Joseph R. Biden Jr., whose personality and politics were forged from family crises, hopes to remain in the nation's second-highest elected office come Tuesday.
Picked by Barack Obama, whom he challenged early on in the 2008 presidential primary, for the No. 2 spot on the Democratic presidential ticket, Biden, who represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate since first being elected 35 years ago at age 30, is known for a tenacity he says was instilled by his parents.
Recalling the tough times growing up in middle-class Scranton, Pa., and Wilmington, Del., when his father's financial fortunes turned sour, Biden said during his vice presidential acceptance speech in Denver last summer: "My dad told me, 'Champ, you get knocked down, get up.'"
His mother, he said, told him failure is inevitable in life "but giving up is unforgivable" and when bullies assailed him, she told him to go out and "bloody their nose so you can walk down the street the next day, and that's what I did."
He took that advice to heart. As a youth he overcame a serious stuttering problem to become a masterful debater. In college, he went from uninspired student to law school graduate. He became the second-youngest person ever directly elected to the Senate.
When tragedy struck and his first wife, Neilia, and infant daughter were killed in a car crash, he threw himself into being a single father to sons Beau and Hunter, who survived the accident, riding the train 110 miles each day to work at the nation's Capitol. He and his second wife, Jill Tracy Jacobs, have a daughter, Ashley.
When it came to his Senate career, Biden again drew from his mother's advice, following the philosophy that "everyone is your equal and everyone is equal to you."
A lunch-bucket Democrat with expertise in budget, judiciary, foreign relations and intelligence issues, Biden rose to ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee and led the Foreign Relations Committee. It is his depth of experience, particularly in foreign affairs where Obama was perceived as most vulnerable, that contributed to making him the young Illinois senator's pick as a running mate.
Among his duties, Biden sought to provide advice on critical decisions Obama would make, and was closely involved in all Cabinet appointments made during the transition.
Biden was the head of the White House Task Force on Working Families, an initiative aimed at improving the economic well being of the middle class.
Biden visited Iraq about once every two months, becoming the administration's point man in delivering messages to Iraqi leadership about expectations for the country's progress.
Domestically, Biden oversaw infrastructure spending from the Obama stimulus package meant to help jump start the economy, and spoke with leaders at all levels of government to ensure the monies were properly spent.
Biden has the reputation of being a loose cannon who often speaks off-script with sometimes outrageous results. On March 23, 2010, Biden was caught off-mike telling Obama that signing the Affordable Care Act was a "big [expletive] deal" during a live broadcast. More recently he told supporters during a campaign stop a Republican win in this election would put "y' all back in chains."

Shāh Shojāʿ, original name Shojāʿ Mirza, or Shojāʿ-ul-mulk, Shojāʿ also spelled Shujāʿ, (born 1780—died April 1842, Kabul, Afghanistan), shāh, or king, of Afghanistan (1803–10; 1839–42) whose alliance with the British led to his death.
Shojāʿ ascended the throne in 1803 after a long fratricidal war. In 1809 he concluded an alliance with the British against an expected Franco-Russian invasion of India but, the following year, was overthrown by his elder brother Shāh Maḥmūd and went into exile in British India. He eventually fled to Lahore, where in 1813 he attempted to obtain the assistance of the Sikh emperor Ranjit Singh by offering him the giant Koh-i-noor diamond. Ranjit Singh accepted the offer but procrastinated with his assistance, using the time instead to consolidate the Sikh empire. Shāh Shojāʿ in 1816 left for Ludhiana and placed himself under British protection. For 23 years he engaged in a number of unsuccessful schemes to regain his throne. Finally, in 1839, he was again placed on the throne by the British during the first Afghan War but was assassinated when the British occupation force withdrew from Kābul.

The Mayan calendar ends on Friday, and some
people believe that means the world will come to an end
The descendants of the ancient Maya people, however, don't actually believe in the pending apocalypse.
Regardless, the ancient Maya world is in the spotlight. The Maya built great cities around Central America, and today you can see traces of the pre-Columbian civilization in their ruins in Guatemala, Belize and Mexico.
Google Street View captured the great Mayan ruins in Mexico, allowing the world to explore the grand pyramids, ball courts, and temples without leaving their chairs. Some of the featured destinations include the storied ruins of Teotihuacan, Palenque and Chichn Itz.

As reported in June, Bronx emcee and D.I.T.C. member Fat Joe has been sentenced to four months in prison for the tax evasion he committed over a period of two years and pled guilty of last December. Today (August 5), Fat Joe visited The Breakfast Club and talked about the source of his legal troubles, as well as his prison sentence.
Joe said that his longtime accountant retired on short notice after a family tragedy. Regarding his new accountant and the news of his unpaid bills and taxes, Fat Joe said, "He took over my stuff…I had the guy paying all my bills, so I'm wiring him money every month to pay all my bills, my taxes. I'm asking him if everything is alright. He said, 'It's cool,' this and that, right. He's doing everything. So one day I go get a car and then I went to get my credit report…so the guy was like, 'Yo, you sitting down?' I thought he was joking. He was like, 'Yo, this shows here that none of your mortgages is paid. None of your cars is paid. None of this.' So this is how I found out. So I called [my accountant] up and..the next day he paid everything off."
Given that his period of nonpayment of taxes lasted for two years, Fat Joe and another new accountant eventually approached the IRS themselves. The IRS told him, "'You still owe 60 [thousand],'" Fat Joe said. "So I wrote a check right quick for the $60,000."
The Terror Squad CEO and founding member said that before penalties, he "wound up spending like [$1.2 million] in the end. And I'm not Jay Z or none of that. And penalties was on top of that. After you pay them off, they hit you with, 'Surprise!'"
The repayment and penalty fees are obviously not the end of the ordeal, as Fat Joe reconfirmed his four-month prison bid, for which he will report August 26. Despite his upcoming sentence and the large sum he's paid back, Joe was also in good spirits and found light in the situation. "In the words of Chris Gotti, my good friend, it could be worse," he said.
Fat Joe is only the latest in a string of rappers to face jail time for tax evasion. Lauryn Hill began her three month prison sentence in Connecticut last month for nonpayment of $1 million and Ja Rule completed a two-year sentence for a gun charge, only to be held longer for an unrelated tax evasion charge earlier this year.
While on the show, Fat Joe also talked about feeling underappreciated by a current crop of emcees and fans for his previous contributions, the mentorship role he played for many artists and his alleged involvement in an altercation with Jay Z alongside Big Pun.

ROCKFORD — Overtime costs have been creeping up across the board at City Hall. But nowhere has it climbed faster than in the Fire Department, where overtime doubled from 2010 to 2012.
ROCKFORD — Overtime costs have been creeping up across the board at City Hall. But nowhere has it climbed faster than in the Fire Department, where overtime doubled from 2010 to 2012.
Several retirements and a few long-term injuries last year forced firefighters to pick up extra shifts to fill staffing quotas, boosting the overtime bill to $4.9 million.
That's $2 million more than overtime totals in the Police Department and $4 million more than the Public Works Department. In fact, Fire's overtime bill was 56 percent of the 2012 Public Works payroll.
It climbed enough that the department paid 333 employees $1.5 million more last year than it paid 349 employees in 2010, according to city records.
But those overtime costs should start dropping in the second half of the year, administrators said. With 20 recruits set to finish training by the end of this month, overtime is expected to fall back to 2010 levels of around $2.4 million.
"We'll be back up to full staffing come June 29," Chief Derek Bergsten said. "That gets us to our optimum number where it, hopefully, keeps that overtime manageable and right within our budget."
One of the reasons the agency is less flexible about overtime than other city departments is a mandatory staffing limit guaranteed in the union's contract. By 8 a.m. every day, the city's 11 fire stations must have 64 people on duty.
Those staffing levels are again a contested issue in contract negotiations, which have stalled and will head to an arbitrator, who will ultimately decide between the city's and the union's final offer on each contested issue.
The city asks for a lower staffing level, although leaders declined to say how much lower. The union has asked to keep the staffing the same.
There are good reasons to keep the staffing levels up for medical calls, said Lt. Brad Walker, union president.
For example, CPR requires someone to check the patient's pulse and start chest compressions. Another paramedic or emergency medical technician needs to regulate an oxygen mask, and someone has to administer an IV and set up a stretcher — all in the matter of moments.
Sometimes it's life-saving to have a supervisor who can talk to the family about the patient's medical history, Walker said. Having six paramedics and EMTs respond to a medical emergency is "safer for everybody and is better for a good outcome."
Opportunities to pick up extra shifts, or hire-backs, are based on a rotating personnel list, not seniority. Some teach classes; others fill full 24-hour shifts, which are paid at time and a half.
With a full staff, the department typically has two or three hire-backs a day, Bergsten said. But the short staff in 2012 required six or seven a day.
Another overtime driver is the 911 call center, which is included in the Fire Department's budget. Forty-three dispatchers and telecommunicators earned about $540,000 in overtime in 2012.
It's a challenge to keep the center at a full staff because of the nature of the position, Bergsten said.
"It's very high-stress position, with long hours. And you have to have a very strong skill set to work in that center. We're continuously hiring to keep that overtime down and individuals answering the phone calls."

Long build times slow down your development process. This page offers some techniques to help you resolve build speed bottlenecks.
The general process of improving your build speed is as follows:
- Optimize your build configuration by taking a few steps that immediately benefit most Android Studio projects.
- Profile your build to identify and diagnose some of the trickier bottlenecks that may be specific to your project or workstation.
When developing your app, you should deploy to a device running Android 7.0 (API level 24) or higher whenever possible. Newer versions of the Android platform implement better mechanics for pushing updates to your app, such as the Android Runtime (ART) and native support for multiple DEX files.
Note: After your first clean build, you may notice that subsequent builds—clean and incremental—perform much faster (even without using any of the optimizations described on this page). This is because the Gradle daemon has a "warm-up" period of increasing performance—similar to other JVM processes.
Optimize your build configuration
Follow these tips to improve the build speed of your Android Studio project.
Keep your tools up-to-date
The Android tools receive build optimizations and new features with almost every update, and some tips on this page assume you're using the latest version. To take advantage of the latest optimizations, keep the following up to date:
Create a build variant for development
Many of the configurations you need when preparing your app for release are not required while developing your app. Enabling unnecessary build processes slows down your incremental and clean builds, so configure a build variant that keeps only the build configurations you need while developing your app. The following sample creates a "dev" flavor and a "prod" flavor (for your release version configurations):
android { ... defaultConfig {...} buildTypes {...} productFlavors { // When building a variant that uses this flavor, the following configurations // override those in the defaultConfig block. dev { // To avoid using legacy multidex when building from the command line, // set minSdkVersion to 21 or higher. When using Android Studio 2.3 or higher, // the build automatically avoids legacy multidex when deploying to a device running // API level 21 or higher—regardless of what you set as your minSdkVersion. minSdkVersion 21 versionNameSuffix "-dev" applicationIdSuffix '.dev' } prod { // If you've configured the defaultConfig block for the release version of // your app, you can leave this block empty and Gradle uses configurations in // the defaultConfig block instead. You still need to create this flavor. // Otherwise, all variants use the "dev" flavor configurations. } } }
If your build configuration already uses product flavors to create different versions of your app, you can combine the "dev" and "prod" configurations with those flavors by using flavor dimensions. For example, if you already configure a "demo" and "full" flavor, you can use the following sample configuration to create combined flavors, such as "devDemo" and "prodFull":
android { ... defaultConfig {...} buildTypes {...} // Specifies the flavor dimensions you want to use. The order in which you // list each dimension determines its priority, from highest to lowest, // when Gradle merges variant sources and configurations. You must assign // each product flavor you configure to one of the flavor dimensions. flavorDimensions "stage", "mode" productFlavors { dev { dimension "stage" minSdkVersion 21 versionNameSuffix "-dev" applicationIdSuffix '.dev' ... } prod { dimension "stage" ... } demo { dimension "mode" ... } full { dimension "mode" ... } } }
Enable single-variant project sync
Syncing your project with your build configuration is an important step in letting Android Studio understand how your project is structured. However, this process can be time-consuming for large projects. If your project uses multiple build variants, you can now optimize project syncs by limiting them to only the variant you have currently selected.
You need to use Android Studio 3.3 or higher with Android Gradle Plugin 3.3.0 or higher to enable this optimization. The optimization is enabled by default on all projects.
To enable this optimization manually, click File > Settings > Experimental > Gradle (Android Studio > Preferences > Experimental > Gradle on a Mac) and select the Only sync the active variant checkbox.
Note: This optimization fully supports projects that include Java and C++ languages, and has some support for Kotlin. When enabling the optimization for projects with Kotlin content, Gradle sync falls back to using full variants internally.
Avoid compiling unnecessary resources
Avoid compiling and packaging resources that you aren't testing (such as additional language localizations and screen-density resources). You can do that by only specifying one language resource and screen density for your "dev" flavor, as shown in the following sample:
android { ... productFlavors { dev { ... // The following configuration limits the "dev" flavor to using // English stringresources and xxhdpi screen-density resources. resConfigs "en", "xxhdpi" } ... } }
Disable Crashlytics for your debug builds
If you don't need to run a Crashlytics report, speed up your debug builds by disabling the plugin as follows:
android { ... buildTypes { debug { ext.enableCrashlytics = false } }
You also need to disable the Crashlytics kit at runtime for debug builds by changing the way you initialize support for Fabric in your app, as shown below:
// Initializes Fabric for builds that don't use the debug build type. Crashlytics.Builder() .core(CrashlyticsCore.Builder().disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG).build()) .build() .also { crashlyticsKit -> Fabric.with(this, crashlyticsKit) }
// Initializes Fabric for builds that don't use the debug build type. Crashlytics crashlyticsKit = new Crashlytics.Builder() .core(new CrashlyticsCore.Builder().disabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG).build()) .build(); Fabric.with(this, crashlyticsKit);
Disable automatic build ID generation
If you want to use Crashlytics with your debug builds, you can still speed up incremental builds by preventing Crashlytics from updating app resources with its own unique build ID during every build. Because this build ID is stored in a resource file that is referenced by the manifest, disabling automatic build ID generation also allows you to use Apply Changes alongside Crashlytics for your debug builds.
To prevent Crashlytics from automatically updating its build ID, add
the following to your
build.gradle file:
android { ... buildTypes { debug { ext.alwaysUpdateBuildId = false } }
For more information about optimizing your builds while using Crashlytics, read the official documentation.
Use static build config values with your debug build
Always use static/hard-coded values for properties that go in the manifest file or resource files for your debug build type.
For example, using dynamic version codes, version names, resources, or any
other build logic that changes the manifest file requires a full APK build
every time you want to run a change—even though the actual change might
otherwise require only a hot swap. If your build configuration requires such
dynamic properties, then isolate them to your release build variants and keep
the values static for your debug builds, as shown in the
build.gradle file below.
int MILLIS_IN_MINUTE = 1000 * 60 int minutesSinceEpoch = System.currentTimeMillis() / MILLIS_IN_MINUTE android { ... defaultConfig { // Making either of these two values dynamic in the defaultConfig will // require a full APK build and reinstallation because the AndroidManifest.xml // must be updated. versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" ... } // The defaultConfig values above are fixed, so your incremental builds don't // need to rebuild the manifest (and therefore the whole APK, slowing build times). // But for release builds, it's okay. So the following script iterates through // all the known variants, finds those that are "release" build types, and // changes those properties to something dynamic. applicationVariants.all { variant -> if (variant.buildType.name == "release") { variant.mergedFlavor.versionCode = minutesSinceEpoch; variant.mergedFlavor.versionName = minutesSinceEpoch + "-" + variant.flavorName; } } }
Use static dependency versions
When you declare dependencies in your
build.gradle files, you
should avoid using version numbers with a plus sign at the end, such as
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.+'. Using dynamic version
numbers can cause unexpected version updates, difficulty resolving version
differences, and slower builds caused by Gradle checking for updates. You
should use static/hard-coded version numbers instead.
Create library modules
Look for code in your app that you can convert into an Android library module. Modularizing your code this way allows the build system to compile only the modules you modify and cache those outputs for future builds. It also makes parallel project execution more effective (when you enable that optimization).
Create tasks for custom build logic
After you create a build profile, if it shows that a
relatively long portion of the build time is spent in the "Configuring
Projects" phase, review your
build.gradle scripts and look for
code that you can include in a custom Gradle task. By moving some build logic
into a task, it is run only when required, results can be cached for
subsequent builds, and that build logic becomes eligible to run in parallel
(if you enable parallel project execution). To learn more, read
the official Gradle documentation.
Tip: If your build includes a large number of custom tasks, you may
want to declutter your
build.gradle files by creating custom task classes. Add you classes to the
project-root/buildSrc/src/main/groovy/ directory and
Gradle automatically includes them in the classpath for all
build.gradle files in your project.
Convert images to WebP
WebP is an image file format that provides lossy compression (like JPEG) as well as transparency (like PNG) but can provide better compression than either JPEG or PNG. Reducing image file sizes, without having to perform build-time compression, can speed up your builds, especially if your app uses a lot of image resources. However, you may notice a small increase in device CPU usage while decompressing WebP images. Using Android Studio, you can easily convert your images to WebP.
Disable PNG crunching
If you can't (or don't want to) convert your PNG
images to WebP, you can still speed up your build by disabling automatic
image compression every time you build your app. If you're using
Android plugin 3.0.0 or higher,
PNG crunching is disabled by default for only the "debug" build type. To disable this
optimization for other build types, add the following to your
build.gradle file:
android { buildTypes { release { // Disables PNG crunching for the release build type. crunchPngs false } } // If you're using an older version of the plugin, use the // following: // aaptOptions { // cruncherEnabled false // } }
Because build types or product flavors don't define this property, you need
to manually set this property to
true when building the release
version of your app.
Enable the build cache
Build cache stores certain outputs that the Android plugin for Gradle generates when building your project (such as unpackaged AARs and pre-dexed remote dependencies). Your clean builds are much faster while using the cache because the build system can simply reuse those cached files during subsequent builds, instead of recreating them.
New projects that use Android plugin 2.3.0 and higher enable the build cache by default (unless you explicitly disable the build cache). To learn more, read Accelerate clean builds with build cache.
Use incremental annotation processors
Android Gradle plugin 3.3.0 and higher improve support for incremental annotation processing. So, to improve incremental build speeds, you should update your Android Gradle plugin and use only incremental annotation processors whenever possible.
Note: This feature is compatible with Gradle versions 4.10.1 and higher, except for Gradle 5.1 (see Gradle issue #8194).
To get started, see the following table of popular annotation processors that support incremental annotation processing. For a more complete list, see State of support in popular annotation processors. Some of the annotation processors may require additional steps to enable the optimization, so make sure to read documentation for each annotation processor.Additionally, if you use Kotlin in your app, you need to use kapt 1.3.30 and higher to support incremental annotation processors for your Kotlin code. Make sure to read the official documentation on whether you need to manually enable this behavior.
Keep in mind, if you have to use one or more annotation processors that don't support incremental builds, annotation processing won't be incremental. However, if your project is using kapt, Java compilation is still incremental.
Incremental annotation processor support
|Project name
|Annotation processor class name
|Supported since...
2.20: Use
room.incremental option.
Profile your build
Larger projects, or those that implement a lot of custom build logic, may
require you to take a deeper look into the build process to find bottlenecks.
You can do that by profiling how long Gradle takes to execute each phase of
the build lifecycle and each build task. For example, if your build profile
shows that Gradle is spending too much time configuring your project, it may
suggest that you need to move custom build
logic out of the configuration phase. Additionally, if the
mergeDevDebugResources task consumes a large amount of the build
time, it may indicate that you need to either convert
your images to WebP or disable PNG
If you're using Android Studio 4.0 or higher, the best way to investigate build performance issues is by using the Build Analyzer.
Profile your build from the command line
If you're not using Android Studio, troubleshooting your build speed typically involves running your build from the command line with profiling enabled, making some tweaks to your build configuration, and profiling some more to observe the results of your changes.
To generate and view a build profile, perform the following steps:
- Open a commandline terminal at the root of your project.
- Perform a clean build by entering the following command. As you profile
your build, you should perform a clean build between each build you profile
because Gradle skips tasks when inputs to a task (such as source code) don't
change. Thus, a second build with no input changes always runs faster because
tasks are not being re-run. So running the
cleantask between your builds ensures that you profile the full build process.
// On Mac or Linux, run the Gradle wrapper using "./gradlew". gradlew clean
- Execute a debug build of one of your product flavors, such as the "dev" flavor,
with the following flags:
gradlew --profile --offline --rerun-tasks assembleFlavorDebug
--profile: Enables profiling.
--offline: Disables Gradle from fetching online dependencies. This makes sure than any delays caused by Gradle attempting to update your dependencies don't interfere with your profiling data. You should have already built your project once to make sure Gradle has already downloaded and cached your dependencies.
--rerun-tasks: Forces Gradle to rerun all tasks and ignore any task optimizations.
After the build completes, use the Project window navigate to the
project-root/build/reports/profile/directory (as shown in figure 1).
Right-click the
profile-timestamp.htmlfile and select Open in Browser > Default. The report should look similar to the one shown in figure 2. You can inspect each tab in the report to learn about your build, such as the Task Execution tab which shows how long Gradle took to execute each build task.
Optional: Before making any changes to your project or build configuration, repeat the command in step 3, but omit the
--rerun-tasksflag. Because Gradle attempts to save time by not re-executing tasks whose inputs haven't changed (these are indicated as
UP-TO-DATEin the Task Execution tab of the report, as shown in figure 3), you can identify which tasks are performing work when they shouldn't be. For example, if the
:app:processDevUniversalDebugManifestis not marked as
UP-TO-DATE, it may suggest that your build configuration is dynamically updating the manifest with every build. However, some tasks need to run during each build, such as
Now that you have a build profile report, you can begin looking for
optimization opportunities by inspecting the information in each tab of the
report. Some build settings require experimentation because the benefits may
differ between projects and workstations. For example, projects with a large
codebase may benefit from code shrinking
to remove unused code and shrink the APK size. However, smaller
projects may benefit more from disabling code shrinking altogether. Additionally,
increasing the Gradle heap size (using
org.gradle.jvmargs) might negatively impact performance on low-memory machines.
After making a change to your build configuration, observe the results of your changes by repeating the steps above and generating a new build profile. For example, figure 4 shows a report for the same sample app after applying some of the basic optimizations described in this page.
Tip: For a more robust profiling tool, consider using Gradle's open-source profiler.

Down South: Lunch at the Museum of Appalachia in Tennessee
I did not go to the Museum of Appalachia for lunch. I went for the museum, which you'd imagine would be the draw. And yes, the museuman Appalachian Disneyland of cabins and barns and smokehouses rescued from a 200-mile radius around the museum, stocked with period furnishings, and placed on display with doors open to tourists and the elementsis remarkable. Looking into log rooms where parents raised families of a dozen or more children out on the edges of civilization, and sitting in the darkness of the same log church where hard-working mountain people prayed, brings old Appalachia, buried in so many places beneath the superstores and fast-food chains of modern Appalachia, to life.
I began to suspect there might be something special about the food at the museum, though, when I returned to the main building around noon to see a group of people in suits and work uniforms sitting down to lunch in the little dining area.
"We started this restaurant so that visitors would have something to eat," Elaine Irwin Meyer, museum head and daughter of founder John Rice Irwin, told me, "and back then, we served convenience foodssandwiches, hot dogs. Then it got bigger and bigger, and our food got better, and now people just love to come in here and eat." Meyer pointed out a group from the manufacturing company up the road, the district attorney, and the local police chief, eating with a few of his men.
To provide a quick disclaimer, the people at the museum did know that I was coming. By coincidence, I was among a few special guestsincluding John Rice Irwin, making a rare appearance from retirement to host a couple of friendsthat day. So, while most visitors are limited to the dishes that make it onto the changing daily menu, we tried everything.
By which I mean: fried okra, fried green tomatoes, greens, green beans, pinto beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, cornbread, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, banana pudding, fudge pie, and carrot cake. I may be forgetting a few things.
I am no novice when it comes to any of those dishes. I've been lucky enough to sample many variations on all of them in restaurants across the South. I can count on one handon two or three fingers, reallythe number of places that do all of them as consistently well as the people at the Museum of Appalachia.
There is something special going on in that tiny kitchen, and I know the woman responsible. Her name is Kristy Wells, she is the head cook, and she deserves your attention. Wells, who was in catering before arriving at the Museum of Appalachiaand still is, when she isn't thereis a local. She learned to cook from her mother and grandmother, and does not use recipes. She is warm and self-effacing, and, come mealtime, eager to please.
Every dish that Wells made for us were among the better examples of that dish I've tried anywhere. The fried okra, made with okra from the museum's garden, was crispy but not overly breaded, fried hard but not greasy. The warm greens, green beans, and pinto beans, seasoned with an Appalachian housewife's precision, could keep a person cozy in the middle of a snowstorm. The chicken and dumplings were lazily gelatinous, as they should be, but shot through with tongue-tickling black pepper.
"I love to cook and serve people," says Wells. "Nothing makes me feel any better than putting a plate of food in front of somebody and them enjoying it."
Before she came to the museum, the crowds at lunchtime weren't nearly what they are now. Meyer says that she has seen a significant rise in local business since word-of-mouthand only word-of-mouth, because the museum does not advertise its restaurant anywhere, not even on its signbegan to spread about the new cook.
The museum is awfully lucky to have her. Just as the grounds transport a visitor into a world of log smokehouses and hand-hewn family cabins that hardly exists anywhere else anymore, the cafeteria takes a diner back to the days when grandma could cook a meal, with fresh ingredients from the kitchen garden, to rival the best plates in Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, or Charleston.

Vegan Lasagne
Noodles layered with tomato sauce, roasted eggplant slices, and herbed tofu.
What's lasagna without ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan? To an Italian, it's a travesty. But to a vegan or those with food allergies, it's a delicious and healthy pasta dish that is bound to also please the meat- and dairy-lovers among us. We recommend pairing with our vegan cupcakes.... Read More

The Africa Hotel Investment Forum 2018 will take place in Nairobi on 2-4 October 2018, supported by the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism.
Speaking at the launch of AHIF, Kenya's Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Hon. Najib Balala, said: "I am delighted that we have brought Africa's highest profile hotel investment forum back to Kenya. It will attract the kind of people who have the influence and resources to make a destination successful. At AHIF, we will be making a compelling case for investment in the hospitality sector across Kenya. Nairobi is already the established business hub of East Africa but there is so much more opportunity in our country. For example, Kisumu is offers huge potential for new hotel accommodation and the leisure possibilities on our sea coast is self-evident. We also have another vital asset: a population which is innately friendly, hospitable and keen to serve."

TUNE Jennifer Lang - Fairy Tales
Jennifer Lang's songs are centered around a love theme, and stem from Lang's desire for people to know how important love really is. She does it beautifully with the new album. Her voice conveys sensuality, romance and the heartache of a breakup, which is something that we haven't seen since Toni Braxton hit the scene.
There are moments during this 14-song disc where Lang brings to mind Sade's Quiet Storm soul vibe. But sometimes Sade can come off a little too-cool-for-school, to the extent of making the listener apathetic after a short while. Yet Lang is both smooth and warm at the same time. Something like "Fairy Tales", which -- if not handled correctly -- could have come off a little too cute. In Lang's hands, however, the mystery of love, which can often times be fairy tale-like -- comes through loud and clear.
With 3 O' Clock Saturday, Jennifer Lang has created a batch of fine listening music. And there's a clear distinction, by the way, between 'listening' music and 'dance' music.
A lot of R&B music sounds great in a club or booming from a car stereo. But if you attempt to enjoy such sounds in a stationary position, you may become a little restless. In contrast, Lang's sounds have a calming affect. They make you want to sit back, relax, and take it all in.

There are a number of applications that are natively instrumented with Prometheus metrics. Those applications simply expose the metrics through an HTTP server.
The Prometheus developers and the community are maintaining client libraries for various languages. If you want to monitor your own applications and instrument them natively, chances are there is already a client library for your language.
Not all software is natively instrumented with Prometheus metrics, but still record metrics in some other form. For these kinds of applications there are so called exporters.
Exporters can generally be divided into two categories:
Instance exporters: These expose metrics about a single instance of an application. For example the HTTP requests that a single HTTP server has exporters served. These exporters are deployed as a side-car container in the same pod as the actual instance of the respective application. A real life example is the
dnsmasq metrics sidecar, which converts the proprietary metrics format communicated over the DNS protocol by
dnsmasq to the Prometheus exposition format and exposes it on an HTTP server.
Cluster-state exporters: These expose metrics about an entire system. For example these could be the number of 3D objects in a game, or metrics about a Kubernetes deployment. These exporters are typically deployed as a normal Kubernetes deployment, but can vary depending on the nature of the particular exporter. A real life example of this is the
kube-state-metrics exporter, which exposes metrics about the cluster state of a Kubernetes cluster.
Lastly in some cases it is not a viable option to expose metrics via an HTTP server. For example a
CronJob may only run for a few seconds - not long enough for Prometheus to be able to scrape the HTTP endpoint. The Pushgateway was developed to be able to collect metrics for that kind of a scenario. If possible it is highly recommended not to use the Pushgateway. Read more about when to use the Pushgateway and alternative strategies here: https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/pushing/#should-i-be-using-the-pushgateway.

Experts offer McDonald's improvement advice
- McDonald's has stumbled, but it's taken far worse hits
- Its U.S. operations chief is being replaced
- Experts say better dinner offerings and all-day breakfasts could help
Does Ronald McDonald have ketchup on his sleeve -- or is that blood?
It's probably ketchup. But in an uncertain global environment, that could quickly change for the suddenly struggling fast-food giant.
McDonald's (MCD) CEO Don Thompson on Thursday announced the chain plans to replace its chief of U.S. operations, Jan Fields, with Jeff Stratton, who has been its global chief restaurant officer. Last week ago, McDonald's announced its first monthly sales decline in nearly a decade.
For all the drama at McDonald's, it's faced far rougher times. But the current turmoil could ultimately lead to performance-enhancing changes, such as pushing new products, new meal occasions and acting a bit less fast-food-ish and a bit more like Panera or Chipotle.
That, at least is the opinion of four consultants and brand gurus asked to detail the things McDonald's needs to do to right its course. Their to-do list for McDonald's:
-- Fix dinner. Dinner is where McDonald's struggles most, says Ron Paul, president of research firm Technomic. But it could make dinner far more inviting, he suggests, with a dish that isn't just another sandwich, such as a more upscale chopped steak platter. Add baked potatoes at dinner, he says, and folks have more choices than large or small fries.
-- Serve breakfast all day.Scott Hume, editor of BurgerBusiness.com, says such a strategy would "bring back customers who come for McMuffins, but not burgers."
-- Roll out monthly specials. Limited-time-only products, such as McRibs, are huge, says Paul. McDonald's should have a new one every month to keep folks returning.
-- Sell sausage. Put a $1 bratwurst -- not a hot dog -- on the menu, and it will attract value-conscious consumers, says Hume.
-- Out-customize everyone. Consumers want to make all the calls these days, so McDonald's could take the lead by embracing customization in every way -- and touting it even louder than Burger King, says brand consultant Peter Madden.
-- Stop price creep. Food got too expensive at McDonald's. It needs to "reinvigorate" the $1 price point "to reconnect with price-conscious consumers," says Christopher Muller, dean of Boston University's School of Hospitality Administration.
-- Consider home delivery. Burger King is testing home delivery, and McDonald's should, too, say Paul.
-- Lure Millennials. Much like the Republican party, McDonald's must appeal more to women, minorities and Millennials, says Muller.

Hi, my name is Charina Jones, I am the Historic Environment Record Manager at GGAT. My work is usually quite varied and so today is not really typical of any other day. This morning I have been updating our internal Geographic Information Systems with data relating to Historic Landscapes, Conservation Areas and Archaeologically Sensitive Areas. Having this data to hand complements the main HER data and helps when in comes to making decisions about the resource, for example, when used in archaeological planning.
Following this I attended a Trustee meeting of the HER Charitable Trust, the HER is held in Trust to safeguard its existence and protect it from being treated as a commercial, saleable asset. These meetings occur bi-annually and as manager I present a half yearly report to the Trustees on the activity of the HER – and of course afterwards there is a scrumptious buffet lunch!
This afternoon I have been working on producing letters to accompany a data deposit agreement. We hope that with the co-operation of other organisations, this agreement will enable us to more freely copy and distribute information to enquirers of the HER.
If you would like to search the HER for yourself, visit www.archwilio.org.uk

Video: The Clay Pot Rice King of Chinatown
Editor's Note: Welcome to a new episode of 1 Minute Meal, a series of video snapshots documenting the places, people, and foods that make New York a vibrant food community.
When Delong Chang, a longtime cook in Chinatown, opened A-Wah, he decided to focus on bo zai fan, a dish that was popular where he grew up in southern China. Preparing this comfort dish (listed on the menu as "rice casserole" and typically called "clay pot rice" in English) involves cooking rice in clay pots until the edges are slightly crusty—and in this episode of 1 Minute Meal, Chang explains how the experience of opening that lid should feel. Watch the video below and pay a visit to the restaurant, or its new second location at 48B Bowery.

When I found out about the Day of Archaeology, my heart went out to it. I was inspired to write about this day to make the world know what all these supposedly dusty archaeologists are working on. Let me put my grain of sand to it! As an archaeologist, I am working for 10 years now in a remote region of South America: the Altiplano de Sama in South Bolivia. Home to a overwhelming regional culture called Yavi-Chicha, which has been consistent for as long as 1000 years between 500 and 1535 A.C. We don't know much about it, and that is where all my questions about it come from. Who were these people? Why were they so self-constrained but at the same time so widely spread in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina? Apart from this archaeological work I have been writing at Language of Things on materiality, museums, archaeology and other musings. Its kind of a non-scientific channel of work.
And it was when I heard about the actual DAY of archaeology, the 11th of July, that I realized that maybe my Day of Archaeology would depict something typical of archaeological work, but that is NOT included in the least in the popular vision of "the shovel-swinging archaeologist". It´s the fact that I won't be doing "archaeology" in the term of "working in the field/lab". Instead, I will be dedicating half of the day to the work that earns my and my family´s daily bread. Which has nothing whatsoever to do with archaeology. And the other half of the day I organized someone who will take care to pick up my son from school and I myself will be off: to a course on museum on "Teaching & Curating". And by now, I can almost see the question marks in the eyes of everyone. What the hell has all this to do with archaeology? I can tell you.
Archaeology, as has been stated over and over by some awful colleagues (have a look here, if you like), is a job which is almost always underpaid. That is, if you get a job at all. Which I haven't. At least not an archaeological one. I am working in an office, and all my archaeological work, the writing, thinking and analyzing sherds, has been reduced to my spare time. Which is not much, considering that I am alone with my son because his dad is doing an extended fieldwork session far away (which I support, by the way, so I won't complain about this). But this means that time is reduced to the wee hours of the night. And I am not alone in this – almost every archaeologist I know has some sideline of work that has NOTHING to do with archaeology – but it pays our rent.
Over the years, this situation became more and more intolerable to my archaeological soul and I decided to go off and try another line of work, one with is more in line with archaeology. Which is where the second half of my "Day of Archaeology" comes in. Curating & teaching at a museum is in line with my fervent belief that we have to communicate archaeology and the past, as much and as best we can. So I took this course consisting of 5 modules, and am learning about curating & teaching at the museum. I am trying for a year now to get into it, but museums (as well as archaeology as a career) scarcely offer "real" jobs. And I can't afford to apply to almost unpaid internships. And I can't be taking courses which require me to move house for 6 months and stay away from my home for weeks on end. Someone was joking these days that archaeologists don't have kids and its true: doing archaeology is difficult if you want to raise children at the same time.
So, this is my day of archaeology: earning the daily bread in an office. Going off by noon, I switch over to the museum to take the course in order to get back to a job related to archaeology. And in the night, after sharing s´thoughts with colleagues as concerned with museum teaching as I am, I will be reading literature on sherds and ceramic analysis. Because in the end, something wonderful has happened: I can prepare myself and our son for a trip to South America, going to analyze some hundred sherds of the formative and regional period – i.e. between 500 b.C. – 1535 a.C. I got funded for a four-week-trip and we will be doing this together. That's the other side of archaeology: you get all the "exotic" fieldwork you ever wanted. So I will be back to where the photo above comes from: Bolivia. Seeing pots.
And this means that, again, I have to be 100 % prepared on topics like "style", "material culture" and the meaning of things in a society that lived some 600-1000 years ago. It's one of the most fascinating works Ive ever known and I have to admit that I will never cease to speak about its relevance to us. These sherds mean so much to the people that live right now in this region, that they founded a society that reincarnates the past to the living people. They claim to be descendants of the producers of this ceramic I am studying. They see these past people as their ancestors, as their cultural roots. If THIS is not relevance of the past to the here and now, I don't know what could ever be relevant. It´s risky and its controversial, but it IS a real connection of today's people to a past. A past that has been created and transformed, but a past that matters in a very direct way to many persons.
So, maybe my "Day of Archaeology" can sum up some parts of archaeology, even if I am not working currently in an archaeological job. But the non-archaeological bread winning, the desire of being currently developing skills to communicate our field of study and the practical work of studying a part of the past that is relevant to living people – maybe these three things can make clear what archaeologists do.
Let´s do it again&again&again!

Crosstown rivalry has changed, but still intense
CLEVELAND -- Paul Konerko and John Danks, the two most senior White Sox players currently on the roster, admit the Cubs/White Sox Interleague rivalry isn't quite what it once was.
Maybe that rivalry changed in 2003, when the Cubs came within five outs of reaching the World Series. It definitely changed when the White Sox swept Houston for the 2005 championship and city bragging rights.
"When I first got here [in 1999], the focus was -- I think some of our fans might have even felt that winning the season series against the Cubs almost is more important than making the playoffs, which is crazy," Konerko said. "That was kind of the sentiment: If you beat them, then we don't care about the rest.
"Just make sure you beat the Cubs. But I think as both teams made the playoffs a couple of times or we won the World Series, we had our sights set on bigger things, and so did they."
This Interleague battle begins again on Monday night, with two games at Wrigley Field, followed by two games at U.S. Cellular Field. The Crosstown Cup will be decided by May 8, which seems a little weird to those on the South Side.
"It shouldn't be in May. It should be in June or July," Konerko said. "That heightens it."
"You never know when it's the right time to have them, but you feel like the season is just really getting started and you're having this," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of the earliest meeting between these two teams. "It's fun. It might be good for us, at the right time."
The crazy atmosphere amidst these contests might have been knocked down a notch. But the Cubs vs. White Sox games still carry a different feel than any other game outside of the postseason.
"Obviously, you try to go about it like you would any other game," said Danks, who will pitch Wednesday. "It feels different when you roll into Wrigley and both fan bases are there and it's a fun game to play in. It really is. Hopefully, we do a little better this year."
"It's not exactly the playoffs, but it's not exactly regular-season games, either," Konerko said. "It feels different. Most players look forward to that, because it kind of gets you out of that rut of just playing games every single day."

Smart Energy Regions - COST Action TU1104
The COST Action TU1104 'Smart Energy Regions' started in March 2012 and ended in March 2016. During its four years of activity, the Action established a network of more than 70 researchers from 27 European countries and Israel, allowing the exchange of experience and engagement with local policy-makers and stakeholders.
The aim of the Action was to investigate drivers and barriers that impact on the large scale implementation of low carbon technologies in the built environment, essential to meet the targets for sustainable development set by EU and national governments.
The Action organised a Training School on energy retrofit for fifteen early-stage researchers, and enabled twenty-two researchers to conduct Short Term Scientific Missions in partner institutions. The main outputs of the Action are three publications collecting contributions from Action members on the topics of low carbon policy, technology, skills, training, supply chains, and cost and value. These and the other outputs of the Action can be found in the Outputs page, or clicking the links below.

A four-year-old Florida boy who has leukemia will have to stay with his grandparents after a judge refused to grant custody of the child to his parents. Taylor Bland and Joshua McAdams lost custody of their son Noah earlier in the year after they decided to stop his chemotherapy treatment. They wanted to pursue alternative therapies and took him out of state for a second opinion.
Judge Thomas Palermo ruled that Bland and McAdams deprived their son of necessary medical care and did not believe their promises to continue with his treatment. He pointed out their attempts to evade law enforcement when they took Noah out of state and that they did not have any plans to get him legitimate medical treatment.
"Parents have a fundamental right to parent their child, but that is not one without limits," Palermo said. "They were choosing between life and death for their child."
Noah underwent two rounds of chemotherapy and was in remission when his parents decided to end the treatments. Doctors advised them against it and said the young boy required two and a half years of "maintenance chemotherapy" to ensure he remains cancer-free. The chemotherapy has 90-95% success rate, and Palermo explained that "there was no alternative with a remote chance of success."
Bland and McAdams are considering an appeal but can regain custody of Noah if they work with child protection agencies and comply with the recommendations for their son's medical care.

About Us
You dig the savings, We'll dig the holes!
Moon Valley Nurseries started with one small location in a neighborhood north of downtown Phoenix known as "Moon Valley". Keeping things simple, owner Les Blake began this nursery with the name "Moon Valley Nursery". One of the things that Les found in the early days was that folks were always asking about having trees planted. (Back then, it was rare to find a nursery that offered package pricing where the price of the tree or trees included planting and warranty. In many cases, you had to contract with someone else to get the tree and do the planting.)
Moon Valley Nursery thus began offering it's "you buy it and we plant it" tree deals, where everything from design thru delivery and installation was performed by the nursery staff. This service was an immediate hit with clients and remains so to this day. Word spread rapidly and because of these services it became apparent that a better supply was going to be needed for the future.
Realizing that buying trees from other suppliers didn't provide enough quantity, and quality ranged from good to not so good, Moon Valley Nursery also began growing its own trees in order to maintain the highest level of quality that their customers had come to expect.
Fast forward to the present day and you'll still find the same principles at work when you visit any of the numerous Moon Valley Nurseries in Arizona. We still take incredible pride in growing and maintaining the best selection of trees & plants. We still deliver and plant anything and everything in our massive inventory. Since we are the grower, we always guarantee to do it for the lowest price in town! All of our locations feature friendly staff members with many years of experience who believe in the same principles and are always willing to go the extra mile for our customers.
Whether you need just a tree or two, or an entire landscape, come see the Moon Valley difference for yourself.
Bigger trees, better service and always the best price… Guaranteed.
From our farms… to your yard!

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) introduces a new fiber and connector technology developed for Intel® Corporation to support its upcoming Intel Silicon Photonics Technology® products.
Intel challenged Corning to design optical connectivity solutions to enable Intel Silicon Photonics Technology (SPT) products in development. The resulting combination of the Intel and Corning technologies is expected to help send massive amounts of data - up to 1.6 terabits per second - at lengths up to 300 meters into and around servers in data centers, helping speed the industry's transition to cloud computing, big data and rack-scale architectures.
"Our upcoming products require connectivity technology that complements the high speed and advanced capabilities of silicon photonics, and that is also tailored for the specific needs of data centers," said Mario Paniccia, Intel fellow and general manager, Silicon Photonics operation. "As a world leader in fiber technology, Corning is uniquely qualified to be the first to deliver these capabilities."
Corning analyzed Intel's technology requirements and developed Corning® ClearCurve® LX Multimode Fiber, designed to enable 25G transmission at 1310 nm, the wavelength used in silicon photonic systems, and capable of the tight bends within and around data center components. In addition, Corning developed the MXC Connector, which provides up to 64-fiber connectivity in a smaller footprint and at a lower cost than most traditional multi-fiber connectors. When configured with 64 fibers, this solution is designed to deliver data rates up to 1.6 terabits per second. http://opcomm.corning.com/1-CorningSiPh
"We relish the opportunity to develop innovative solutions that solve tough problems for our customers," said Clark Kinlin, executive vice president, Corning Telecommunications Business Group.

Personal traits are what make you different from other people. We each have our own blend of characteristics, but it's important to know the difference between your traits and your skills because talking about traits when an employer is looking for skills will send the wrong message.
If you say,"I love working with people" when the interviewer asks you a skills-based question, you're answering a skills question with a trait. Responses such as this can give the impression you're unsure what you can offer, and you miss the opportunity to build a connection between your skills and the employer's needs.
Hiring decision-makers want to hear about your set of skills, and how you can help them accomplish their goals.
Here are some of the most common traits — forget these when describing skills:
- energetic
- dependable
- determined
- focused
- intuitive
- loyal
- honest
- persistent
- punctual
- responsible
- love working with people
If you are in the process of changing jobs or thinking about moving to a different field, take the time to list all your transferable skills. Transferable skills are those you have accumulated throughout your career that can be transferred from one job to the next.
Not only will the list help you identify skills, it will help strengthen your message to potential employers. You also can use this list of skills to help look for opportunities.
If you're having trouble separating skills and traits, think in terms of action verbs for skills, such as:
- training
- implementing
- leading
- promoting
- developing
- presenting
- organizing
- planning

I am the Bord Na Móna Project Archaeologist and this year we are inaugurating a new 3 year campaign of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigations in the peatlands of Ireland.
The Irish peatlands because of their waterlogged anaerobic environment are an internationally important repository of archaeological sites and artefacts as well as ancient environmental and climatic biofacts. They preserve evidence ranging from human remains, settlements and trackways and platforms to food and artefacts, plants, pollen, insects, amoeba and even the fallout from ancient volcanic eruptions.
Bord Na Móna is the state sponsored company with interests in energy, fuel supply, horticulture, waste management and the environmental markets, and has the responsibility to manage a large part of Ireland's peat resource. The company owns and manages some 80,000 hectares of lands, the majority of which are peatlands. Archaeological survey of the peatlands over the last 30 years has resulted in the discovery of many archaeological sites and structures preserved within peat. Bord Na Móna has the responsibility to organise and finance the archaeological investigation of its peatlands in advance of peat harvesting. My role as Project Archaeologist is to work, under the terms of the Code of Practice between the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, the National Museum of Ireland and Bord na Móna and identify the archaeological sites to be investigated. I am responsible for developing a programme of investigations and assisting with the selection of archaeological consultants to carry out the work through the EU tender framework. I also manage the implementation and delivery of the project investigations including analysis and reporting. Over the next 3 years we will be investigating more than a hundred archaeological sites in bogs in counties Longford, Offaly, Roscommon and Westmeath.
This week we are advancing the work by precisely re-locating and marking sites to be investigated. This will allow us to identify the best places to open excavation cuttings. The work involves finding the coordinates of the monuments identified during earlier surveys with GPS, checking their condition and deciding on the optimal placement of excavation trenches. The work is physically demanding and requires walking long distances over the bog and jumping across dozens of deep water-filled drains. The monuments include trackways and platforms that range in date from the Neolithic to the Medieval period and are visible at various depths in the faces of the drains and sometimes on the surface. Sometimes in the course of the work we make a new find, like the Medieval leather shoe illustrated above, that was identified by a keen-eyed member of the team earlier in the week. The moccasin shoe had a leather sole and was probably lost when an earlier bog walker stepped into a bog hole. Unable to retrieve it they had to make the long trudge back home with only a single shoe. Luckily we made it back with all our boots and equipment intact! The shoe will be conserved and analysed and sent to the National Museum for permanent curation.

Bethesda beats any potential fan-made Fallout 3demakes to the punch by creating its own for the Japanese Fallout website. It's all in Japanese, but old school role-playing is the universal language.
Or not. I can't understand a thing that's going on over at the Japanese game site. I can make out a couple of yes or no questions, but what I am agreeing to or denying is completely beyond me. If you read Japanese, feel free to go check it out and report back what you find. If you don't read Japanese, enjoy the pretty pictures and squiggly lines.
Update: Bethesda originally listed this as a Fallout: New Vegas demake on its blog, but then switched it to Fallout 3 shortly thereafter. Sneaky developers. We've updated the post accordingly.

Coello still waiting to resume throwing
ANAHEIM -- When the Angels left Anaheim for Chicago, Seattle and the All-Star break, reliever Robert Coello traveled to Arizona to continue his rehab.
Coello had hoped a visit to the doctor on July 15 would allow him to start a throwing program, but that's not the way it turned out.
"He's not throwing the baseball yet, but his rehab is going well," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of Coello, who is still in Arizona.
The 28-year old is currently on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, but previously acknowledged progress in his shoulder.
"So far, it's feeling better. Better movement, rotation," Coello said on July 6. "It's all like everybody says, build up until I start throwing again and then we will see where we're at."
Although Coello is progressing, there is still no timetable as to when he could begin a throwing program.
Coello has not pitched since June 9 because of the injury, but had posted a 4.30 ERA in 14 2/3 innings this season.

From the opening pages of Crichton's electrifying new thriller, his first in three years, readers will know they are in the hands of a master storyteller (Timeline, Jurassic Park, etc.). The book begins with a brief intro noting the concerns of Crichton (and others) with the nascent field of nanotechnology, "the quest to build manmade machinery of extremely small size, on the order of... a hundred billionths of a meter"—for this is a cautionary novel, one with a compelling message, as well as a first-rate entertainment.
Rare for Crichton, the novel is told in the first person, by Jack Forman, a stay-at-home dad since he was fired from his job as a head programmer for a Silicon Valley firm. In the novel's first third, Crichton, shades of his Disclosure, smartly explores sexual politics as Jack struggles with self-image and his growing suspicion that his dynamic wife, Julia, a v-p for the technology firm Xymos, is having an affair. But here, via several disturbing incidents, such as Jack's infant daughter developing a mysterious and painful rash, Crichton also seeds the intense drama that follows after Julia is hospitalized for an auto accident, and Jack is hired by Xymos to deal with trouble at the company's desert plant. There, he learns that Xymos is manufacturing nanoparticles that, working together via predator/prey software developed by Jack, are intended to serve as a camera for the military. The problem, as Crichton explains in several of the myriad (and not always seamlessly integrated) science lessons that bolster the narrative, is that groups of simple agents acting on simple instructions, without a central control, will evolve unpredictable, complex behaviors (e.g., termites building a termite mound). To meet deadlines imposed by financial pressures, Xymos has taken considerable risks. One swarm of nanoparticles has escaped the lab and is now evolving quickly—adapting to desert conditions, feeding off mammalian flesh (including human), reproducing and learning mimicry—leading to the novel's shocking, downbeat ending.
Crichton is at the top of his considerable game here, dealing with a host of important themes (runaway technology, the deleterious influence of money on science) in a novel that's his most gripping since Jurassic Park. In the long run, this new book won't prove as popular as that cultural touchstone (dinos, nanoparticles aren't), but it'll be a smash hit and justifiably so.

To wrap up our Frugal and Simple Laundry Series today, I am going to be sharing just a few tips for managing your laundry. Like I have said before, laundry in our house can seem to get out of control pretty quickly....and we only have four people! Having a good routine and schedule helps me to stay on top of it and make sure my family has clean clothes that actually get put away.
When I first started working out a system for our laundry, I tried doing a laundry day. I would leave all laundry till Monday, then knock it all out in one day. Sounds great right? You only have one day of dreaded laundry and the rest of the week you don't have to think about it.
After the first week of trying this system, I quickly found it was not for us! I ended up with about 11 loads of laundry. I couldn't believe the amount of laundry we had gone through in just one week! It ended up taking me till Wednesday to finally get it all finished up. It was a disaster.
So I ditched that system. However, it may still work for you. If you only have 2 or 3 people in your family and don't use cloth diapers. Your laundry mountain may be a more manageable size, making it possible for you to get it all done in one day.
Here is the system we finally did settle on...
1-2 loads of laundry per day. Washed, dried, folded, and put away that same day.
I love this system. It is simple, manageable, and helps me stay on top of things.
I wash 1 load of clothing each day...
Every day I check our laundry basket to see which load (lights, whites, brights, or darks) needs to be washed that day. I try to alternate each day what load I do to make sure they all get washed in a timely manner and we don't end up with moldy clothes that have been at the bottom of the basket. Yuck!
I wash 1 load of towels or diapers each day...
I alternate every other day between towels or diapers. Since we basically us cloth everything (diapers, wipes, hand towels, kitchen towels, napkins, table cloths, and our Un-paper Towels) it is very important that I keep fresh, clean ones ready to be used.
This is basically what my schedule looks like:
Monday: Load of dark clothes. Load of sheets.
Tuesday: Load of white clothes. Load of diapers.
Wednesday: Load of light clothes. Load of towels.
Thursday: Load of brights/dark clothes. Load of diapers.
Friday: Load of white clothes. Load of towels or another load of clothes (which ever is needed more)
Saturday: Load of clothing or towels. Load of diapers.
Sunday: Rest :-)
As our family grows I will probably have to make some adjustments or even change my system completely. But, for now, this works perfectly!
Here are a few other laundry systems that I found that may work for your family (or even mine in the future)...
Personal Responsibility System
-As your children get older they can be responsible for washing, folding, and putting away their own laundry. Assign each child a day that is their wash day.
I think this system could be great since it teaches your child responsibility for their own clothing. They have to learn how to manage their clothing so it lasts them all week. Plus, they actually learn how to do laundry. It may take a while to train your children how to properly do their laundry. Additionally, you may have some kids who throw dirty clothes back into their drawers to avoid doing laundry.
Room by Room System
-Each room is assigned a day when their clothing gets washed.
Monday- Towels & Diapers
Tuesday -Girls Room
Wednesday -Boys Room
Thursday - Towels & Diapers
Friday - Master Bedroom
Saturday -Sheets & Towels or diapers
Pick a system that works for your family! One that won't leave you feeling stressed out or overwhelmed.
A few of my favorite laundry tips:
-Hate matching socks? Put each persons socks into a mesh bag. They get washed, and you don't have to hunt for t matching pair!
-Hate putting your clothes away? Everything too crammed? De-clutter it! Only keep a set amount of clothing for each person. Get rid of the rest, sell it or donate it!
-Put kids clothes away in their dresser in outfits. This way little ones can grab their own clothes out and actually match! If you really want to you can even label: Monday, Tuesday, etc.
-Have a family closet. I love the idea of all the clothes in one place!
Here are a few awesome ideas found on Pinterest for organizing and managing your laundry:
Laundry Basket Dresser. Find the how to here on Ana-White.com
Great Solution if you are limited on space! Directions to make your own found here.
Love this idea for reuniting lost socks! From Decor-ganized Crafts
I definitely need to do this! From Better Homes and Gardens.
I think something like this would be great in kids rooms! Rather than use a dresser have their clothes in easily accessible, under the bed, carts! From Martha Stewart.
Organize your bed linens in their own pillowcase. Marthastewart.com
I love this idea! Much cheaper than storage tubs! From Attempting Aloha.
