes to secure reforms before an in/out referendum on Britains membership expected this year.
"For centuries Britain has been an outward-looking nation," said the prince. "We have a long, proud tradition of seeking out allies and partners."
"Weve always sought to explore what is beyond the horizon, that sense of mission and curiosity is something I know continues to drive our economy... armed forces and diplomatic services.
"Our ability to unite in common action with other nations is essential, it is the bedrock of our security and prosperity," Reuters quoted.
A spokesman for his Kensington Palace office insisted of the speech: "This was not about Europe."
The royal family does not usually intervene in political issues due to its constitutional position but has been known to issue carefully worded pronouncements on sensitive issues.
Before the 2014 referendum on whether Scotland would remain part of the United Kingdom, the queen said people should "think very carefully" about their decision while chatting to members of the public.
It later emerged that her words were agreed by her private secretary and the head of Britains civil service.
Cameron held talks with European Parliament chief Martin Schulz on Tuesday to drum up support for his controversial reform agenda ahead of a crunch summit Thursday and Friday.

At high school meet's, however, it's less common. Much less common, in fact. It had never happened before until yesterday's prelims of the Illinois High School State Championships, when Winnetka's New Trier High School broke the National Mark with a 2:59.76.
The group of Sam Skinner, Reed Malone, Jack Mangan, and Max Grodecki broke through the barrier at Evanston High School. They also broke the State Record, previously set by the same program at the 2009 meet, by a relay that included Cal swimmer Sam Metz.
New Trier's 200 free relay also approached the national record in the 200 free relay as well in prelims, with a 1:22.92. That's eight-tenths short of the all-time high school mark in that event as well.
This state meet, where New Trier is trying to win back-to-back titles to mark the 100-year anniversary of their broader swimming organization, had an incredibly fast preliminary session on Friday. Aside from the relay, Stanford commit Danny Thomson crushed his State Record with a 4:19.28 to take the top seed. He barely held off Malone who was 2nd in 4:19.38. Malone is only a junior, and that time cuts 6 seconds off of his previous best – he could be the breakout star in the class of 2013.
A great battle is also brewing in the 200 free. Sean Lehane of Naperville Central swam a 1:38.96, and Thomson swam a 1:38.97 to take the top two seeds. That should set up a huge battle in finals.
More recaps after finals. Full prelims results available here.

Best Places to Get Professional Pictures Printed
Where you get professional pictures printed can make a big difference in how your prints turn out.
Regardless of what you believe, printing your photos can make you a better photographer. Contrast, brightness, clarity—there are hundreds of tiny factors that make up the final result of a photographic and printing process. For quick, small prints, you can pretty easily get away with services provided by your local pharmacy, but for the highest quality possible, you want to get professional pictures printed at professional printers. It's always worth looking around locally for well-reviewed establishments, but here are a few big names that offer quality photo printing.
ProDPI is widely revered as one of the best places to get professional pictures printed for many reasons. Their customer services is always happy to help—and are genuinely able to help—while the results are worth more than you'll be paying. They print on Fuji photo papers, which are often listed as or among the top papers for printing your photos, and offer free shipping on orders over $12, as well. Their website also allows you to create an account, which will save some of your information and help you more easily process your photo prints after the first time you utilize their services.
In the greater New England area, Colortek is one of the primary places to get professional pictures printed. Outside of their physical area of operation, you can still receive many of their print services for the highest quality photo printing in a wide range of options, including digital printing, film printing, photo editing, and the creation of photo books. The online service is highly regarded as one of the easiest processes for professional printing, allowing you to simply upload your photos and provide a few pieces of information—your phone number, email—and send it on over.
Nations Photo Lab
Nations Photo Lab is a one-stop-shop for all professional printing, photo editing, and photo gift needs. They offer high print quality across a wide range of media, and have additional services for printing photo gift items such as photo books, postcards, even souvenirs (like printed pillows and keychains). For reasonable industry prices, Nations Photo Lab offers extremely detailed prints at a wider range of sizes than much of the competition, using photo editing and cutting edge technology to provide whatever size print you need, without sacrificing sharp detail, coloration, and the fine pixelation necessary to help your printed image turn out in exactly the manner and medium you want.
Mpix is the budget child company of Miller's Professional Photo Imaging. Both are excellent sources for anyone who needs to get professional pictures printed, but Mpix offers competitive prices for all your more basic services, including standard photo printing in popular sizes, and basic gift product printing. Since you don't need an account to use Mpix, its friendly to amateurs and rising photographers, in addition to established professionals. Mpix also has a mid-range option, between Mpix proper and Miller's, called MpixPro. For those who don't want to or can't yet commit to a Miller's account, these two options are amongst the highest quality printers for any photo printing needs.
Miller's Professional Photo Imaging
For industry standards, such as portraits and wedding photos, Miller's is perhaps the highest quality photo lab you could ask for. For amateur photographers and those just starting out in the industry, they offer a high quality free photo lab which I just mentioned—Mpix. For the professional photographer though, Miller's offers even more service options and higher end printing possibilities. You do have to apply for and create an account with them, and some of their costs are quite a bit above the more amateur-friendly options, but their quality will practically have you ensured that they wrote the ultimate guide to printing photographs themselves.
As the name suggests, CanvasPop caters especially to those in search of canvas prints. If your photography business involves significant canvas printing and home décor-oriented artwork, this is definitely a company to keep on your radar and your "bookmarks" page. For canvas prints, it can be difficult to find safe, quick printing, and CanvasPop will ship your fully framed prints to you, so you're immediately ready to hang your art up on the wall, or display it for sale. Although their print options are comparatively limited, what they sacrifice in range, they make up for in expertise, making them easily among the best options for canvas printing in the world of photography, as well as photo printing in general.
Adoramapix is another great place to get professional pictures printed if you're looking for an easy-to-use website with reasonable prices for all your standard options, as well as a few specialty printing offerings, like metallic prints, framing, and different varieties of photo books. In the greater NYC area, you can pick up your prints for free, but their website allows photographers from all over the country to utilize their services, and they'll ship your final prints out to you as well. They're also a great resource for new, rising photographers who want to learn more about the craft of photography and hone their skills, as they offer classes and guides through their website in addition to their printing services.
CG Pro Prints
CG Pro Prints is a go-to source for many large photography operations that have to process a high volume of prints quickly. Their services are available 24 hours a day, allowing photographers to work on their own schedule and get their prints in a quick turnaround time that would give other, smaller operations a more time-consuming hassle. They also specialize in canvas prints at an extremely competitive price for the high quality they offer. Highly rated for exceptional, round-the-clock customer service, you can easily contact CG Pro Prints through their website at any time of day or day of the week.
White Wall
What stands out most significantly about White Wall is their comprehensive, easy-to-use website, which offers a lot more than just the usual spread of print options. They also offer a very useful feature through which photographers can upload their photos and view simulations of how they will turn out given various inputs and constraints, allowing the artist to see as close a rendition of their final product as one could get before committing the resources to it. This is especially helpful for photographers who are still trying to get a handle on the right paper types, size constraints, and other features they could consider in order to maximize the appearance of their pictures.
While many professional photographers choose among these specialty stores for their printing needs, many yet make use of the budget-friendly photo centers at drugstores around the country. The two major players for amateurs and professionals alike are Shutterfly and Shuttersnap, which operate out of a number of different stores including CVS and Walgreens, and function as some of the most convenient places to get professional pictures printed (not to mention one of the best photo book printing services around). These places won't offer you the best quality in home décor prints or canvas prints, but for a basic run of small-to-medium photo prints, their prices are hard to pass up.

Be Prepared BEFORE Disaster Strikes!Nitro-PakOutdoorsFood
It's often impossible to predict when a natural (or man-made) disaster will strike, but it is completely possible (and responsible) to be prepared when one does. Two essentials for any type of emergency are having a Family Disaster Plan, and an Emergency Supply Kit.
Creating Your Family Disaster Plan
Meet with your family and discuss why you need to prepare for disaster.
Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen.
Develop an emergency communication plan.
Ask an out-of-town relative or friend to be your "family contact."
Discuss what to do if authorities ask you to evacuate.
Be familiar with escape routes.
Plan how to take care of your pets.
You can get details about this plan, and a lot more tips, by visiting The Disaster Center.
Creating Your Emergency Supply Kit
The Federal Emergency Management Agency recently released its updated "Top Ten Disaster Preparedness List" of must have items to have on hand during an emergency. While this list is by no means comprehensive, it is a very good start. Here's what they recommend:
Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
Food, at least three-day supply of non-perishable food
Battery-powered/hand crank radio
Flashlight and extra batteries
First aid kit
Whistle to signal for help
Dust mask, plastic sheeting, and duct tape to help filter contaminated air and insulate shelter
Manual can opener
Local maps
Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger
For more information on disaster preparedness, and for tips on preparing for specific types of emergencies, visit this FEMA page.
So, now that you have the basic info on what to do and what you'll need should disaster strike, the next step should be to actually assemble your kit. A great resource to use for this is an actual emergency preparedness company, like Nitro-Pak. Not only do they have complete survival kits available for purchase, they have everything you could possibly need to ensure your safety even in a long-term emergency. Make sure to check out the discounts they offer before checking out.
Give yourself the peace of mind that comes with being prepared for the unexpected before it happens. It is the smart and safe thing to do.

An Integrated Point of Sales System with Magnetic Stripe Card Reader for Binary-based Multi-level Marketing (MLM) Business System
Destiny-2000 (Pvt.) Ltd. is a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company operating in Bangladesh which has adopted the Binary System of MLM. Binary systems are a multilevel marketing compensation plan which allows distributors to have only two front-line distributors. Everyone else goes beneath those people. The thing that determines whether one can get a commission from a person is not what level he is on, but rather how much purchase volume is generated in the levels between one and that person. Destiny-2000 has more than 130 Net offices (so called Net office which is bigger than Branch office) / Branch offices. As of 4th October 2007, the total number of distributors/ members is 1,322,361.
To make certain level of profit to keep the sales commission and incentive amount attractive for current and prospective distributors the minimum purchase volume for joining the sales network is moderately high by Bangladesh standard.
Destiny-2000 (Pvt.) Ltd. is exploring several options to attract their prospective and current members/ distributors. To this extend, the IPOS developed in this project reduces the one-time purchase burden for prospective members and allows current members to utilize their accumulated points by conveniently purchasing products from a shopping mall.
An Integrated Point of Sales (IPOS) System with Magnetic Stripe Card Reader application has developed based on shopping mall, which will be demonstrated using screen shots.
The complete system in this project, consist of several programs using Visual Studio.Net, C#, Visual Fox Pro, an SQL Database like MS SQL Server 2000, One GUI application, a set of reports using Crystal Report and magnetic stripe card reader, Point Privilege Card(PPC), Barcode Scanner etc.

[flask] show render time on a page
August 22, 2015 Leave a comment
For debugging purposes, I wanted to see the rendering time of each page.
I found a solution here. Here are the links:
- show request time in template @Gist (nice and simple, just copy/paste)
- Flask-DebugToolbar, port of the famous django-debug-toolbar (the docs is excellent, easy to configure)
- Flask-DebugToolbar-Mongo; MongoDB support, good docs, easy to configure
Note that Flask-DebugToolbar is very useful but it really slowed down my application. I even switched it off and I only use it when I want to debug something. When the issue is solved I switch it off again.

Aren't sure what they are?
No problem. In fact, that's why we are here today. It is not so easy to have grasped on all terminologies especially those which are small yet quite important. In financial language, "it can be described as an asset which can be easily converted into cash with minimum impact to the received price."
In more simple language, "things that can be sold within seconds at fair market value."
The best example to describe this is the cash we have in our hands considered as a liquid asset. Cash which comes under our national currency and use as an official medium of payment by law to meet a financial obligation. The money exists in our saving or money market accounts which we use to settle current liabilities is considered liquid because it can be withdrawn easily.
Now, we believe you've got pretty much idea about –
What are liquid assets exactly?
And what they use for?
So, let's find out what are those liquid assets.
Liquid Assets
Cash equivalent investments that have short-term maturities of not more than 90-days are referred as liquid assets because these investments can be easily converted into cash.
- Treasury Bills and other Government Bonds
- Stocks are financial assets or you can say paper assets which can easily convert into cash in a short period of time. Sure, you must be familiar with the liquidity of stocks and know how easy it is to get cash out of stocks.
- A mutual fund is another good example of liquid assets which are more like a managed portfolio of investments where market investors can sell their stocks at any time in the state of financial emergency and get cash within few days. (See more: Buy Mutual Funds on Paytm)
Note: – Money-market funds are also considered as a liquid asset. These are one of the types of mutual fund. The best example of money-market funds is municipal bonds.
Now that you got the clear view on the type of liquid assets, it is also important to differentiate non-liquid assets/fixed assets from liquid assets.
And why non-liquid/fixed assets are so hard to liquidate and convert into cash?
Real estate investments are a non-liquid asset type. To understand it clearly, let's assume you have a real estate property which you wants to liquidate or sell for financial emergency or pay off a debt. Unlike stocks, you can't just liquidate your financial asset. In fact, you will require an investor to discuss and negotiate the price of the property and set up closing for the sale. If we take that all into the account, then no doubt, it will take more than a month to get hands on the money. Plus, trying to sell property quickly will automatically reduce its market price and might sell at lower than the current market price. Worse, you could suffer from a loss.
Final Thoughts: –
It is clear that liquid assets are quite reliable when it comes of paying off debt or urgent requirement of cash. But, don't get too overconfident for having liquid assets in your portfolio because even cash equivalent has flaws.
Hope, this article will help you to get the clear image of liquid and non-liquid assets. For any queries, you can message in the comment section given below.

A car has smashed through a shopfront at a busy intersection at Clyde in Sydney's west.
The silver Toyota Starlet lost control on the corner of James Ruse Drive and Parramatta Road, mounting the curb and crashing through the window of a carpet store.
Silverwater Station Officer Ian Dupen told 9NEWS wet weather played a part in the accident, with the vehicle "aquaplaning" before the crash.
The driver and occupants of the vehicle were uninjured and the car was towed away with minimal damage.
The building has superficial glass and framework damage but Station Officer Dupen said there could have been major structural damage if the car hit a pillar just centimetres away.

Optional helicopter trips and other suggested activities.
Day One
Christchurch to Arthur's Pass
After being met by your guide and host, you will be driven through the "Garden City" and up onto the Port Hills, the flanks of one of the ancient extinct volcanoes that form Banks Peninsula. From the hills there are spectacular views of the city and the Kaikoura Range can be seen far to the north, while the Pacific Ocean sparkles to the east. To the south and west the vast Canterbury Plains stretch to the horizon and in the distance, the Southern Alps. This is an opportunity to talk about where you will be going and what you will see on the tour.
You will then escape the city and start your journey west across the Canterbury Plains. As the distant mountains become closer, you may wonder just like the Maori and the early settlers before us how you will find a way through. Crossing Porter's Pass, a dramatic landscape change occurs as you enter the high country, an inter-montaine plateau bounded by the Torlesse Mountains to the east and the Craigieburn Mountains to the west. Travelling through this glacial shaped region, you will pass glacial formed lakes and the stunning spiritual limestone formations of Castle Hill which dominates the landscape.
Further on, you will reach the wide expanse of the Waimakariri River and the Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass.
Accommodation: Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass
Included meals: MT, L, AT
Day Two
A day in the mountains
This is a day to discover the real high country – a day in which you can explore and learn about the alpine landscape, plants and the animals in the spectacular Southern Alps. A tour of the high country sheep farm which is part of the lodge, will enable you to view and learn about the ways of sheep farming in the high country. From the lodge you will head into the heart of the Southern Alps – Arthur's Pass National Park which has an incredible diversity of flora and landscape.
They range from the eastern beech clad hills and tussock grass valleys to the luxuriant rain forest in the west.
In Arthur's Pass National Park, you may take walks to see waterfalls, learn about the forests and alpine plants of this area and experience the alpine landscape. Explore the glacial landscape and learn about the features that the Ice Age left behind.
Seek out and hopefully find a unique South Island personality who is mischievous, inquisitive, comical and rowdy; the cheeky kea – the world's only alpine parrot. You may have to defend your mini coach, as they have been known to try and remove aerials and door trims with their beaks!
Accommodation: Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass
Included meals: MT, L, AT
Day Three
Arthur's Pass - Franz Josef - Fox Glacier - Lake Moeraki
After breakfast you will travel through Arthur's Pass National Park and depart Canterbury province for Westland – Te Wai Poutini or "The West Coast" as it is known.
Originally used by the Maori to move greenstone from the west coast and later as a link to the gold rush fields, this route reveals great mountain valleys and the marvel of the road as it winds its way down the spectacular Otira Gorge – a geographer's dream.
Follow rivers that flow to the West Coast and observe changes to the rainforest and the many varieties of ferns that define their character. Travel on a backcountry road, walk through old gold miners' tunnels and wonder at the tenacity of the miners in their quest for gold. Visit Hokitika, once the capital of Westland and a roaring gold mining town and now the pounamu / jade / greenstone centre of New Zealand.
Along the way, you will pass through villages that were once bustling and one now has a population of 2 (three, including the dog!).
See the West Coast rainforests and further evidence of the last Ice Age in the kettle lakes created by the melting ice sheets.
Heading on, you will reach "Glacier Country" and the villages of Franz Josef and Fox Glacier. Both of these glaciers are unique in that they descend into regenerating temperate rainforest, and this is happening on a South Pacific island!
At Franz Josef, there is the opportunity to take a "twin glacier" helicopter flight from Franz to Fox and this would include a landing on one of these two glaciers' neves, as well as spectacular views of the Southern Alps.
(Please note – optional helicopter flights are not included in the tour cost)
At Fox Glacier, a drive can be made to a viewpoint from where (subject to weather conditions), a view can be seen of the Fox Glacier and Mt Tasman and Aoraki/Mt Cook.
From Fox Glacier, travel south to the Wilderness Lodge Lake Moeraki, set in the heart of Te Wahi Pounamu – the South West New Zealand World heritage area. This lodge is a Tourism Award Winner providing a first class wilderness experience.
Accommodation: Lake Moeraki Wilderness Lodge
Included meals: MT, L, AT
Days Four & Five
Lake Moeraki
Untouched lowland rain forests spread between pristine lakes and rivers which drain the snow-capped Southern Alps – this is Lake Moeraki.
Few places on earth can match the unique natural setting of Lake Moeraki in the heart of the 2.7 million hectare Te Wahi Pounamu – Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area. The landscape has been shaped by successive glaciations into fjords, rocky coasts, towering cliffs, lakes and waterfalls. Two-thirds of the area is covered with southern beech and podocarps, some of which are over 800 years old. This special place is also home to breeding colonies of the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin (seasonal), the Hectors Dolphins (the world's smallest dolphin) and numerous varieties of native birds.
Lake Moeraki is a nature lover's paradise. Visits can be made to wild and remote beaches and activities include guided walks to get close to the wildlife, learning about the forest and experiencing amazing scenery. If you prefer to have a restful day then you can take a canoe out on the tranquil lake or just relax in the lodge.
Accommodation: Lake Moeraki Wilderness Lodge
Day Six
Lake Moeraki - Haast Pass - Wanaka - Queenstown
Depart Moeraki and travel south to Ship Creek. Here, from a viewing tower on the beach there is a good chance of seeing the rare Hectors Dolphin playing beyond the surf. Walk through a primeval swamp forest to see ancient "dinosaur" trees, view a coastal lagoon and fossick for greenstone on the remote beach.
From here, you will head south again to Haast where the road turns east, following the Haast Highway. You can now observe how the landscape again changes dramatically as the road climbs over the Haast Pass from the dense rain forest of the West Coast to the drier tussock lands of the Otago province.
On the way, there are short walks to see waterfalls and if there has been recent rainfall, the Haast River passing through the gorge known as the Gates of Haast can be truly spectacular.
From Haast Pass the road eventually skirts first along the banks of Lake Wanaka and then making a slight turn and rising over a ridge, Lake Wanaka is left behind and Lake Hawea is before you. The road follows the shoreline of this lake and then we reach the alpine village of Wanaka.
This is a quiet mountain resort on the southern shores of Lake Wanaka.
From Wanaka, pass the old gold mining village of Cardrona and head over the rugged and remote Crown Range, the site of gold diggings in the 1860's.
From the top of the Crown Range there are dramatic views of the Queenstown district. You will then descend to the valley floor and reach the quaint and historic village of Arrowtown. It is then a short drive to your Queenstown accommodation, The Rees Hotel.
Accommodation: The Rees Hotel
Included meals: MT, L, AT
Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass
Midway between Christchurch & the South Island's West Coast, Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass sits on a 4000 acre farm & nature reserve surrounded by spectacular Arthur's Pass National Park.
Lake Moeraki Wilderness Lodge
Few places on earth can match the stunning natural setting of Wilderness Lodge Lake Moeraki, surrounded by lakes, rivers, rainforest and seacoast in the heart of Te Wahipounamu, the southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area. This is a paradise for nature lovers, active travelers and wilderness seekers.
The Rees Hotel
The Rees Hotel Queenstown is a sophisticated five-star hotel situated right on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, in the South Island of New Zealand.
