Truffle 3.0 offers a ton of new features. With it comes some very important breaking changes. These breaking changes make network management easier, make contract abstractions easier to use, and allow you to install third party packages from any number of sources. We consider these breaking changes helpful -- they're due to the careful maturation of Ethereum's most popular development tool, and we'll guide you through the steps needed to take advantage of all these new features.\n// This is new code for Truffle 3.0!\nTruffle 2.0 had an odd configuration -- we admit it. Not only can you have a default, unnamed network sitting around (the rpc configuration option) but you can also have named networks like "ropsten" or "live". A result of this default vs. named distinction came were other oddities, such as accidentally overwriting important network artifacts or deploying to the wrong network. With Truffle 3.0 we fixed all that, but it requires a change in your configuration.\nWhat's the difference? First, there's no default network anymore: the rpc configuration item has been removed. In its place is a specially named development network. This is a network that will match any network it connects to at the specified host and port, and when running commands like migrate Truffle will default to this network if none is specified. If you'd like to protect yourself from deploying to the wrong network completely, you can remove the development configuration entirely; if you don't specify the network via truffle migrate --network ropsten, for example, Truffle will exit with an error, ensuring you never deploy to a network you don't intend to.\nAdditionally, each network needs to have a network id specified, or a "*". This is another security measure used during migrations to ensure that even _if_ Truffle connects to the Ethereum client at the specified host and port, if it's not the network you intend, Truffle will error before attempting any deployments.\nAs Truffle 3.0 uses the new Ethereum Package Manager (EthPM) we need to tell Truffle when the package manager should be used and when to look in the local directory. If you don't specify the directory to search relative to the contracts/ directory, it will assume that EthPM will handle this.\nThe ./ tells Truffle that the contract is in the current directory. See the Compiling contracts page for more details.\nBefore package management, Truffle could assume that all the contracts you wrote yourself were the contracts you wanted to interact with via your migrations and tests. Now that package management is here, this is no longer a safe assumption -- contract dependencies can come from any number of sources, and so you have to explicitly ask for those abstractions yourself. This is all in the name of reducing magic. Let's look at an example migration.\nNote there are a couple differences. For this section, the changes we'll focus on are the two lines which use artifacts.require(). This is a function similar to Node's require() statement provided by Truffle. If given a path to a solidity file local to your project, or the path of a package dependency, this function will locate the correct artifacts and make them ready for use on your current network.\nLike the section above, autolinking was a boon of a very small dependency tree. With package management, Truffle can no longer autolink your contracts because it can't determine all possible dependencies you might need within your migration. Instead, you need to explicitly link your libraries yourself. Fortunately this is not hard, and you can see the changes we made in the example above.\nSo what should you do if you've been using Truffle 2.0 and have important contract artifacts you'd like to save? Easy. Upgrade them! We built you a handy tool that does just that.\nBy default sjsu only creates newer, .json versions of your artifacts and leaves the original .sol.js files alone. You'll need to remove the .sol.js files from this directory in order for Truffle 3.0 to function properly. Before removing, check to ensure that the converted .json files were created properly, and perhaps as a safeguard backup your old .sol.js files somewhere else before continuing.\nSuccessfully deleted old .sol.js files.\nAnd that's it! You're now ready to move onto the next step.\nIn Truffle 2.0, your contract abstractions managed your networks in a naive way, and added constructs like a "default network" that opened up the possibility of using the wrong network artifacts and deployed addresses at the wrong time. This provided a fancy and easy to use syntax -- i.e., MyContract.deployed().myFunction(...) -- but it left your code open to errors. Truffle 3.0 changes this syntax, where .deployed() is now thennable, like a promise (see example below). Similarly, this makes your contract abstractions seamlessly integrate with EIP 190, Ethereum's package management standard. All of this is for the better, but it means you'll have some changes to make all across the board.\nThis syntax is a little more verbose, but it ensures the correct network artifacts are used based on the Ethereum client the abstraction is connected to.\nPeople have long complained that events are hard to watch for in Web3. Similarly, in most use cases, events aren't used via a contract observer pattern; instead, in practice, events are used to check specific results of a specific transaction. Though the contract observer pattern for events is still available, we made the latter use case much easier, which required breaking changes to the return value of transactions.\nIn v2.0, a transaction simply returned the transaction hash. In v3.0, transactions return a result object with a wealth of information about that transaction.\n// This result object is what provides us with the information we need.\n// result.logs, specifically for this example.\nWe have to search through all returned events to ensure we found the one we wanted, but this is certainly better than using PackageIndex.ReleasePublished.watch(...), and we can keep event processing within our application's (or test's) normal control flow.\nIn Truffle 1.0 and 2.0, things were heavily geared toward building web applications, and so Truffle shipped with a default build pipeline that could get your dapp up and running quickly. This build pipeline was magical: It did everything for you, and you didn't have to lift a finger. This was good for some use cases, but it became evidently clear that in any other use case the pipeline was very brittle.\nOver the last year, Ethereum-enabled applications have only been growing. What started out as solely a platform for web application, now dapps can be written in native languages and run as standalone applications on mobile and the desktop. Truffle has always intended to support these use cases, and so that's why we removed the default build pipeline from Truffle. You can still write your own custom build pipeline if you'd like to tightly integrate it with Truffle, but by default Truffle will focus on continuing to be the best tool for smart contracts around. We'll let the better build pipelines -- like webpack, browserify, Grunt, Metalsmith -- do the job of, well, building.\nNow, just because the build pipeline has been removed by default doesn't mean you don't have options. At Truffle, we care about your developer experience and so would never leave you hanging. In general there are two options for you to choose from, but for the latter option what you'll do is heavily dependent on which build tool (i.e., webpack) you choose to use. Let's go over the options below.\nIf you're using the default build pipeline in Truffle 2.0 and would like to upgrade to 3.0, you're not out of luck. We've upgraded the truffle-default-builder so it can work seamlessly with Truffle 3.0. This will be the last time we update the default builder though as engineering for all possible use cases is too complex. So we recommend you eventually choose a different build system later down the line.\nYou'll notice that in version 3.0 we require'd the default builder as a dependency and then passed that object into our configuration. Otherwise, the configuration was the same!\nNow, be aware that the default builder does use the latest contract abstractions (truffle-contract), so you will still need to edit your application to account for the breaking changes mentioned above.\nCustom build processes are not hard to write. Instead, what's hard is writing a build process that fits all shapes and sizes. We now recommend you look into the many build tools available to you that best fits your application. We've already mentioned webpack, browserify, Grunt, and Metalsmith, but there are many others, and their features run the gamut based on the context of the application being built and the features that you need.\nGet all your contract artifacts into your build pipeline / application. This includes all of the .json files within the ./build/contracts directory.\nTurn those .json contract artifacts into contract abstractions that are easy to use, via truffle-contract.\nProvision those contract abstractions with a Web3 provider. In the browser, this provider might come from Metamask or Mist, but it could also be a custom provider you've configured to point to Infura or any other Ethereum client.\nThat's it! That's all you need to know to upgrade from Truffle 2.0 to 3.0. It might require a bit of work, but the changes are surely worth it. If you have questions, Truffle has a vibrant community of Trufflers available 24/7 to help you with any issues you may have. Don't hesitate to ask for help, and we wish you a happy 3.0! |
On April 12, 2019 during the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society’s reception at the 72nd Annual Kentucky Foreign Language Conference in Lexington, Kentucky, Professor Raúl Carrillo Arciniega was inducted in the Order of José Martí, one of the Society’s highest honors. Dr. Carrillo Arciniega’s exceptional contributions to Hispanism earned him this international distinction.\nProfessor Mark P. Del Mastro’s essay “Sigma Delta Pi and the AATSP: A Shared Century of Leadership and Collaboration” has been published in the March 2019 issue of Hispania. This “Special Note” connects to Dr. Del Mastro’s ongoing research for his book Sigma Delta Pi: Rediscovering a Century (1919-2019) that will be published by Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs in 2020.\nOn Wednesday December 5, 2018 at 7:00pm at the Spanish Benevolent Society in New York City, Professor Mark P.

We’re sorry if you’re on this page, it means something happened or there’s a problem. We'll fix it, don’t worry. We ask you first of all to evaluate, objectively, whether it is an emergency or a problem.\nAn emergency is for example the need for a doctor, an accident, a sudden return to your country.\nA problem, for example, is if you can’t find the taxi driver at the airport (for adults), if you find the bed unpacked or your room isn’t clean, to be in a class of a different english level or if you want to change room for any reason.\nIf you have an emergency during working hours and you aren’t alone (so while you are in school or while the school is open), before making an emergency call, ask help to the people who are with you or call your family at home. If the emergency is solvable by the school staff, turn directly to the people who are on the spot: for example, if during a school excursion you get hurt, do not contact InMalta, but talk to your guide right away and ask for a doctor or an ambulance. If you are alone contact InMalta.\nIf you have an emergency during working hours (Monday to Friday from 8am to 7pm) and you are alone, call 02.80886385 and speak with the first available operator. If all the operators are busy, leave a message in the secretary, you will be contacted within a short time.\nIf you have a non-working time emergency (from 19:00 to 08:00 Monday to Friday and from 00:00 to 24:00 on Saturdays and Sundays) call 02.80886385 and select, by voice, 2 times Key 1. The call will be transferred to our emergency staff. If this attempt doesn’t go in port (let the phone ring more than you can), call 366.3739448.\nIf you have a problem during working hours (so while you are in school or while the school is open), you can talk to your teacher, the school director, the administration, the booking office or with the housing office. If you have problems to explain your problem in English , don’t worry, ask to speak in Italian (Maltese understand Italian), if your contact is not Maltese, ask help to anybody that speaks English or ask your interlocutor to speak in Italian . The schools want to take care of your welfare and want you to feel good and have no problems, so they will resolve the situation. Ask how long it will take to resolve your problem. If you are satisfied, be patient and wait.. If nothing happens within the time given by the school or if you are not satisfied, contact InMalta, we will contact the school and try to resolve the situation.\nIf you have a problem at non working hours and the problem is not objectively an emergency, wait for the school to reopen. If the problem can turn into an emergency soon, contact the "emergency numbers" of the school you chose. Find them in the acceptance letter or in the confirmation of your booking. If you can’t contact the school through emergency numbers, contact InMalta. |
In its Tourism & Technology Trends report, produced ahead of Arabian Travel Market 2017, Colliers International named five trends driving the travel industry.\nThese include biometric-enabled baggage solutions; cloud passports; personalised travel; spontaneous travel apps; and virtual reality travel.\nSimon Press, senior exhibition director, Arabian Travel Market, said: “Biometric technology will play a significant role in the evolution of baggage tracking systems and immigration clearance, with some forward thinking names already introducing such technology to the industry, such as Dutch airline KLM and Dubai International Airport.\n“In addition, we can expect travel related services to be further developed to enhance personalisation through guest data.\nOn the other side of the industry, Colliers has identified four defining evolutions of hospitality technology.\nThe first is the utilisation of beacons to pilot Bluetooth across public spaces, allowing for on demand flash marketing within the property or guest identification.\nThe second, ease of alternative accommodations, focusses on channels such as Airbnb, and the increasing appetite for experiential travel without the need for hotels.\nIn addition, virtual payment systems and integrated smart phone apps are also tipped to be highly influential.\nPress added: “When it comes to technology in hospitality we have seen a complete transformation of the hotel space over the last decade and that same pace of change is set to continue.\n“This will be based on connectivity and the sharing economy.\nVirtual reality travel has already been popularised by Marriott International with its Travel Brilliantly campaign, which heavily focused on promoting destinations first.\nThe chain has also pioneered VRoom Service, a first-of-its-kind guest service that allows guests to order inspiring virtual reality experiences to their rooms, created in collaboration with Samsung Electronics America.\nIn Dubai, Emaar Hospitality was one of the first to introduce in-room iPads for guest to do everything from book dinner to control their environment and even draw the curtains.\nThe use of the iPads helped to increase in-room spending through flash promotions sent directly to guests.\nPress added: “Like the rest of the world, the travel industry is adapting to our highly digitised lives and this is presenting huge opportunities for innovative thinkers to pioneer new solutions.\nATM 2017 will take place from April 24th-27th at the Dubai World Trade Centre. |

Henri Barbusse war ein französischer Politiker und Schriftsteller.\nContext: There are all those things against you. Against you and your great common interests which as you dimly saw are the same thing in effect as justice, there are not only the sword-wavers, the profiteers, and the intriguers. There is not only the prodigious opposition of interested parties — financiers, speculators great and small, armorplated in their banks and houses, who live on war and live in peace during war, with their brows stubbornly set upon a secret doctrine and their faces shut up like safes. There are those who admire the exchange of flashing blows, who hail like women the bright colors of uniforms; those whom military music and the martial ballads poured upon the public intoxicate as with brandy; the dizzy-brained, the feeble-minded, the superstitious, the savages. There are those who bury themselves in the past, on whose lips are the sayings only of bygone days, the traditionalists for whom an injustice has legal force because it is perpetuated, who aspire to be guided by the dead, who strive to subordinate progress and the future and all their palpitating passion to the realm of ghosts and nursery-tales. With them are all the parsons, who seek to excite you and to lull you to sleep with the morphine of their Paradise, so that nothing may change. There are the lawyers, the economists, the historians — and how many more? — who befog you with the rigmarole of theory, who declare the inter-antagonism of nationalities at a time when the only unity possessed by each nation of to-day is in the arbitrary map-made lines of her frontiers, while she is inhabited by an artificial amalgam of races; there are the worm-eaten genealogists, who forge for the ambitious of conquest and plunder false certificates of philosophy and imaginary titles of nobility. The infirmity of human intelligence is short sight. In too many cases, the wiseacres are dunces of a sort, who lose sight of the simplicity of things, and stifle and obscure it with formulae and trivialities. It is the small things that one learns from books, not the great ones. And even while they are saying that they do not wish for war they are doing all they can to perpetuate it. They nourish national vanity and the love of supremacy by force. "We alone," they say, each behind his shelter, "we alone are the guardians of courage and loyalty, of ability and good taste!" Out of the greatness and richness of a country they make something like a consuming disease. Out of patriotism — which can be respected as long as it remains in the domain of sentiment and art on exactly the same footing as the sense of family and local pride, all equally sacred — out of patriotism they make a Utopian and impracticable idea, unbalancing the world, a sort of cancer which drains all the living force, spreads everywhere and crushes life, a contagious cancer which culminates either in the crash of war or in the exhaustion and suffocation of armed peace. They pervert the most admirable of moral principles. How many are the crimes of which they have made virtues merely by dowering them with the word "national"? They distort even truth itself. For the truth which is eternally the same they substitute each their national truth. So many nations, so many truths; and thus they falsify and twist the truth. Those are your enemies. All those people whose childish and odiously ridiculous disputes you hear snarling above you — "It wasn't me that began, it was you!" — "No, it wasn't me, it was you!" — "Hit me then!" — "No, you hit me!" — those puerilities that perpetuate the world's huge wound, for the disputants are not the people truly concerned, but quite the contrary, nor do they desire to have done with it; all those people who cannot or will not make peace on earth; all those who for one reason or another cling to the ancient state of things and find or invent excuses for it — they are your enemies! They are your enemies as much as those German soldiers are to-day who are prostrate here between you in the mud, who are only poor dupes hatefully deceived and brutalized, domestic beasts. They are your enemies, wherever they were born, however they pronounce their names, whatever the language in which they lie. Look at them, in the heaven and on the earth. Look at them, everywhere! Identify them once for all, and be mindful for ever! |

With the Melbourne property in a much-awaited cooling off period, now is the time for buyers with finance pre-approval to swoop. Yes, there are fewer discretionary vendors offering their property for sale as they are waiting for a more vendor weighted market, but we are still seeing good numbers of quality properties ripe for the picking.\nOur advice to clients remains unchanged no matter what time in the property cycle we happen to be buying in. Avoid the bargain hunter mentality. What we mean by this is, steer clear of making property selection decisions based on which property appears to be the biggest bargain. Properties that are inferior in terms of location, quality of accommodation, proximity to amenities and architectural style will continue to underperform as the factors are unlikely or impossible to change.\nThe way to spot an undervalued property is to track the market in your chosen area and keep an eye out for properties that have good access to amenities, are well positioned in the block (if buying an apartment), have a functional floorplan, are part of a well-maintained building and possibly have one or two features that are turning other buyers away. It could be dated presentation, lack of a balcony or outdoor space or communal laundry facilities to name a few. These features or lack thereof are not deal breakers in terms of investment potential but may be enough to either keep the competition to a minimum or to keep their purchase limits lower making it easier to buy the property at a reasonable price.\nWe are seeing more properties pass in at auction either on a vendor bid or to a genuine bidder. Last weekend, we purchased two properties in blue chip Melbourne suburbs for clients after a pass in negotiation with minimal interest from other buyers. Pass ins shouldn’t be feared, they can be a great opportunity if you are the person it passes into. Remember that you always want to hold the bid when the property passes in to have the exclusive right to negotiate at the vendors reserve. We would not recommend this as a strategy, rather an opportunistic way to purchase a property when the vendors position is weaker. An auction pass in if negotiated correctly can be a win/win situation.\nAnother way to take advantage of a softer market is to make offers prior to auction. Drawing the process to a head earlier than the scheduled date can reduce the number of buyers who have a chance to inspect the property and put them under pressure due to the time constraints for legal work, building inspections, finance approval etc. If the campaign is going well, agents will generally not recommend entertaining early offers, however it can be a good way to ascertain the vendors expectations if an early offer is rejected as the quote range must be adjusted to reflect the rejection of a written offer.\nTo sum up, do not compromise on the investment fundamentals of the property selection and think rationally about the compromises you are willing to make. Track the market and be willing to act quickly for a property that meets your criteria to cut the competition off at the knees.\nIf you would like to discuss your next property purchase, please contact The Property Bureau on +61 3 9018 7877. |

Mr. Otto let out a long, deep, breathy and distinctly audible sigh. The kind that as much signifies exasperation as resignation. Maybe more of the latter than the former.\nAn old man – as was nearly everyone to a 15-year-old – kind of round, short and with a complete head of polar white hair, he was the high school class advisor. And “advisor” was code for disciplinarian.\nVery little, if any, advice flowed from him to the students in his charge.\nMr. Otto handed out detentions and related rehabilitation measures for such teenage infractions as tardiness and running in the hallway, and for such felonies as forging hall passes or parental excuses (fake excuses for pupil absences, not parental missteps). Gum-chewing probably fell between those two extremes.\nLate to school with near-perfect regularity, Mr. Otto had me on his list of reprobates most likely to not succeed. Which made no impression on me. None.\nHe, like virtually all the older people, did not have a first name. Unless it was “Mister,” which, as it turns out, was pretty common back then. Among high school students, we were thankful for last names, if only as a means to reduce confusion. About which there was plenty. The other half of the population was “Missus.” Whether they were married or not.\nUntil now. Now everyone is known by their first name. No matter one’s social station, educational attainment, technological prowess . . . everyone is “Bob.” Or Sally. Or something incredibly exotic that no one understands and few are able to pronounce.\nBut not Mr. Otto. He was pretty strict. Until you wore him down.\nOnce worn smooth, one still had no access to his first name; this was the mid-60s, after all. Cold War, Vietnam, hippies . . .\nBut once worn, Mr. Otto would rock back in his office chair, fling his hands in the air and give you a pass to the public library across the street. Or at least he did me.\nWhich led only to pitching pennies against a wall and delinquent behavior. Incorrigible. |

My little, teeny, tiny brother is getting married. This October. You know, the same kid that I paid a dollar to diligently clean my room or car. The one that wrote me adorable poems as I went off to college. And the only boy I truly felt comfortable sharing my life’s secrets with over hotdogs and Cheetos.\nand he’s definitely not falling for that dollar trick anymore…that’s for sure.\nThe fabulous thing? He’s marrying an AMAZING girl. A southern bell. A gal I can’t wait to call my sister.\nNeedless to say, they need a family soiree thrown by me and the mister. Ok, well, me…but his name can go on the invite because it is, after all, a “his and her” event.\nSo let the planning begin!\nThink black and white theme with touches of lime green. Fresh flowers for the May date. A room filled with glowing faces near tables of appetizers filled with all the things they love. Décor that shows off their amazing taste and sentiment. And of course a playlist you can shake your rump to. With a few surprises along the way.\nIt’s going to be a darn good event, and one we’re crossing our fingers we hope they enjoy. Low-key, family-filled and complete with joy. |

The Yocan Pandon is one of the newest vape pens in the market. It comes with two high-quality heating chambers with dual quartz rods in each chamber. Not only does this vape pen have the best quartz coils around, but the voltage is adjustable and the battery capacity is 1300mah. This vape pen is very small and portable too.\nHow to use the Yocan Pandon?\nWhen your vape pen is turned on, you can adjust the voltage by pressing the power button two times quickly.\nAfter you've set the voltage, make sure to test the vape penso you know the coils are screwed in properly and work.\nThen fill either one or two of your heating chambers with shatter, crumble or other wax concentrates.\nAfter filling your vape coils with wax, all you need to do is press and hold down the power button and begin vaping.\nIf you're charging your Yocan Pandon vape pen, the LED light will stay green while it's charging and the light will turn off after the vape pen is fully charged.\nHow to clean the Yocan Pandon vape pen?\nIt's not very easy to clean your Yocan Pandon vape pen. After you've vaped all of the shatter and crumble, you need to unscrew the coil caps and keep turning the vape pen on for 10 seconds. That way the coil can burn off as much residue as possible. Some people also use a Q-Tip, BUT BE CAREFUL!!! The last thing you want is to get cotton STUCK IN THE VAPE COILS.\nWhich vape parts are expected to be replaced the most?\nThe only vape parts that need to be replaced for the Yocan Pandon vape pen is the vape coils. These wax coils are compatible with the Yocan Evolve too. Customers generally purchase 5x Evolve Coils if they want to have extra coils. For the daily user, coils can last for several months if you take care of your vape pen. The key is to make sure that you aren't allowing residue to build up over time.\nWhat is the ideal voltage setting on the Yocan Pandon?\nThat is a very difficult question. Some people like to burn their shatter or crumble at the highest possible temperature. Then there are others that want to set the voltage at the lowest level so that the vapor is less harsh on your throat. We always say it depends on the person. If you have time to leave a review, let us know what your preferred voltage setting is so that new customers can see what others are saying and not just listening to Vape Vet Store.\nWhy buy the yocan pandon?\nThis adjustable temperature wax pen has it all.

Psychiatrist Dr. John Kupfner stresses playing video games in moderation and setting guidelines for children so that they come after responsibilities.\nVideo games, for some players, can spark an addiction that psychiatrist Dr. John Kupfner parallels to the strength of a drug, particularly when they're are taken away from a hooked user.\n"It's like a drug addict who needs another hit," said Kupfner, a psychiatrist with Peninsula Behavioral Health.\nThe World Health Organization terms it "gaming disorder," in which players have a hard time gaining control over gaming, invest their time in games over other interests and continue playing even though negative consequences can follow.\nA gamer's addiction can incite rage when a video game is taken away, Kupfner said, pointing to withdrawal effects as a user needs to have the internal opiate released from playing and will do whatever necessary to play.\nRage certainly doesn't affect all gamers, he said, but it can also be stirred up in players when they aren't succeeding in the outcomes they're chasing after.\nSome people find it difficult to separate reality from fiction, Kupfner said, adding that video games are often played online with multiple people so that users become part of a "fictional community."\nIf an individual feels they've let other players down or are mocked or harassed, those emotions can turn into anger.\n"People that play lots and lots of hours of these things, their online avatar becomes part of their identity," Kupfner said, so their obstacles in the game upset them just as much as failures and disappointments in real life.\nHow can you get ahead of your rage?\nBalance is a principle that Kupfner stresses when it comes to controlling emotions induced by video games.\n"Everything has to be in moderation," he said, explaining people should structure time for video games and also make time for other human interaction.\nClear signs of addiction taking over, he said, include people prioritizing video games above other things in life, causing them to show up late to work and start disappearing more and more.\nParents can also take measures to intervene if video games are triggering aggressive behaviors in their child, Kupfner said.\nIf kids have problems controlling themselves while playing video games, the psychiatrist recommends getting rid of the video games altogether.\nThere's no reason to integrate the games into their development, he said.\nParents also need to assert complete control over the family's gaming system, reinforcing that it belongs to them, not the child.\nThey can outline for their children the circumstances in which they can take the controls and can use video games as a way to reward their children for seeing through their responsibilities, Kupfner said.\nThe game should never be up for grabs before children have completed their homework or chores from the outset, he said.\n"From the beginning, the parents need to be clear that the children don't own the games or the devices," Kupfner said. |

The first Fallout 76 beta session went up yesterday for a short four-hour stress test, but some last-minute woes left a lot of players unable to play it. To make up for these issues, Bethesda have announced that they’ll be holding a longer Fallout 76 beta tomorrow, Thursday November 1.\nThe second beta session will now run four hours longer than previously announced, so Fallout 76 will now be online to play for nine hours altogether. It will be available tomorrow from 11:00 PT / 14:00 ET / 18:00 GMT to 20:00 PT / 23:00 ET / 03:00 GMT (Friday morning, November 2).\nLast night’s first Fallout 76 beta stress test did not run at all smoothly for PC players. Despite the Bethesda.net Launcher allowing for a preload earlier on in the week – which many users took advantage of – just hours before the beta session went live, the launcher was hit by a bug that deleted the entire 48Gb preload. Bethesda tried to warn people, but any unaware players who clicked any part of the launcher were forced to re-download the entire Fallout 76 beta again. Whoops.\nFor many players, including ourselves, that meant missing out on a huge chunk of the first Fallout 76 beta session – which was already rather unreasonable for UK players in the first place, since it ran from 11pm to 3am GMT. Bethesda’s only solution for users was, “if you see a progress bar, please allow the download to complete,” which wasn’t massively helpful.\nStill, the publisher are aware that they screwed up, and are offering the extended beta session tomorrow in order to “make good” with players.\nThere are a further two beta sessions planned for this weekend, November 3 and November 4, which will all start a little earlier than Monday’s session. Fallout 76 itself will launch on November 14. Hopefully any problems with the Bethesda.net Launcher will be sorted out by then, and it won’t randomly delete the game again. |

WASHINGTON, March 20 — Federal law enforcement officials today raided 15 organizations and individuals in Northern Virginia and a chicken farm in Georgia, all of them, the authorities said, suspected by the Treasury Department of laundering money for Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.\nPeople close to the Treasury investigation said, however, that among the main targets was a commercial building at 555 Grove Street in Herndon, Va., where the SAAR Foundation, a Saudi-financed charity that is now defunct, had an office until recently. No representative of the foundation could be located for comment. The Grove Street building, about 20 miles from Washington, also houses offices of several other Islamic charities and individual Muslims who, officials said, are being investigated for the possibility of money-laundering activities.\nLast October, the Treasury Department listed another Islamic charity financed by the Muslim World League, the Rabita Trust, as having connections to Al Qaeda. Search warrants were also served today, officials said, on the International Institute for Islamic Thought, which is at 500 Grove Street, across the street from the SAAR Foundation. Officials said the government had been investigating the institute for at least three years.\nAn employee there, Tarik Hamdi, whose home was also raided today, was mentioned in the New York trial resulting from the bombing of the United States Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. A battery for a satellite phone was carried to Afghanistan by Mr. Hamdi that year; this phone, a prosecutor at the trial said, "is the phone that bin Laden and others will use to carry out their war against the United States."\nOfficials said SAAR had been financed in large part by Suleiman Abdel Aziz al-Rajhi, a Saudi banker and financier who is said to be close to the Saudi ruling family. Mr. Rajhi, among other things, is said to have an indirect financial interest in Piedmont Poultry, in Gainesville, Ga., which federal agents also raided today. The Treasury Department said the raids had involved more than 150 agents and officers of the Customs Service, the Internal Revenue Service and several other Treasury agencies. Local police departments in Virginia assisted. The Treasury Department statement said the offices and residences that were targets of the raids had been searched, and material from them seized, without incident. It said federal investigators had begun processing the resulting evidence. The statement also noted that no one was arrested during the raids and that affidavits filed in support of the seizures were under court seal.\nSteven Emerson, a terrorism expert, focused on 555 Grove Street in his new book, "American Jihad: Terrorists Among Us." In the book, Mr. Emerson listed several charities at that address, including the SAAR Foundation and Safa Trust, which was also raided today, as organizations that had financed groups and individuals connected to terrorism. In an interview, Mr. Emerson said he believed that the raids were aimed at helping the government collect information about how money that finances terrorism is laundered through Islamic charities in the United States. Such cases are very difficult to prove and prosecute, he said.\nThese include the Palestinian military group Hamas, which claims responsibility for the scores of suicide bombings in Israel, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is also suspected of having raised money for its activities through humanitarian groups operating in the United States. In 1996, Congress passed a law making it a crime to raise money for terrorist groups, even if the money is not directly used to support terrorism. |

LSATMax Prep Review: Is LSATMax the Course for You?\nLSATMax Prep is a solid course that can help you improve your scores. To help you determine if LSATMax is right for you, I’ll discuss its history, pros and cons, course packages, rating, and ideal candidates.\nLSATMax is the LSAT branch of TestMax, a test prep company founded by Mehran Ebadolahi.\nMehran is the head instructor for LSATMax and a Harvard Graduate. He started his law school journey with a 148 diagnostic score on the LSAT (below average), but self-studied to a 174 (99th percentile).\nI always look at the quality of instructor first when evaluating an LSAT prep company, and Mehran checks this box with flying colors. Not only does he understand the LSAT and how to approach the exam itself, but he also understands the process of acquiring that understanding through dedicated study.\nMany LSAT prep instructors started off with 160s or 170s diagnostic scores, and while that may prove an understanding of the LSAT, it does not prove an understanding of studying for the LSAT. Mehran progressing from a below average score to a score in the 99th percentile demonstrates a deep understanding of how to prepare for this exam.\nAlongside Mehran is a team of LSAT instructors, all of whom attended top-5 law schools and scored between 173 and 180 on the LSAT.\nAfter examining an LSAT course’s instructors, I then examine the course materials. LSATMax does use real LSAT questions for studying, so it checks that box as well. This is incredibly important, as LSAT questions are worded in a particular way and cannot be perfectly imitated.\nHowever, there seems to be a lack of consensus on whether or not LSAT Max’s methods are effective for all students. Particularly, there are concerns about the tactics Mehran advocates for use on the Reading Comprehension and Logic Games sections.\nThe Reading Comprehension and Logic Games tactics may be ineffective for some students.\nWhile preparing for the LSAT, I was unaware that LSATMax existed. So, to understand how this course operated and to properly evaluate the quality of the study materials, I enrolled in the course myself.\nThe online application itself is simple and easy to navigate, which is helpful for avoiding unnecessary frustration during studying. It includes a very helpful message board feature that allows students to contact an LSATMax instructor directly, and videos can be sped up or slowed down if you want to move at your own pace.\nOne initial concern of mine was immediately quelled. While LSATMax is an online and mobile-based application, they do ship you hard copies of the materials. That is important as the LSAT is still currently administered with paper and pencil. Also, though it is online, you can also download content so that you can work offline.\nSomething else that jumped out to me about the application is the LSATMax analytics section. This part of the application analyzes areas of weakness during your studies and helps you isolate questions of that type. This is an especially helpful feature for students further along in their studies, and for students trying to break into higher score ranges.\nThe course first covers Logical Reasoning (this is, itself, a positive characteristic in my opinion, as I believe LR should be the first section covered). The curriculum advances the proven method of first developing an understanding of formal logic, applying that method to evaluate arguments, then using those evaluations to address different LR question types.\nLSATMax does not, in their LR lessons, teach hacks, cheats, or cute tactics to “beat the LSAT.” It teaches you to understand what the LSAT is testing you on, and shows you how to effectively approach the questions.\nAlongside the lessons, LSATMax provides drills for identifying questions stems. Perfecting this skill saves students several minutes on the actual LSAT. Overall, I believe LSATMax has an effective curriculum for logical reasoning.\nThe second section of the course addresses Logic Games. Again, I believe this is a natural progression starting with LR then moving to LG. The course uses the basis of formal logic developed in the LR lessons to study each game type individually.\nTo help students practice these games, LSATMax says to practice any game that you don’t finish quickly and correctly. This is a similar tactic to 7sage’s “Full Proof Method,” and is one that is proven to help students achieve perfect scores in the game section.\nThe diagramming methods used by LSATMax are basically identical to the diagrams I personally used on the LSAT to score in the 98th percentile. They work, and almost all top LSAT instructors teach the same diagramming methods.\nSo, as with logical reasoning, I am satisfied with LSATMax’s lessons on the Logic Games section.\nThe last section addressed by LSATMax is Reading Comprehension.\nFor this section, LSATMax emphasizes an “absorptive” reading style that will hypothetically help students retain the information necessary to answer the questions. While this does work for some students, it does not work for others. To me, this is the biggest downside of the course, and I wish they would have alternative methods in the course.\nBut, LSATMax does cover principles that are imperative for scoring high in Reading Comp: structure, main point, and tone. So, while the reading technique may not be best for you, the accompanying information the course gives you will help you in this section, no matter what.\nOverall, LSATMax’s approach to the Reading Comprehension is satisfactory, but not the best.\nHaving used this course, I give it a rating of 3.75 out of 5 stars.\nLSATMax is a smaller test-prep company and the effectiveness of its courses is less proven than other companies. However, it is one of the most popular LSAT apps in the App Store, so that does say something about the quality of the course.\nLSATMax’s curriculum can be sufficient to give students a fundamental understanding of the LSAT. This can take scores from the 140s to 150s, and from 150s to 160s.\nHowever, in the higher scoring ranges, I have hesitations about LSATMax’s methods. But, as we all know, the best way to prepare for the LSAT is to practice and review real LSAT sections, and LSATMax can help there.\nThe LSATMax app has helpful score analysis tools that can help students pinpoint problems in their preparation, and target them in their studies. These tools are therefore helpful for students who are already scoring in the 160s and even 170s.\nI would recommend LSATMax as a good choice for students looking at online LSAT courses. It is easy to follow, teaches proven methods, and the instructors have a passion to help students succeed. |

The scientist’s toolkit counts at least three practices: real, thought and numerical experiments. Although a deep investigation of the relationships between these types of experiments should shed light on the nature of scientific enquiry, I argue that it has been compromised by at least four factors: (i) a bias for the epistemological superiority of real experiments; (ii) an almost exclusive focus on the links between either thought or numerical experiments, and real experiments; (iii) a tendency to try and reduce one kind to another; and (iv) an excessive attention to the outputs of these types of experiments, more than to their processes. In this paper I support an unbiased triangular comparative analysis that focuses on the processes involved in real, thought and numerical experiments, and claim that all three types of experimentation are fundamental to scientific research. I do so by clarifying different notions of experimental processes, and by introducing a distinction between two varieties of mental simulation that play a role in them (i.e., mental models and imaginings). I then compare real, thought and numerical experiments in light of this distinction, showing their similarities, but also fundamental differences, which suggest that none of them is dispensable.\nThe aim of this paper is to point to the analogy between mathematical and physical thought experiments, and even more widely between the epistemic paths in both domains. Having accepted platonism as the underlying ontology as long as the platonistic path in asserting the possibility of gaining knowledge of abstract, mind-independent and causally inert objects, my widely taken goal is to show that there is no need to insist on the uniformity of picture and monopoly of certain epistemic paths in the epistemic descriptive context. And secondly, to show the analogy with the ways we come to know the truths of (natural) sciences.\nThe ongoing epistemological debate on scientific thought experiments (TEs) revolves, in part, around the now famous Galileo’s falling bodies TE and how it could justify its conclusions. In this paper, I argue that the TE’s function is misrepresented in this a-historical debate. I retrace the history of this TE and show that it constituted the first step in two general “argumentative strategies”, excogitated by Galileo to defend two different theories of free-fall, in 1590’s and then in the 1638. I analyse both argumentative strategies and argue that their function was to eliminate potential causal factors: the TE serving to eliminate absolute weight as a causal factor, while the subsequent arguments served to explore the effect of specific weight, with conflicting conclusions in 1590 and 1638. I will argue thorough the paper that the TE is best grasped when we analyse Galileo’s restriction, in the TE’s scenario and conclusion, to bodies of the same material or specific weight. Finally, I will draw out two implications for the debate on TEs.\nFrançois Kammerer Is the Antipathetic Fallacy Responsible for the Intuition that Consciousness is Distinct from the Physical?\nNumerous philosophers have recently tried to defend physicalism regarding phenomenal consciousness against dualist intuitions, by explaining the existence of dualist intuitions within a purely physicalist framework. David Papineau, for example, suggested that certain peculiar features of some of our concepts of phenomenal experiences (the so-called “phenomenal concepts”) led us to commit what he called the “Antipathetic Fallacy”: they gave us the erroneous impression that phenomenal experiences must be distinct from purely physical states (the “intuition of distinctness”), even though they are not. Papineau’s hypothesis has been accepted, though under other names and in different forms, by many physicalist philosophers. Pär Sundström has tried to argue against Papineau’s account of the intuition of distinctness by showing that it was subjected to counterexamples. However, Papineau managed to show that Sundström’s counterexamples were not compelling, and that they could be answered within his framework. In this paper, I want to draw inspiration from Sundström, and to put forth some refined counterexamples to Papineau’s account, which cannot be answered in the same way as Sundström’s. My conclusion is that we cannot explain the intuition of distinctness as the result of a kind of “Antipathetic Fallacy”.\nMcGinn claims, among other things, that we cannot understand the theory that explains how echolocationary experiences arise from the bat’s brain. One of McGinn’s arguments for this claim appeals to the fact that we cannot know in principle what it is like to have echolocationary experiences. According to Kirk, McGinn’s argument fails because it rests on an illegitimate assumption concerning what explanatory theories are supposed to accomplish. However, I will argue that Kirk’s objection misfires because he misapprehends McGinn’s argument. Further, I will articulate and briefly assess some ways in which McGinn’s argument can be blocked.\nEver since the term ‘thought experiment’ was coined by Ørsted, philosophers have struggled with the question of how thought experiments manage to provide knowledge. Ernst Mach’s seminal contribution has eclipsed other approaches in the Austrian tradition. I discuss one of these neglected approaches. Faced with the challenge of how to reconcile his empiricist position with his use of thought experiments, Moritz Schlick proposed the following ‘Sinnkriterium’: a thought experiment is meaningful if it allows to answer a question under discussion by imagining the experiences that would confi rm that the thought experimental scenario is actual. I trace this view throughout three exemplary thought experiments of Schlick’s.\nH. L. A. Hart’s The Concept of Law is an important and infl uential work in the modern philosophy and theory of law. In it, Hart introduced and discussed three imaginary scenarios: the absolute monarchy under the Rex dynasty; the pre-legal society governed by primary rules of obligation; and the worlds in which rules would be different from those in our actual world. Although Hart did not use the expression “thought experiments” in his work, some of his interpreters refer to the imaginary scenarios as thought experiments. However, interpreters do not go into the question of whether the imaginary scenarios in Hart’s work do indeed satisfy a general characterization of thought experiments. In this article, the author fi rst summarizes the three imaginary scenarios in Hart’s work and points to the context within which we encounter each of them. Then, he makes use of a general characterization of thought experiments in the contemporary philosophical literature and briefl y examines the way and the extent to which the imaginary scenarios in Hart’s work can satisfy its requirements.\nIn this paper, I introduce and elucidate what seems to me the best understanding of moral intuition with reference to the intellectual seeming account. First, I will explain Bengson’s (and Bealer’s) quasi-perceptualist account of philosophical intuition in terms of intellectual seeming. I then shift from philosophical intuition to moral intuition and will delineate Audi’s doxastic account of moral intuition to argue that the intellectual seeming account of intuition is superior to the doxastic account of intuition. Next, I argue that we can apply our understanding of the intellectual seeming account of philosophical intuition to the moral intuition. To the extent that we can argue for the intellectual seeming account of philosophical intuition, we can have the intellectual seeming account of moral intuition.\nPhilosophical thought-experimentation has a long and influential history. In recent years, however, both the traditionally secure place of the method of thought experimentation in philosophy and its presumed epistemic credentials have been increasingly and repeatedly questioned. In the paper, I join the choir of the discontents. I present and discuss two types of evidence that in my opinion undermine our close-to-blind trust in moral thought experiments and the intuitions that these elicit: the disappointing record of thought-experimentation in contemporary moral philosophy, and the more general considerations explaining why this failure is not accidental. The diagnosis is not optimistic. The past record of moral TEs is far from impressive. Most, if not all, moral TEs fail to corroborate their target moral hypotheses (provided one can determine what results they produced and what moral proposition these results were supposed to verify or falsify). Moral intuitions appear to be produced by moral heuristics which we have every reason to suspect will systematically misfi re in typical moral TEs. Rather than keep relying on moral TEs, we should therefore begin to explore other, more sound alternatives to thought-experimentation in moral philosophy. |

In your right hand, traditionally used even by the left-handed, rest the thick end of one chopstick on the webbing between your thumb and forefinger so that about an inch of it sticks out beyond your hand, and rest the other end on your ring finger. Keep your fingers loosely curled.\nSuccessful chopstick use depends on stabilizing this bottom chopstick, which doesn’t move, to leave your thumb and forefinger free to maneuver the top chopstick, which does.\nGrip this bottom chopstick with the bottom of your thumb so it is immobilized and sits firmly on your ring finger.\nYou can use the tip of your middle finger to stabilize the ring-finger end of the chopstick.\nIf you’re holding the bottom chopstick correctly, your entire index finger and the top joint of your thumb are free to move around. Grip the top chopstick between the tips of these fingers so that its tip lines up with the bottom chopstick’s tip.\nTo pick up a piece of food, maneuver the top chopstick to grasp it with the tip and brace it against the bottom one.\nEtiquette requires that you use chopsticks neither to chop nor to stick. For that, use knives and forks.\nNow, carefully lift a piece of food with your chopsticks, taking care not to let it slide out. Sweet success.\nMany sushi aficionados insist that sushi should be eaten with the fingers—an excellent fallback position if you have trouble mastering chopsticks. |

All bachelor programs consist of a total of 180 ECTS credits, corresponding to three years of studies, i.e., one full academic year consists of 60 ECTS credits. All BA program includes a 20 ECTS credits preparatory course, named Examen Philosophicum and Examen Facultatum, requires a minimum of 60 ECTS credits in the given subject area on level 100, and a minimum of 20 ECTS credits on a deeper 200 level in the same subject area.\nIn addition to the required 100 ECTS credits mentioned above, the remaining 80 ECTS credits are electives and may partly be taken in the same subject area or among the different courses offered in another subject area at ATH or other accredited colleges or universities, domestic or abroad. The accreditations of the programs at ATH, as well as the structure, grading and regulations of the programs, are designed in accordance with the Bologna agreement between European countries both inside and outside the European Community.\nThe BA in Theology with Christianity, Religions and Worldviews meets the teaching requirements for Christianity, Religion and World Views in public schools from Primary school to Lower and Upper Secondary School. The same applies for the BA in Music. The BA in Practical Theology is in particular designed for the ministry of a pastor in local churches.\nThe BA in Theology with Christianity, Religions and Worldviews includes additional electives on both 100 and 200 level, as well as Practical Theology (60 ECTS credits). Also Greek and the New Testament (30 ECTS credits) and Hebrew and the Old Testament (30 ECTS credits) are electives on the BA level.\nThe BA in Music and the BA in Intercultural understanding consist of the required 100 study ECTS credits in respective programs and of several additional elective courses on the respective 100 and 200 levels, as well as electives which may be taken from other subject areas at ATH or from other University Colleges or Universities.\nA completed BA program at ATH gives admission to further studies on the Master level in respective subject areas of Christianity and Theology, Music, Intercultural understanding and Psychology at University Colleges or Universities in Norway or abroad. ATH has a special agreement with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts for further MA studies in different subject areas. Also agreements with other institutions internationally are in the process of being developed.\nThe MA program in Christianity is offered either with emphasis on Biblical Studies or Practical Theology. Biblical Studies has two focal points: Greek and the New Testament or Hebrew and the Old Testament. MA students are required to write a major project encompassing either 30 ECTS credits (half a year) or 60 ECTS credits (one full academic year).\nATH has around 200 students on campus. Students at ATH are normally offered one tour annually for excursions and studies abroad. Students at the BA in Intercultural understanding must take part in a four week visit program to a ”southern country”.\nThe Ansgar School is owned and run by The Mission Covenant Church of Norway (MCCN), Det Norske Misjonsforbund, member of The International Federation of Free Evangelical Churches (IFFEC). MCCN is a non-state church with about 9.000 adult members. Like most other Norwegian non-state churches, MCCN is small in number. However, not least because of the Ansgar School, MCCN is of central importance to national and international church life. In terms of theology, Ansgar School is evangelical and conservative, subscribing to the Lausanne Covenant. In terms of ecumenicity, both the faculty and student body are open and belong to different evangelical churches and denominations.\nAnsgarskolen is the largest non-Lutheran school of this particular type in Norway.\nThe name Ansgar comes from the German bishop Ansgar in the 9th century, The Apostle of the Nordic Countries.\nThe school is located on a lovely campus of about 15 acres on a sunny hill side above the Torridal fjord, located 10 km (6 miles) at the outskirts of the city of Kristiansand (90.000). Kristiansand is the most important city and educational center in the southern part of Norway. The school is located not far from Kjevik Airport, with frequent connections to Copenhagen, Denmark, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the main domestic destinations. Kristiansand has a ferry terminal with several daily connections to Denmark (3 hours and 15 minutes).\nThree dormitories are on campus, including all together 140 rooms with shower and toilet, for single students as well as for families. The campus also includes a chapel, swimming pool and modern classrooms. The school has modern facilities, being built in 1987-88. Plans are made for further extension of class rooms and educational facilities.\nLectures are normally held only in Norwegian. The teachers may help students with other mother tongues to find literature in English and occasionally also other languages. |

In a move that many jiu-jitsu competitors have been awaiting for years, the IBJJF will now offer significant cash prizes to winners of the adult black belt categories at Worlds.\nIn recent years, the IBJJF has been criticized for its lack of cash awards as athletes have turned to professional grappling promotions to make money for their performances on the mats. Other promotions have sparked controversy by offering money to competitors, but giving significantly less to female grapplers. This new development in the IBJJF is being lauded by many athletes as a big step in the right direction for the organization and the sport as a whole. |
USB power has become so ubiquitous that it's being used for all kinds of things, including audio. I've done it myself.\nBut typical USB adapters are horrible. Tiny switchers that have maybe $0.50 in material cost. No ground, and an EMI filter on the input that couples noise from the AC line to the DC output. Nasty!\nSo I designed a simple linear power supply to replace them. Normally it is configured for 5V, 1A output. But you can also set it up for 6V, 12V, or 24V at 5 watts (maybe a bit more) by changing components.\nJust the basics: IEC connector, varistor, fuse, transformer, bridge rectifier, filter caps, and a linear regulator (LM2941). It slides into a Hammond 1455K1601 case.\nHere is the schematic (PDF file), and parts list / BOM (PDF file, XLS file). You can get all the parts except the PCB from Mouser. As usual you can find the PCB at my eBay store.\nThere is a toggle switch that allows you to either connect the ground from the IEC connector to the negative side of the output, or float it. When floated there is a 12V AC TVS connected between them for safety reasons. With the TVS, if there were a fault (extremely unlikely with isolated bobbin transformers like this) that put AC line on the output, the TVS would conduct and the fuse would blow.\nYou can fabricate the front and rear panels supplied with the case yourself, or if you are lazy like me, you can get them from Front Panel Express. Yes, they are a bit expensive, but they look and fit better than anything I could do. Here is a ZIP file that has both FPD files, as well as a DXF file that you can use if you want to make your own. (You can download free DXF viewers online).\nNote that there is a screw that connects the case to the IEC ground. If you want you could connect a ground wire to that point if you needed it for some reason. |
Hello all - I know there's several people on the board that deal with this conversion regularly, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm quoting a job through an agency for some 3D animation work using AutoCAD drawing files - how much clean up is typically involved in the conversion process? I can't afford PolyTrans, unfortunately, so it'd have to be a pretty much straight conversion. The products are Modular Sign Systems, Displays and Graphics, and Show Booth Presentation systems, so it's probably not super complicated. Anybody have rough estimates on time involved? Having never had to go from AutoCAD to LW, I just don't know how long this kind of thing takes on average. Even a gross estimate would be thoroughly appreciated.\nAre your AutoCAD files 2D or 3D? And is scaling an issue?\nIn all honesty I don't know yet - I'm hoping they're 3D (I think), but I'm waiting to hear back from the agency in between. Thanks for the heads-up on Rhino - never used it before, but always heard good things. I'll check it out.\nI use Rhino to bridge the gap between LW and AutoCAD. And other programes.\nWell, sounds like Rhino is worth some checking into! Thanks for the advice, folks.\nSo, by using Rhino to convert to .lwo, how's the clean-up (in either LW or Rhino)? Is there a lot of it, or not so much on average? I'm trying to work up a quote and obviously the clean-up time is going to affect it pretty heavily.\nExcellent - thanks mokba. I appreciate the words and advice.\nI use Accutrans 3d by micromouse productions http://www.micromouse.ca/ to convert from Autocad to Lightwave. I have used it for converting from Autocad to Imagine and Lighwave for 11 years now. If you don't have solids export the file as an version 12 DXF file and if you are using solids you can 3DSOUT the file (just remember that the tesselation of the 3ds output file is dependent on how close you zoom into the object files in autocad before outputting the file i.e. window around the objects to be outputted and then zoom in close to one of the solids to get more facets on the output object. ) Why Autocad didn't make a variable for tesselation I will never know.\nAccutrans has also got face flipping features built into it now that blow Lightwaves away. You can display your objects so the faces pointing towards you are white and the away faces show up red. Sooooo much easier to see than in Lightwave. You can also center on an object by clicking down on you mouse wheel then you can zoom in to your hearts content and rotate around the object face you picked (a great feature).\nI would be lost without Accutrans 3D. Since it only costs $20 US it is a great bargain. At my request another feature just got added last week (I may be the only one with that beta version right now) The new feature will allow you to pick a bunch of Graphic files (i.e. Jpegs) and create a lightwave object that has the same proportions as the bitmap and it will map the image onto the Lightwave object so I will be able to convert all the 500 People images in a book I bought recently to objects and it will take me about 5 minutes to do it instead of countless hours. He even added a feature where you can globally set the height of the new object (I use 1.8 metres which is about 6 feet tall) then he added a seperate function so you can set the object height for each individual object as you step through them ( in case you have a mixture of adults and children or trees) I think he is also adding a feature to invert the masks if you want to as all the clip masks in the book are opposite to what Lightwave uses.\nThis is a feature rich program if anyone wants to spend the time to learn it. The interface may not be fancy but the results I receive have helped me stay in business all these years.\nAlso for Autocad users he also added region output support when saving version 12 dxf files as well as having dxf point per arch control so if you set you surftab1 value to 24 and then surftab from a line to an arc, the arc will be divided into the the same 24 segments in Accutrans if you set that value in the program. i.e. NO MORE GAPS where the two items meet. |

With no end in sight for the partial government shutdown, one Chicago institution is offering some consolation to federal workers who are feeling the pinch.\nThe Adler Planetarium announced Wednesday that it will offer free admission to federal employees for the duration of the shutdown.\nThe free general admission pass includes access to all exhibits every day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.\nIn Illinois, around 8,000 federal workers are not being paid during the partial shutdown, the second-longest in U.S. history. While paychecks schedules vary by agency, many federal workers will miss paychecks starting this week.\nPresident Donald Trump addressed the nation Tuesday night, calling on Democrats to end the shutdown by approving funding for his wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. Previous meetings did not prove fruitful.\nFurloughed workers who wish to visit the planetarium must show a government ID to receive two free general admission tickets. |
"We always reflect in detail on the world of fashion as a mirror onto modern life and as a point of departure for every collection. We put ourselves in the shoes of those who consciously use fashion, who live it, and who interpret it in a personal and contemporary way.\nThe current trend in fashion is heavily weighted towards the casual end. Clothes and shoes are covered in sporty motifs that make them easy to wear and mix and match with other items. In particular, feminine fashion is delving further and further into the world of sport, not just for aesthetic and health reasons but also as a battlefield where women can challenge themselves and assert their own personality.\nThese are trends that influence and guide our everyday lives, that are reflected in our work, and that prompted us to develop a sporty capsule that forms an integral part of the spring/summer collection.\nPersonally, We love matching gym clothes with bon ton and prêt à couture elements to create an overall atmosphere that's as minimal as it is whimsical.\nSo our aim is always the same: to play around with style!" |

Our group joined the larger group of students from China studying at Surrey this summer. We broke apart and boarded two buses, hoping to exchange a few words with our traveling companions. Colleen and Jill had extensive and wide-ranging intercultural conversations, while some others of us were turned away when we tried to take a vacant seat! On Bus 2, a Chinese student asked us to complete a cultural questionnaire on graduation rituals as part of her project to enhance the event at her college.\nThe teachers leading the trip provided maps of the town and walked everyone to the entrance of Christ Church College, our meeting point for later in the day. We dispersed in little groups to explore this famous college town.\nChrist Church College lies along the scenic River Cherwell. From the Broad Walk we could watch rowers and punters enjoying the river, and people relaxed along the banks. Lauren, Colleen, Lisa, Elizabeth and Adrienne strolled past the Christ Church Meadow and the Botanical Garden to Café Rendezvous, where we partook of some delicious continental refreshments, including crepes and lattes.\nAt 1:00, people who had signed up for the tour of Christ Church College returned to the gate to find a massive queue. Even though the tour would let us walk through the Great Hall used in filming Harry Potter, everyone decided to skip the queue and explore the town some more.\nSome of the highlights: browsing in an antique store, learning about the British monetary system from a local, finding unique gifts at a charity shop, touring the Bodleian Library, enjoying the magnificent architecture and Camera Square, hanging out by the river, checking out local art and bookshops, and lunching at the Eagle and Child, former haunt of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.\nThere were many nationalities in Oxford, and we were able to converse with people from China, Oman, Kurdistan, Scotland, Italy, Azerbijian, Spain, and other countries, and some Romany Gypsies.\nThe town was crowded and many of us sought respite from the hectic streets near our meeting spot as it neared 4:00. This offered more colorful scenes, like the group of tattooed Gypsies and their enormous dog, John Henry, spending the day in the park. Lisa, of course, was taken with the dog, and chatted with its owner about the dog, his name, and American folk hero John Henry. Some friends passing by called to the homeless group, and hilariously mooned everyone. Spencer was shocked at the cultural differences around shirtlessness and public behind-baring but it dramatically punctuated the end of the day.\nSomehow we all managed to get back on the bus and back to Surrey. In Building 66, everyone was tuckered out and ready for an early night. |

At Remy’s arraignment the day after he was arrested for assaulting and battering Ms. Martel (but before her murder,) a Middlesex County District Attorney prosecutor told the court that the Middlesex DA’s office was not seeking to hold Remy in custody. The judge released Remy, and the next day he allegedly murdered Ms. Martel by stabbing her to death the following day at their Waltham home. After the murder, the media descended on the new Middlesex District Attorney, Marian Ryan, who held a press conference and said that prosecutors in her office had had “conversations” with Martel and the Waltham Police Department prior to Remy’s arraignment, and that based on those conversations, they did not seek to hold Remy in custody under the Massachusetts dangerousness statute.\nAs the controversy surrounding the prosecutor’s actions grew, Middlesex DA Ryan held a press conference and rejected any idea of an independent investigation into what had occurred. Later, as a chorus of protests grew, Ryan relented, appointing two veteran prosecutors, First Assistant Norfolk District Attorney Jean Marie Carroll, and Kevin Burke, a former Essex County District Attorney, to review the process that led to the Middlesex DA’s office recommendation that Remy be released without bail at his Aug. 14 arraignment.\nAs a Boston domestic violence lawyer, whose previous career was in managing public affairs on highly contested issues, a lot of this sounds like damage control to me. Something went wrong here. But, in all candor, 100% of the blame may not rest with the Middlesex DA’s office. The statute that could have prevented Remy’s release here was written to require that “clear and convincing” evidence be presented before a judge will hold such a defendant behind bars. Reaching that standard almost always requires that victims be willing to work with prosecutors to have the defendant held. That means the victim showing up in court and testifying to a judge about why he or she feels the defendant will harm the him, her or others.\nIn this case, Ms. Martel did neither: She didn’t appear the morning after Remy was arrested to request an extension of the temporary restraining order that was granted the night before, nor did she ask prosecutors to have Remy held in custody. Ms. Martel’s mother, Patricia Martel, has said that her daughter did not seek to renew the emergency restraining order at the request of Remy’s family. Ms. Martel’s mother has said that Remy’s mother had begged Ms. Martel not to proceed forward with the prosecution, saying that to do so would ruin her son’s life. So far, Remy’s family has not commented on Patricia Martel’s claims.\nIf victims aren’t willing to work with prosecutors and testify in support of holding a defendant in jail for up to 90 days, then it’s extremely unlikely that such prosecution motions will be granted. The reason? Judges are very reluctant to put someone behind bars, when the alleged victim won’t even show up to testify in support of it, and the evidentiary standard of “clear and convincing evidence” is a high threshold to satisfy. Without the victim’s cooperation, prosecutors often feel powerless in these situations, afraid of making a volatile situation even worse. As a result, they usually give broad deference to what a victim wants to do, relying on criminal justice studies that indicate that such victims can best measure their own safety.\nBut there are often good reasons why victims don’t ask that domestic violence defendants be held, or cooperate with prosecutors : They’re scared blue. They fear for their lives or safety, or the safety of those they love. Many are caught in a no-win situation: Don’t testify to have the defendant held in custody, or testify. If the victim does testify and they judge rules not to hold the defendant, they will very likely end up in even more danger. If they don’t cooperate with prosecutors and testify, the defendant will also be released. Even if they testify and the judge agrees to hold the defendant, the maximum the defendant can be held is 90 days. After that, the victim is going to be exposed to even more danger.\nI’m a Westwood Massachusetts domestic violence defense lawyer. It’s my job to advocate for defendants. But that doesn’t stop me from seeing that clearly, the dangerousness statute needs amendment – or systemic reforms need to be put in place – to prevent another tragedy like Jennifer Martel’s murder from occurring again. If the Massachusetts Legislature puts its collective heads together (not that the sum total would necessarily equal much,) surely a better system can be constructed to protect Massachusetts domestic violence victims, and protect the legal rights of Massachusetts domestic violence defendants.\nLet’s do the right thing here, in everyone’s best interests. Hotheads need not apply. |
According to the Office for National Statistics composite price index, prices in 2003 are 13,653.85% higher than average prices throughout 1752. The pound experienced an average inflation rate of 1.98% per year during this period, meaning the real value of a dollar decreased.\nIn other words, £100 in 1752 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £13,753.85 in 2003, a difference of £13,653.85 over 251 years.\nThe 1752 inflation rate was 4.00%. The inflation rate in 2003 was 2.89%. The 2003 inflation rate is higher compared to the average inflation rate of 2.85% per year between 2003 and 2019.\n£100 in 1752 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as £13,753.85 in 2003.\nYou may use the following MLA citation for this page: “1752 pounds in 2003 | UK Inflation Calculator.” U.S. Official Inflation Data, Alioth Finance, 19 Apr. 2019, https://www.officialdata.org/1752-GBP-in-2003. |
The report raises the alarm on the risk of a rise in mortality of diseases not related to Ebola and also points out the wider impacts of the virus on the livelihoods of those affected. Educational systems, rising social stigma, unemployment, and decreased food security are some of the big issues that Ebola-affected countries must deal with, according to the report.\nDespite the alarm, Carlos Lopes calls for a careful and cautious approach to the response. The Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa notes that while the social and economic situation in the three most affected countries is dramatic, the crisis for Africa as a Continent is exaggerated.\nAccording to the report, West Africa has been the fastest growing region in Africa in recent years. Based on 2013's estimates, the three Ebola countries taken together only represent 2.42 percent of West Africa's GDP and 0.68 percent of Africa's GDP, so West Africa's overall growth should remain robust. |
What do the dogs eat?\nLots! A hardworking tour dog can consume up to 12 thousand calories a day. These calories are contained in a high powered kibble designed specifically for working sleddogs. It contains up to 32% protein and 32% fat. In addition the dogs receive about 2 pounds of raw meat a day… Chicken, beef, salmon, pork, and lamb. At the end of your tour you will have the opportunity to “feed the crocodiles” by tossing chunks of raw meat to the dogs , which they will snap out of the air with an accuracy that would put Chad Johnson to shame! We also add joint mobility and gut health formulas to their meals.\nJust like people, dog’s metabolisms vary. Silver and Iskra gain weight by just looking at food. Conversely, Lorax and Raptor eat like teenage boys and are still skinny. We tailor each dog’s caloric intake to meet their individual needs.\nIn general, the dogs, as marathon runners, must maintain a sleek, lean physique. And the guides are all working on being as sleek and lean as the dogs. If we suddenly go silent on the Divide Hill, it is because we are running behind the sled and slipping into a state of hypoxia.\nWhat do the dogs do in the summertime?\nThe off season is their summer vacation. By the time the spring rolls around most of them will have put in up to 3000 miles in harness so it’s time to play! We have a summer kennel in central BC which is surrounded by crown land, loaded with trails and lakes and not many people to disturb! A glorious dog paradise. We take them on daily free runs, in compatable groups, with the quad. They run like the wind, dodge trees thru the woods and jump in and out of lakes. And roll in cow poo! Dogs doing what dogs love to do. On hot days they we let them just putter. They follow us around and “help” with the chores.\nWhat makes a lead dog?\nLead dogs are born, not made. A lead dog could be compared to a CEO of a company. They love their job, take it very seriously and can handle a great deal of responsibility. A lead dog must be particularly tuned into the musher in order to work together and take directional commands. It can be a somewhat stressful situation having eight or 12 screaming athletes at your heels, and so the lead dog must be confident of his or her abilities up there. We see lead dog-potential in pups at a very young age. At the same time, we never discount the “sleeper” dog, who may be a late bloomer and decides, at a later stage in life, that he or she wants to take the helm. Contrary to popular belief, the lead dog is not always the alpha dog in the kennel. You know that socially awkward CEO?… Silver would be a great example of this. She defers to everyone but is a dynamo in lead. Growler, on the other hand, has always been a quietly confident guy, who the other dogs never think to challenge on any level. He’s calm, confident, gentle, but dominant.\nWhat are the little dog booties for?\nWe put booties on the dogs for a variety of reasons, but down south here, rarely for the cold. The main reason we boot is for web cracks. Because a dog’s feet is one of the main conduits to shed excess heat, the interface between their feet and the snow, is a warm damp environment which tends to create splits in their webs. We also also boot for abrasive conditions and snow balling. We do this preventatively. In conjunction with the boots we use our own special foot cream formula with tea tree oil, lanolin, almond oil, beeswax and some other secret ingredients.\nMore rarely, in theses southern climes, do we have to boot for the cold. Dogs have a unique foot physiology, with venuoles and arterioles spaced closely together for heat exchange, plus a large percentage of fatty tissue in their paws enables their feet to remain warm when ours would freeze. In addition, dogs only shed excess body heat thru their mouths and their paws and thus when they are working, their paws become little hot pads. They cannot shed heat by sweating, such as a horse does. Every dog is different and we recognize this. Some of our crew, both human and dog, get cold feet more easily. They get extra protection to keep them comfy.\nWhy are these dogs so skinny?\nSleddogs are the decathletes of the canine world. Any superstar athlete cannot carry any excess body fat as it can be injurious to their joints, and it also greatly impedes performance. For those of you who do run, you know when you are packing even an extra pound or two. In the end, we like to see a lean and athletic condition in all of our poochies. Well muscled with a few ribs showing, and a glossy coat.\nWhere do the dogs live?\nThe dogs go home each night to their kennel, which is 45 minutes drive from Lake Louise. At the kennel they all have their own house, which is a cozy den packed with straw. For the most part, we tether them individually for this enables us to monitor their individual health. Eating, pooping, drinking. The dogs are close enough to play with each other and interact, but after a long day of work they usually eat their dinner and go to bed after a rousing group howl. While we do not offer kennel tours specifically due to the long drive from Lake Louise, we welcome anyone who would like to visit the dogs at their home.\nHow old are they when they retire?\nJust like people, different dogs request to be retired at different ages. Some like to work well into their golden years, and on occasion, some want to retire in middle age. As long as they are still barking to go, and are not too stiff, we like to include them. As elders, they may only go out in harness once a week, but it fosters that pride that is so important to a working dog. When they let us know that they are not interested in jumping into their harness anymore, they are retired. These dogs are sometimes placed in adoption homes, or remain with us to grace the couches or snooze under a shady tree. Enki, at 14, is our kennel patriarch, and he just out ran Megan on 5 km trot.\nDogsled Tour Operator of the Year!\nCopyright © 2019 Kingmik. All Rights Reserved. |

This year’s Christmas Tree Festival is well and truly over. The money has been counted and banked, the pine needles swept up, well mostly and the trees removed, though there are still a few orphaned trees huddled together in a corner of the churchyard. Apart from a very useful amount of money raised for the church, all we have left are the memories, of the happy laughter and songs from the visiting children, the toe-tapping music of the Vikings skiffle group, the mellifluous harmonies of the Wayfarers, the bold sounds of the Lancashire Artillery Volunteer Band and the swing of the Swing Band from M.T.S and lastly, but by no means least, Mike Foy with his very gifted choir and we also had the delicious aromas of the dish of the day. There were of course some disappointments: my interview on Radio Merseyside was not the launchpad for a show biz career that I was hoping for. Brenda tells me not to give up because I have the perfect face for radio.\nI think in retrospect my strongest and happiest memories are of the cheerful and enthusiastic way the people of St Faith’s pulled together and worked so very hard to make the event a success, particularly when you consider that most of us are pensioners, some of us pensioners+ and others pensioners++ - yet whether it was the catering team or the jam factory, the cake makers, the craft stallers and stewards, the humble dish washers, people worked in a manner that would have done credit to 30-year-olds. I feel proud and honoured to be a member of this church and want to say a HUGE thank you to you all.\n- your 2015 Tree Master.\nGareth and Brenda must undoubtedly head the list of those deserving thanks and congratulations for the undoubted success of the 7th annual Christmas Tree Festival at St Faith's, not least for their gallant taking over the reins from Margaret Houghton, Tree Mistress for the six previous years. The week once again saw St Faith's at its very best - the church community getting together to serve the wider community outside our walls, to the glory and praise of God.\nTo recall the events of last December, click on the link at the foot of this page, where you will find links to galleries of photos (and a few words) from the week, as well as archived records of all the previous years. To round it all off until next December, here are a few of the many warm and appreciative comments recorded in our visitors' book.\nFabulous as usual ... see you next year! ... great experience enjoyed by all the children of Waterloo Primary School ... what a lovely idea ... humbling but lovely ... always a delight ... beautiful and very emotive ... God bless you all ... one of my favourite festive things ... we want to be members, love it every time we come here ... so thought provoking ... wonderful music, thank you ... fabulous - well done St Faith's! ... great atmosphere ... as always very moving ... very humbling as ever ... food excellent ... lovely to feel and see peace in my heart ... illuminating! ... great cafe ... so welcoming ... delightful, what a treat, thank you! ... pleasure to be back - great place for St Nicholas Singers to sing ... I love it!! |
If you are a fan of spices, this one is for you! They are a great change from your regular kind. These tender meatballs in a light tomato sauce are wonderful paired with simple steamed rice, couscous or stuffed in a pita, dressed with sour cream and yogurt sauce. Make a big batch and you will be happy to have leftovers for during the week.\nFirst, make yogurt sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well and chill until needed.\nIn a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients for meatballs, soak bread in milk until soft.\nMeanwhile prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, add garlic and cook for another minute. Add smoked paprika and aleppo pepper, stir for a few seconds, then add tomatoes, chicken stock (start with 1 cup and add more if sauce is too thick), salt, pepper and lemon peel. Simmer while you make meatballs.\nAdd the rest of the ingredients for meatballs to the soaked bread and mix until well blended (best way is to use your hands for this!), but don't over work it. The mixture should be a bit on the wet side, not dry or hard, this makes for soft and juicy meatballs.\nCarefully roll the meatballs into about 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls, it makes around 30.\nIn a nonstick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown meatballs on both sides in batches and as they are ready, transfer them over into the tomato sauce. Cook over low heat for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until cooked through, depending on the size.\nServe with steamed rice, yogurt sauce and fresh cilantro. |

"I love it when men test my tastes."\nMarried comedians Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon share the real-life story of their rocky, interracial courtship in the welcome summer romantic comedy The Big Sick. Produced by Judd Apatow and directed by Michael Showalter, the film is full of hysterical Pakastani-American themed humour about immigrant life and navigating cultural desire and creative ambition.\nWhat's so refreshing is how the obstacles between Kumail and Emily are so real and authentic feeling. Emily is freshly divorced and studying to be a therapist while Kumail (playing himself) is struggling to become a stand-up comedian while trying to please his strict religious Muslim parents (Anupam Kher and Zenobia Shroff) who want him to agree to an arranged marriage and pursue a traditional family life.\nZoe Kazan as Emily is understated but completely compelling going back and forth between charm and emotional trauma deftly. Narratively, it's more than a little challenging when half your romantic pairing falls into a coma and is removed from the story throughout the entire middle portion of the film. The limited time she has before and after her medical situation happens is a testament to the emotional resonance and connection she achieves as we miss her presence alongside Kumail.\nOnce Emily's parents enter the picture, the drama and emotion leading to dark comedy really ratchet up. Ray Romano and Holly Hunter as Emily's mismatched, worried parents are sensational. Their arc antagonistically getting to know Kumail is touching and hilarious. It's heartening seeing a film focus so much on the relationship between someone and their (eventual) in-laws and offer a diverse look at the adult/parental dynamic from different angles.\nThis is a complex film that isn't afraid of switching back and forth between the hardship drama of a loved one's medical situation and fooling around with your comic buddies, played by Aidy Bryant, Bo Burnham, and Kurt Braunohle. It's those deft shifts of tone that show Showalter's talent for managing characters, drama, and balancing jokes with feelings so well.\nThe Big Sick is an ambitious and heartfelt romantic comedy about so many wonderful things that are often difficult to talk about. The way it weaves the pursuit of stand-up comedy with experiences of being a foreigner, a tense sense of family, finding love, and dealing through hardship is breathless and so entertaining. It's a deeply personal, affecting story about real problems, genuine relationships, and the struggle of families. It's easily one of the year's most emotionally satisfying films. |
Here's real proof that Hanayama can make really interesting puzzles besides the Cast Series. Their Meiji Chocolate Series has three types of chocolate: White, Black and Milk. My choice was the latter - you guessed it, it's my favorite. If I didn't know it's a puzzle I could've tried to take a bite, that's how real it looks.\nThe puzzle comes packaged just like your average chocolate bar: A box made of paper. Inside you'll find a clear box with 12 puzzle pieces. These pieces represent all possible pentominoes (5-unit pieces) and together they can form a 10x6 rectangle, but that's not all...Besides this rectangle, which is the exact size of the provided case, you can also try to build with the 12 pieces many other different shapes and figures. Are you up for the task?\nThere's a slight issue with the puzzle's package - it's written almost entirely in Japanese - but even I, whose knowledge of Japanese is very close to zero, can decipher pretty much everything you need to know in order to fully enjoy this puzzle. The original shape (the 10x6 rectangle) has a whopping 2339 different ways to pack the pieces inside the frame. On the back of the box there's also a few other interesting shapes to build with the 12 pieces, and if that's not enough for you there's a small paper sheet inside the box with an extra 12 shapes to solve (again, all to be made using the 12 pieces).\nDifficulty-wise, the puzzle has a moderate difficulty. It's rated as a level 7/10, and I completely agree. The main challenge, to be solved using the clear case, is relatively easy, considering there's a lot of possible solutions. I was able to solve one of those 2339 solutions in under 5 minutes. Not all of them are as easy, though. I solved two other solutions, both between 5 and 10 minutes.\nSo far, I was unable to solve any of the other shapes. They are indeed much more challenging than the rectangle shape, mostly because you have to solve them without the help of a tray. This may not sound important, but having a frame with well-defined borders is a big help to visualize what you're supposed to achieve. Not having that visual aid is a really tough challenge, since you have to be constantly checking and counting the limits of your shape to see if you're doing it right. It's a great puzzle to improve your logic skills and hand-eye coordination.\nI recommend having a real chocolate bar around for when you attempt to solve this puzzle, because it is really mouth-watering. If you overcome this small problem, then you will certainly enjoy every bit of Hanyama's Meiji Milk Chocolate without leaving a bitter taste in your mouth. Also, this is a perfect gift to pull a prank on someone with a sweet tooth.\nAvailability: You can find the delicious Meiji Milk Chocolate at PuzzleMaster - your favorite confectionery.\nHere's another great Constantin puzzle that is pretty deceiving, in the way that it looks like a simple and easy puzzle, but in reality it can be much more difficult than expected. With a superb and mesmerizing design, this puzzle can lure you into a trap if you think it's a walk in the park.\nThe 7 Sterne (sterne is German for star) looks absolutely gorgeous with its impressive arabic-like pattern. Seen from above, the pieces form a circle with seven six-pointed stars. At first glance, it appears that the pattern is comprised of 30 identical pieces. That's an illusion, though, because it's actually 8 uniquely-shaped pieces, each a different configuration of those smaller pieces joined together at different angles. Not so simple now, right?\nMade with laser-cut wood, both tray and pieces, the puzzle feels very light in the hand. The pieces have a lighter shade tan the tray for maximum visual effect and the size is a little smaller than I would've liked, but still acceptable for a packing puzzle: it measures about 10cm in diameter (4").\nNow, the difficulty is rated as a level 8/10, but I actually found it slightly tougher than that - over an hour and a half to solve it. For many, this could easily turn into quite a frustrating puzzle, given the unusual shape of the pieces. It's very difficult to see where each piece should go. Even so, the tray gives you a small help, since the edges have the same shape as the extremities of the pieces, making it a tad less difficult. Other than this, there's little to help you solve this puzzle. It's a hell of a challenge, that much I can tell you, and definitely not for beginners.\n7 Sterne is a magnificent puzzle! Yes, it's difficult, really really difficult, but the rewarding feeling you get you finally place that last piece is totally worth the extra effort. Also, for its beautiful design, it can be a great decorating object.\nAvailability: You can find the 7 Sterne puzzle at PuzzleMaster for about $17 CAD. Other interesting designs from Constantin are also available.\nHere's a type of candy that's not harmless to your health in large quantities. In fact, the more you take the better for you. As advertised on the box, these candies are free of sugar and calories but contain 100% vitamin FUN. Made at SmartGames by confectioner Raf Peeters, the IQ Candy will be the delight for all kids and adults alike.\nThe IQ Candy comes in a different package than the others in the IQ series. A little bigger, but still practical enough to take it with you on your travels. The tray measures about 15cm in diameter (6"), and has a clear plastic tray to keep the pieces from being lost.\nThe game consists of seven candy-colored pieces in different trominoes and tetrominoes shapes. All pieces fill an entire 5x5 grid with no empty spaces, but the grid itself has something different from the regular 2D packing puzzles, as about half of the 25 spaces have vertical and horizontal pins on it (12, to be exact). The pieces themselves have holes, but they're placed at different directions, like the pins, and will only fit on certain places.\nWhat's great about the IQ series is that the games have very simple and easy to understand rules, so you will only need a couple of minutes to familiarize yourself with the game. First, before starting with any challenge, you have to make sure the game board is placed in the correct orientation (the only corner with a pin should be at the bottom left). Then, you just need to place the pieces as shown in any of the 60 challenges found in the booklet and solve the puzzles.\nOn the first challenges you only need to place a couple of the remaining pieces on the tray, but the harder ones will have just one or two pieces. There's only one solution per challenge. You can also try to solve puzzles that aren't on the booklet. Start with one piece and work your way until all pieces are placed on the game board.\nYou can place the pieces on the game board with either side and orientation. If a piece doesn't fit with a certain orientation, try flipping it. Besides the horizontal and vertical holes, each pieces also has a cross-shaped hole that fits on any pin, provided you place the piece as such.\nThe difficulty level of the IQ Candy is not as difficult as you might think. The pins actually reduce the number of possible configurations, which makes it easier to solve the puzzles. Mind you, easier doesn't necessarily mean easy. Just less difficult than other puzzle games.\nIQ Candy is a superb puzzle game. The design is magnificent, made with bright colors, and the pins in the game board is a nice change from the more common packing puzzles, which is a welcome variation. The taste is a little "plasticky", but the IQ Candy is worth every minute you spend with it. Playing with candy never felt this good.\nAvailability: The IQ Candy is available from major online stores like Amazon.com or in Europe at Amazon.co.uk.\nCreative Crafthouse always makes interesting puzzles. Whichever type of puzzle you like, you'll probably find something that deserves your attention...and money. Puzzle Boxes are a great example of Dave Janelle's superb craftsmanship, and the Secret Combination Puzzle Box is a unique design that can be attempted by anyone.\nAll the components of this puzzle box are made of high quality hardwood. It's a regular sized box, measuring 12.8cm in length, 6.5cm in width and 6.3cm in height (5" x 2.6" x 2.5"). The design is interesting enough to capture your attention, because of the three dials on the top of the box, but I found its overall design too bland. The dials should have been made with a contrasting color, or even with three different wood tones, to make it more visually appealing.\nLeaving the aesthetics behind, the whole mechanism works as it should. The dials turn smoothly and effortlessly, so it's up to you to find the correct sequence to easily open the lid. You have to find the correct position for all three dials simultaneously, otherwise the lid won't open.\nNow, in other circumstances, this could have been an extremely difficult puzzle to solve, since there are hundreds of possible positions and combinations the three dials could've had. Fortunately, for you and for me, the designer didn't want to make the mechanism more complex than it already was, so he settled for a simpler combination. You'll still have some discovering to do, but it won't take hours (unless you are very bad with puzzles). What you'll have to do is simply try different combinations - some patterns. All I can tell you is that you can turn the dials in 90º angles, and you'll eventually find the correct sequence if you're persistent. You can hear a ball rattling inside, but you'll have to decide if it's part of the mechanism or just another red herring.\nJanelle's Secret Combination Puzzle Box is a very original design, a bit different from the trick puzzle boxes, where all or most of the mechanism is hidden from view and you have to go at it by relying on other senses. This one is more interactive and because of its simple design anyone can try their luck at opening it.\nAvailability: The Secret Combination Puzzle Box is available at PuzzleMaster for just $20 CAD. Check out other creations by Creative Crafthouse.\nSiebenstein-Spiele has many interesting packing puzzles that go against any preconceived notions you might have on this type of puzzles. Some of these are quite unusual creations that will certainly baffle you and give you a run for your money. A Pair of Twins is one of such puzzles, but be careful not to be deceived by its true goal.\nThe design of the puzzle is made so that two sets of pieces are presented in two distinct shapes, a triangle and a square, both sets with completely different pieces. For contrast, one set is made with a light wood tone and the other in a darker shade. This is a rather small puzzle measuring 12cm x 7.5cm (4.7" x 3"). The pieces are laser-cut from plywood.\nThe solving experience on this puzzle was almost ruined by poor instructions, plain and simple. The instructions come in English and German (the native language of the designer, Jürgen Reiche), but what it says in German is completely different from what it is written in English - Good thing I know how to use Google Translate.\n(Click to Enlarge) - The "Instructions"\nThis, of course, wasn't noticed by me at first. Since I don't know German, I trusted the English instructions, which merely ask you to "Cover up all pieces of one colour with all pieces of the other colour". Now, anyone would probably interpret this as to cover one shape with the pieces of the other shape, and vice-versa...And that's what I did for probably 15/20 minutes, until I started to suspect that I wasn't going far with the current task at hand. Simply put, the pieces of one shape can't possible make the other. So, my guess was that I was missing something. Indeed, I was.\nAfter looking attentively at the instructions and noticing that the German instructions were a lot bigger, I suspected that something could've been lost in translation. Not only only something was lost, but they gave a completely new meaning to the description of the puzzle. It's like it was written by two completely different persons. Roughly, the German translation made with the online tool says that you have to find an identical, congruent figure that can be made with both sets of pieces, for one color as well as the other. That's a little different from what's asked in English, wouldn't you agree?\nAfter discovering the true goal of the puzzle, it didn't take me long to figure out the correct shape you must build with both sets of pieces...And voilá, the two figures are identical in shape and size, whether you make them with the dark pieces or the light-colored pieces. It can be a little challenging to figure out the correct shape, but once you do, it's pretty easy to solve both puzzles.\nSometimes, poor instructions can make a difference of a good puzzle and a bad one. Fortunately, I was able to minimize the damage, and a simple translation cleared the subject. From now on, I will be more alert whenever I have to follow instructions by this manufacturer. I still respect Siebenstein's work, as their puzzles are magnificently made. Just have to be more careful with what I read.\nAvailability: You can find the puzzle A Pair of Twins at PuzzleMaster for $18 CAD. Others from Siebenstein-Spiele are also available.\nI'm used to being pleasantly surprised whenever I play with a new Constantin puzzle, but I still marvel at his craftsmanship and superb quality of his designs. The Nagelbox 30 (Nagel=Nail) is another one of Constantin's excellent creations...and this is a hefty one - perfect as a center piece on a coffee table for guests to play with.\nThe first surprising fact about the Nagelbox 30 is its huge size. It's quite unusual for a 3D packing puzzle to be made in such a large size. This one measures 11.5cm (4.5") in diameter (14.5cm (5.7") if you count the protruding poles) and 9.3cm (3.7") in height. Also, because the puzzle is made from 100% natural wood, you can expect it to weigh quite a bit.\nThe design is a perfect mix of metal and wood, kind of like in the same way as two other Constantin's puzzles, the Pack + 1 and the Pilled Logs. All three puzzles are made from many types of woods, hence the different colors, and the poles are made of aluminum which reduces the total weigh of the puzzle considerably. All in all, it makes for a great looking puzzle.\nThe puzzle consists of nine identical pieces (L-shaped trominoes), but some have metal poles attached to them and other don't. Actually, only three of the pieces don't have a metal pole attached. The other six are placed on the edges of the box and go through the holes strategically placed on its four sides. Also, the poles are attached at different parts of the pieces, so you need to choose wisely which ones to use. When solved, no piece shall be visible over the top edge of the box.\nDespite what it may appear, the puzzle is actually pretty easy to solve, mostly due to the nature of the pieces. They're all identical, and the ones that need to go through the holes with the poles need to be placed in a specific position, thus leaving very few possibilities for the remaining three pieces. Nevertheless, the solving process is still fun and enjoyable, and playing with pieces this big reminds me of those extra large LEGO blocks. Who doesn't like to play with LEGO blocks?\nI had a great time playing with the Nagelbox 30, even though it was a short time. The puzzle is superbly made with quality materials and I can easily recommend it to any puzzle fan, collector or not. This will also be a great one to start with 3D packing puzzles.\nAvailability: You can find the Nagelbox 30 at Brilliant Puzzles for $42.95 USD. Also, check out their selection of Constantin puzzles, and you might find yourself with a few extra puzzles on your collection pretty soon. |

Pinocchio Shorts: I started with some red leggings and cut the legs off. I hemmed the cut part (or you can leave it raw if you want, it won’t really fray). I bought some red ribbon for the suspender straps and sewed that on, and then measured Poesy’s shoulders to properly place the buttons. The last detail was adding the trim to the sides of the shorts. I glued those on with Tacky Glue and sewed the top and bottom so the trim would be extra secure.\nPinocchio Collar: For the collar, I measured Poesy’s neck and cut a collar shape from felt. I cut two rectangles of blue fabric, sewed them both into tubes, and then attached them to each side of the collar ends. I did it this way because I knew there would be many layers along her neck and shoulders, so I was trying to keep the costume as comfy as possible. The very last step was cutting a simple vest from felt. For costumes, you really can’t beat the simplicity of felt!\nBlue Fairy Dress (top): The first step to creating this dress is to pick an existing dress that fits well. Trace around the top portion of the dress (plus 1/2″ all the way around for hemming purposes). Sew the bodice and measure the armholes. Measure out your sleeves to fit the armholes and pin in place. Stitch those in place with your machine (or by hand sewing), and flip rightside out.\nBlue Fairy Dress (bottom): To finish out the bottom, trace around the bottom of your existing dress (plus 1/2″ all the way down) with your added inches for length. Stitch the sides up with your sewing machine and finish the waist using the same method as this tutorial.\nI kept the top portion and the bottom portion unattached and simply tucked the top into the skirt. It seemed to work out nicely.\nFigaro the Cat Jacket (front): The simplest way I found to create a pattern for a fur jacket like this is to fold your fabric in half and have the person who will be wearing it just lay down on the fur. Trace around the person (arms and all) and cut out the shape. Stitch up the outside and inside of the arms, shoulders, and sides. Add a little white fur embellishment to the middle.\nFigaro the Cat Jacket (back): After you get the general shape stitched up, cut straight down the middle of the back. Add ties (as shown above) to the back for a simple way to open and close the jacket.\nThe cat ears are from this tutorial.\nI truly love homemade costumes and this one might be stealing the slot for most favorite so far. Piecing together things from your closet along with handmade items can be so whimsical! I definitely can’t wait to wear these to a Halloween party this year.\nCredits // Author: Katie Shelton. Photography: Janae Hardy and Katie Shelton. Photos edited with A Beautiful Mess actions.\nKatie, you always do the cutest costumes! I actually remember the Peter Pan themed one from last year. I’m in no rush to have kids, but Halloween with youngsters is so much fun. I have a dream of dressing my kid up like Max from Where the Wild Things Are, haha.\nShe is so cute!!! look at those shoes!! beautiful family, you´ll look fantastic!!\nThis is SUCH a sweet idea. I played the Blue Fairy in a show last year, but I like your costume way better than what I wore! 🙂 And such a good way to use that star headband that you already had! You all look adorable.\nOh my goodness, there is too much cuteness in these shots! Heart exploding!\nKatie, your family is so lovely. All of the costumes are amazing!\nWow, awesome! I wish I could talk my family into having themed costumes that match, but no dice. My hubby won’t dress up and my kids have very adamant ideas about what they want to be. My son wants to be “Dark Fader” (Darth Vader), and my daughter wants to be who else? Elsa from frozen – I bet there will be a hundred bagillion of those running around. But, I decided to match her and be Anna, can’t wait!!!\nsoooooooooooo nice!! and that’s amazing because i just watch this cartoon with my youngest son sunday morning! I love that old fashioned Disney.\nThey’re all so well done, but the Pinocchio costume is my favourite! It’s too cute.\nAH! I adore this! Your annual Halloween costumes are seriously some of my favorite things!\nOoh, what a great idea, brilliantly executed!\nI hope Figaro collects her treats with a goldfish bowl that has Cleo the goldfish painted on it. These are so so so cute!\nThese are so CUTE! Everyone looks amazing!\nI LOVE these! Everyone looks so perfect, Poesy is so, so cute, and… ah! Love!\nThis is seriously perfect. One day, I’ll copy this!!\nsuch a fun family, do the girls have a hard time choosing a theme with you?\nMy mom always made my costumes when I was a kid and helping her was the best part of Halloween for me. Such a great family costume idea!\nWhat amazing pictures & costumes!! I cannot believe you made them yourself, what talent!\nI love themed family costumes for Halloween, and you are definitely one of the very best at that Katie!\nPoesy is looking adorable, the pictures of Hope and her together are the sweetest.\nOnce again Katie, you nailed it! Great idea (I love the story of Pinocchio!) and great work from you. Now I’m anxious for next year’s costumes! Have fun at the party!!!\nwhat a cute idea, and the photos are just lovely.\nVery cute costumes! I love it!\nLove it, we always dress up for Halloween I feel we may put a little too much effort in sometimes but it looks like we are not alone! Unfortunately my 9 year old daughter would never entertain a family theme – boo hoo – she’s far too cool to dress in anything remotely the same as her parents!\nThis is great! love how they turned out. I actually wanted to do a pinocchio running costume and there’s some great ideas here. Thanks!\nSuch a cute idea! Disney is inspirational in so many ways!\nLove it! I especially love that Poe is dressed up as a boy character. I have a daughter and for her first two Halloween’s I dressed as boy charecters. This year she is going to be a dragon. But I’m putting a tulle skirt on her to girl it up a little bit.\nThese costumes are so great. Your family always looks like so much fun.\nPosey is adorable! Well, your entire family is, Katie. Beautiful customes.\nThis is such a clever and creative idea. The costumes turned out wonderfully! You’re such a crafty lady!\nSeriously, that is the cutest Pinocchio of all time!\nAdorable!!! I want a family like this!!\nWhat a magical family set of costumes! The kitty one looks especially warm, which would be lovely for any other Halloween, but gosh, it’s been so warm out this October, I wouldn’t doubt Halloween will call for T-shirts and shorts!\nI absolutely adore Poe’s shoes!!!!! Love the themed costumes! Yall are one of my favorite families. |

Halitosis is the clinical name. You can use this term when someone comments on your breath. No, it’s not bad breath, it’s halitosis. Make sure you keep a straight face and look knowledgeable. This only works until Dr Google finds Wikipedia, and then you are done for.\nHalitosis (bad breath) is a common condition caused by sulphur-producing bacteria that live within the surface of the tongue and in the throat. Sometimes, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate and odorous volatile sulphur compounds are released from the back of the tongue and throat.\nThe main sites in the body that causes bad breath – the mouth, the sinuses, the lungs and the stomach.\nDental causes – such as periodontitis (calculus around the teeth causing infection and inflammation of the gums), poor oral hygiene, abscesses of the gums and teeth, or ulcers.\nDry mouth – caused by medicines, alcohol, stress or a medical condition.\nPost-nasal discharge – for example, due to chronic sinusitis.\nMedical conditions – Kidney failure, various carcinomas, metabolic dysfunctions, and biochemical disorders.\nHowever, these conditions only account for only a very small amount of the causes of halitosis.\nFoods – such as onions, garlic or cauliflower, which induce certain odours, but the effects are short-lived.\nThe treatment for halitosis will depend on the underlying cause. Smoking, dry mouth, dental infections and nasal or sinus infections can cause bad breath. Good oral hygiene including cleaning, flossing and tongue cleaning, is important. Other treatments may include mouthwashes, nasal spray or antibiotics.\nHalitosis is not infectious. About 2.4% of the adult population suffers from bad breath. |

Rob Drijkoningen assesses the state of the Turkish economy, and identifies a rare bright spot for foreign investors.\nThe people of Turkey recently re-elected Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as President for another five years, while delivering a parliamentary majority for the alliance led by his Justice and Development Party (AKP).\nThe extent of President Erdoğan’s commitment to responsible monetary and fiscal policies will be a key element in Turkey’s economic performance. Concerns the economy is overheating amid a broader sell-off across emerging markets have led to the lira weakening by 22% against the dollar in the first half of the year. But the newly powerful Erdoğan is far from the whole story.\nLast year, when the emerging world was growing fast, Turkey’s 7% real growth rate stood out. It has remained strong this year, at 7.4% in the first quarter, driven very much by accommodative monetary and fiscal policies which boosted credit growth, consumption, and the real estate and construction sectors.\nThis is all in line with Erdoğan’s push for mega-projects ahead of the centennial of the Republic in 2023. However, it is at odds with the usual Central and Eastern European playbook of boosting value-add in export sectors, which has left Turkey with significant macroeconomic imbalances. The current account deficit has continued to widen, partly due to higher oil prices, as Turkey is a large net oil importer. It is also partly because foreign direct investment remains low, covering just 15-20% of the current account deficit – versus an average of 80% in the rest of Central and Eastern Europe.\nThese imbalances have strained the investment environment, fuelling the lira sell-off and forcing the central bank to hike rates by five percentage points in a fight to curb inflation. The official inflation target is 5%, but the Consumer Price Index for June showed a rate of 15.4%, the highest since the introduction of a new method for measuring inflation in 2004. Current expectations are for a peak as high as 17% and Turkey’s Producer Price Index already shows inflation at 24%.\nIn short, Turkey’s economy will have to adjust through a significant slowdown, with domestic demand growth likely halving from last year. To do so successfully, the central bank will need more space than it has been allowed recently. Before recent hikes, its ability to respond was impaired by persistent political interference – Erdoğan takes the unorthodox view higher interest rates cause higher inflation rather than the other way around, while outgoing Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım reiterated ‘lowering interest rates and lowering inflation’ would be the government’s top priorities.\nNonetheless, for all the challenges, Turkey’s starting point appears strong. Public debt is only 25% of GDP and the budget deficit was just 2.1% of GDP last year. While there is a material risk of a rise in non-performing loans given the weak lira and the pending slowdown, on the whole, Turkey’s banking sector appears healthy and liquid.\nIts economy stands out among countries with external imbalances exposed to higher global borrowing costs. Market discipline as well as large foreign-exchange liabilities in the non-financial corporate sector serve as an effective – check on ultra-pro-growth monetary and fiscal policies. Turkey also has a number of structural strengths, including strong demographics and a vibrant and competitive private sector, which provides key links in the European supply chain.\nWe maintain a positive view on both hard currency and local currency bonds. On the hard currency side, we see Turkish spreads capturing near-term political and geopolitical risks. The bonds trade in line with B+ credits while Turkey is currently rated BB, which in our view does not fully take into account the balance of risks.\nIn local bonds, we believe the real yield compensation in the belly of the curve captures near-term inflation uncertainty. We also think the central bank will keep monetary policy tight to re-establish some credibility. Its recent tightening is likely to cause a significant slowdown in the second half of this year. Should the government refrain from another fiscal impulse – it has traditionally been fiscally responsible and needs to adjust after loosening ahead of the election – we believe local-currency yields offer potential value.\nHowever, we remain cautious on the Turkish lira, as we anticipate further vulnerability to headlines around the new cabinet and potential hiccups in communication. |

The South did not take the Wilmot Proviso laying down, though the fire-eaters’ answer doesn’t receive near the same coverage in most history books.\nWilliam Lowndes Yancey of Alabama served only a term and part in the House but won some notoriety for his forceful oratory in favor of Texas annexation and the Mexican War, which provoked an opponent to challenge him to a duel. During his time in Washington, Yancey became increasingly convinced that a Northern conspiracy aimed to destroy the South. His speeches accordingly gave Northerners reason to suspect the same of the South towards the North. Yancey served only a term and a portion before resigning for financial reasons and to avoid from Northern Democrats who he saw as traitors.\nResolved, That this Convention pledges itself to the country, and its members pledge themselves to each other, under no political necessity whatever, to support for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, any person who shall not openly and avowedly be opposed to either of the forms of excluding slavery from the territories of the U.S. mentioned in the resolutions, as being alike in violation of the constitution, and of the just and equal rights of the slaveholding States.\nResolved, That these resolutions be considered as instructions to our delegates to the Baltimore Convention, to guide them in their votes in that body; and that they vote for no men for President or Vice-President, who will not unequivocally avow themselves to be opposed to either of the forms of restricting slavery, which are described in these resolutions.\nThe Alabama and Georgia legislatures endorsed the platform, as did party conventions in Florida and Virginia. The Baltimore convention of 1848, however, rejected the platform and selected Michigan’s Lewis Cass, originator of the concept of popular sovereignty (That the territories, not the Congress, should decide on slavery within their bounds.) as the Democratic nominee.\nYancey and one other delegate from Alabama walked out and the convention proceeded without them. Yancey did not return to party conventions until 1860, when considerably more delegates stormed out with him.\nI began yesterday with the Wilmot Proviso and intended today to continue with a Southern response to it. Then, in the course of reading, I came upon insight into Wilmot’s motives that speaks broadly to the character to antislavery politics in the North.\nSo I’ve transcribed some passages from Wilmot’s speech of February 8, 1847, straight from images of the Congressional Globe pages. Wilmot, in the style of the time, goes on at length so I’ve been a little more aggressive than I would usually be in pruning him down.\nAbolitionists remained a radical fringe and thus the accusation Wilmot rejects has a hint of red-baiting about it. Even during the war a majority of the North only accepted emancipation as a weapon with which to defeat the South and afterwards abolition to secure that victory.\nI demand that this Government preserve the integrity of free territory against the aggressions of slavery — against its wrongful usurpations. Sir, I was in favor of the annexation of Texas. … I was willing to take Texas as she was. … Slavery existed in Texas — planted there, it is true, in defiance of law; still it existed. … True it was held out to the North, that at least two of the five States to be formed out of Texas would be free. Yet, sir, the whole of Texas has been given up to slavery. … here was an empire larger than France given up to slavery. Shall further concessions be made by the North?\nThis [Mexican] law prohibits slavery in California and New Mexico. But the South contend, that in their emigration to this free territory, they have the right to take and hold slaves, the same as other property. … Shall the South be permitted, by aggression, by invasion of the right, by subduing free territory and planting slavery upon it, to wrest these provinces from northern freemen and then them to the accomplishment of their own sectional purposes and schemes? This is the question.\nAs Wilmot also states in the speech, the convention runs that on annexation of new territory that territory’s previous laws remain unless specifically voided. Thus stood Mexico’s abolition of slavery and thence comes Wilmot’s reference to planting slavery in Texas in defiance of law.\nAnd what did Wilmot really think about slavery qua slavery?\nWilmot probably spoke for the Northern mainstream. Most antislavery politicians might have personally found slavery disgusting and immoral, but their driving political objections involved its competition with free labor and the great perceived power of slaveowning aristocrats. They did not envision a nation where the races lived together, peaceful and equal, but rather a lily-white republic where slavery proved no obstacle to the advancement of the white man.\nYesterday, in the late 1840s, I talked about the outbreak of the Mexican War. Like Texas annexation the votes on it showed a pronounced sectional divide. It did not reach the extremes of the 1850s, but did mark another step away from an era where both parties, which had constituencies in North and South alike, worked to avoid being either the slavery party or the antislavery party.\nAlways unstable, that settlement could not last forever. Texas strained it, but the popularity of annexation in general somewhat ameliorated the strain. Much the same happened with the votes on the Mexican War. Like in the Second World War, planning for the peace began during the fighting. Would the new territories of the Mexican Cession be slave or free?\nFor a Democrat, a member of the party of expansion and the party more successful at marginalizing its antislavery wing, this was radical. It might not have happened, had Polk not alienated Northern Democrats with a low tariff (harming Northern manufacturing interests) and by compromising with the United Kingdom over the division of the Oregon Country at the same time as he favored extreme Southern expansion. Going further back, Southern Democrats denied Van Buren nomination for a second term in 1844 by bringing back a disused rule requiring a ⅔ majority of the convention.\nWilmot’s proviso joined the bill with a 83-64 sectional majority. Attempts to forestall it with an extension of the Missouri Compromise (89-54) and to kill the entire bill (94-78) failed and the bill went to the Senate, where the sections stood evenly split. Senate Democrats planned to strip the Proviso and throw the bill back to the House. Senator John Davis (Whig-MA) tried to hold the floor until the last moment, leaving no time for the House to re-vote and thus forcing the Senate to take the bill as-is. But the official House and Senate clocks differed by eight minutes. When he called a vote, the House had already adjourned and the bill died.\nThe Proviso returned in 1847, this time expanded to include all territory on the North American continent. Representative Stephen Douglas (D-Il), Lincoln’s famous debate partner, countered with another proposal to extend the Missouri Compromise, failing 109-82. The strengthened Proviso passed the House again only to be defeated by the Senate. When the Proviso-free bill returned to the House, every Northern Whig supported the Proviso still, but 22 Northern Democrats voted with the South. The Proviso came up one last time, as an amendment to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ending the war. Now a senator, Stephen Douglas joined with other Northern Democrats and the South in defeating it.\nBut all of this left question of slavery in the Mexican Cession unanswered.\nWhat began with Texas annexation as a partisan, but also sectional divide on expansion strategy had become a sectional, but also partisan divide on slavery expansion. The division hit the Whig party hardest, but the Northern, frustrated Van Buren Democrats, after failing to get a pro-Proviso plank into the party platform in 1848, came to see their party as dominated by Slave Power and began looking for a new home.\nI’m pretty new at this blogging thing, so today my blogfather took me under his wing and told me I ought to put more links in to help the casual reader navigate around and be generally more informative. Having a few minutes, I went and did that tonight on the old posts. But that appears to have shot out a few of those as if they were new. So sorry if that spammed anybody. I’ll try to take more care in the future.\nYesterday I mentioned Texas’ disputed boundary with Mexico. The Texan claim included half of modern New Mexico, the Oklahoma panhandle, a corner of Kansas, a long slice of Colorado, and even a small portion of Wyoming. The Texans never controlled half of it. Their only expedition to extend their authority over New Mexico suffered under Indian raids, got lost, and finally ended up in a Mexican jail.\nMexico considered the Texan claim preposterous, insisting instead on the Nueces River, and threatened war should the United States annex Texas. The US did so on December 29, 1845. James K. Polk, a slaveholder and the only president we know of who traded slaves from within the White House, did not wait for the paperwork. He ordered Zachary Taylor to the Nueces with 3,500 men, close to half of the entire American army at the time. Taylor arrived there in October of 1845.\nIn November, Polk dispatched John Slidell to Mexico City in secret with an offer to buy California, New Mexico, and settle the border at the Rio Grande in exchange for forgiveness of debts owed to Americans from the Mexican War of Independence to the tune of $3 million (about $71 million today) and offer up $25 million to $30 million (almost $600 million to $713 million) in cash. The Mexicans refused.\nJohn C. Frémont, explorer, provacateur, and future presidential candidate.\nMeanwhile, over the winter of 1845-46 federally commissioned explorer John C. Frémont led an armed expedition into Upper California. Frémont insisted he only wanted supplies for a trip up into the Oregon Country. He only entered Californian towns to find a home for his mother, Frémont maintained as he tried to spark an independence-to-annexation movement on the Texas model among local Americans. Smelling a rat, the Mexicans ordered him out. Frémont instead built a fort and ran up the American flag, prompting the local American consul, who was under orders to quietly support a California independence movement, to tell him how his actions undermined those efforts. Frémont left in March, but returned in June to help the Bear Flag Revolt.\nPolk ordered Taylor’s army to the Rio Grande in early 1846, where they built a fort facing Matamoros and Taylor attempted negotiations. No one in Taylor’s army had sufficient Spanish and none of the Mexicans facing him had sufficient English, so they negotiated fruitlessly in French. As the standoff progressed, Mexican reinforcements arrived.\nOn the night of April 24-25, a cavalry detachment of seventy men, tasked to see if the Mexicans had crossed the Rio Grande northwest of the army’s position found out the hard way that two thousand had done just that. After a fight that went on through the night, they surrendered. On receiving the news, Taylor sent word back to Washington that hostilities had commenced. It arrived two weeks later.\nBut Lincoln and Emerson did not represent the majority. War fever swept the nation and, after some early victories, Congress turned to what to do with the vast territories the army would surely take from Mexico.\nI’ve discussed in general terms most of the major crises and compromises leading up to the election of 1860 and subsequent war but my focus, has largely been on what the events meant and how the people of the time understood them, while paying less mind to the events themselves. As I’ve written those pieces, I’ve often thought I should step back and try to do something closer to a chronological approach handling the events that drove the rising tensions and increasing radicalism. So this is the first installment of The Road to War.\nAny starting point is at least somewhat arbitrary. Most accounts begin with the Mexican War, but I wanted to take one more step back. Further entries might explore further back.\nSoutherners settled Texas, taking advantage of newly independent Mexico’s law opening the land to anyone regardless of race or nationality. Always hungry for new land, planters came across the border with their slaves. The first few grants predated Mexican independence, but the big wave of settlement came after 1821. In relatively short order the Americans formed the local majority.\nThen Mexico abolished slavery. The Americans in Texas promptly revolted to defend their right to slave property. Many Texans wanted back into the US. They sent a minister to the Van Buren administration seeking just that in 1837. He declined on the grounds that Texas’s unsettled borders would mean war with Mexico and that Texas would greatly expand American territory open to slavery.\nJohn C. Calhoun of South Carolina, Secretary of State, Senator, and the generation’s leading secession and slavery booster.\nPer the Constitution, treaties require a ⅔ majority in the Senate for ratification. It failed 16 to 35, with 28 of the Senate’s 29 Whigs voting against. (The odd Whig out was a southerner from Mississippi.) The Democrats split, five northerners and ten southerners in favor to six northerners and five southerners opposed. Though not as polarized as the nation would become, already in 1843 the vote had a strong sectional character.\nJames K. Polk ran in 1844 on an expansionist, annexationist platform. Seeing the popularity of annexation, Tyler and John C. Calhoun arranged a joint resolution of Congress to annex Texas instead of a treaty. Requiring only a simple majority, the resolution passed (Senate: 27-25, House 132-76) days before Polk took office. Texas accepted and Congress ratified the acceptance (Senate 31-14, with 7 abstentions, House 141-58, with 21 abstentions) and Texas skipped over the usual territorial phase, becoming a state immediately.\nThe deed was done, but it foreshadowed greater conflicts over slavery in the West, which drove much of the polarization before the war. The next of those would, of course, include the territory seized in the war that annexation brought on.\nYesterday I talked about Lemmon vs. New York as the next Dred Scott case. Today I want to drill down and look at the facts in each to show just how similar they are.\nBorn a slave in Southampton county, Virginia, Dred Scott went with his owners to Alabama where they failed at farming and came eventually to St. Louis. There they sold him to army surgeon John Emerson. Scott accompanied Emerson to his postings in the free state of Illinois and then to modern Minnesota, free soil under the Missouri Compromise. There he married another slave and she gave birth to his daughter. The same Missouri Compromise made that daughter free at birth.\nAfter two years, the army transferred Emerson to St. Louis and then Louisiana. The Scotts followed. Emerson married Irene Sanford and returned to Missouri with the Scotts in 1842. Emerson died the next year, making the Scotts Sanford’s property. She instructed Scott to hire out to another army officer. We don’t know exactly why Dred Scott only now sought his freedom. He might not have known his rights based on his stays in free Minnesota (then Wisconsin Territory) or Illinois. He might have feared retaliation against himself and his family. Whatever his reasons, Scott tried to buy his family from Sanford. She refused. With the help of abolitionist friends, Scott sued.\nState and federal law excluded slavery from territory where the Scotts once lived. They thus became free when taken there.\nMissouri free the Scotts from a combination of the supremacy of federal law in the Northwest Ordinance, repeated in the Wisconsin Enabling Act, and the Missouri Compromise in addition to its Constitutional obligations to acknowledge Illinois’ freeing of the Scotts via the Full Faith and Credit Clause.\nThe Missouri supreme court took up the case and overturned twenty-eight years of precedent in finding that Missouri law prevailed and the Scotts remained slaves. The opinion of the court referenced the the proslavery climate of 1852 making such freedom suits unwelcome and informed Scott he ought to have sued in a free state.\nUnder Missouri law, control of Emerson’s estate passed to Irene’s brother, John Sanford. The latter Sanford lived in New York, which gave Scott a federal case. With some new lawyers he sued again. In 1854, the circuit court upheld the Missouri supreme court’s verdict. Scott appealed to the Supreme Court, delighting proslavery opinion thanks to that court’s southern majority. Roger Taney’s court ruled as described yesterday, overturning a law as unconstitutional for only the second time in the court’s history.\nIn 1852, the same year Dred Scott’s suit before the Missouri supreme court failed, Jonathan and Juliet Lemmon of Virginia sailed from Norfolk to New York, aiming to catch a steamer to Texas. They brought with them eight slaves (ages 2-23), and put them in a boarding house while they waited for their ship. The slaves came in contact with a free black, who petitioned the New York courts on their behalf under New York’s antislavery laws, which gave freedom to every slave brought into the state for any reason. Like the Scotts, the Lemmon’s slaves came to a free state and sued under its laws for their freedom. Unlike the Scotts, they were still in that state.\nJonathan Lemmon appealed to the New York Supreme Court, then its Court of Appeals (the highest court in the state). Both courts ruled against him. Seeing the potential of the case, Virginia determined to pursue the matter with Roger Taney’s Supreme Court. Having already put slavery beyond the power of territorial or federal law, only state law remained and the Lemmon case directly challenged it.\nYesterday I described various setbacks to the antislavery movement over the course of the 1850s. Space did not permit also including much of how they understood these setbacks. (I try to keep these posts to about five hundred words.) But they saw writing on the wall just the same as their Southern adversaries did.\nWelcome, or unwelcome, such decision [that the Constitution forbade the states outlawing slavery] is probably coming, and will soon be upon us, unless the power of the present political dynasty shall be met and overthrown. We shall lie down pleasantly dreaming that the people of Missouri are on the verge of making their State free, and we shall awake to the reality instead that the Supreme Court has made Illinois a slave State.\nThe next Dred Scott case had already come up through the New York courts, appealed by Virginian slaveholders who had their slaves freed under that state’s law. Given Taney’s firm commitment, on display in Dred Scott, to resolving the issue of slavery once and for all who could doubt the outcome of Lemmon vs. New York when it arrived on his docket in 1860?\nBut when we see a lot of framed timbers, different portions of which we know have been gotten out at different times and places and by different workmen,—Stephen [Douglas], Franklin [Pierce], Roger [Taney], and James [Buchanan], for instance,—and we see these timbers joined together, and see they exactly make the frame of a house or a mill, all the tenons and mortises exactly fitting, and all the lengths and proportions of the different pieces exactly adapted to their respective places, and not a piece too many or too few, not omitting even scaffolding—or, if a single piece be lacking, we see the place in the frame exactly fitted and prepared yet to bring such piece in—in such a case we find it impossible not to believe that Stephen and Franklin and Roger and James all understood one another from the beginning, and all worked upon a common plan or draft drawn up before the first blow was struck.\n“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new, North as well as South.\nTraditionally historians have dismissed Lincoln’s fears as campaign rhetoric, but over the past few decades the trend, as with many trends in Civil War historiography, has greatly reversed. While I don’t think many would endorse the view that a conscious, deliberate conspiracy to turn free states slave existed, the outcome naturally follows from slaves being property and the Constitution’s guarantee of property rights. John C. Calhoun’s vision of an America where he could take his wagon, his horse, and his slave anywhere in the nation and be completely secure in his ownership of them all does look like where the Congress and Court aimed. In that America, a free state is a legal impossibility.\nThe Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 effectively legalizing kidnapping, requiring federal marshals to arrest and hold any black person that a slaveholder cared to claim was a runaway. These alleged fugitives had no right to contest their seizure, repudiating free state laws that gave them just that. That the law also gave a bounty to those capturing runaways and offered only the narrowest fig leaf of due process: a simple hearing where the alleged fugitive could not defend himself and the judge would be paid $10 (approximately $266 in 2011 dollars) for ruling for the slaveowner but only $5 if ruling against.\nThe Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri Compromise that formerly excluded slavery from nearly all the territories, opening the West to slavery.\nAs a result of the former, filibusters from Missouri (including senator David Atchison) and Arkansas flooded into Kansas to ensure it became a slave state. Antislavery forces responded in kind and guerrilla war erupted while pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces submitted duelling constitutions to Congress.\nNo black person could ever be a citizen and thus entitled to the protection of the laws of the United States, including the privilege of freedom granted to slaves who came to free states.\nNeither Congress nor the the territorial legislatures could constitutionally exclude slavery, ensuring that the Kansas method for making new slave states would remain legal.\nWhat remained, then? The whole antebellum edifice of limited slavery, save the prohibition on the Atlantic slave trade alone, had passed into history. Slaveholders could move their slaves through free states at will. They could bring slaves and with them slavery to any territory. Neither territorial legislature nor Congress could exclude slavery from any part of the United States and slaveholders could flood into any new territory before statehood to be sure it adopted slavery on admission to the Union.\nTomorrow, I’ll talk about how the antislavery movement understood all of this.\nEdmund Ruffin of Virginia, firer of one of the first shots on Fort Sumter and the first Confederate to enter it, was a prominent fire-eater. He shot himself three months after Appomattox.\nThe division of 1860 and the resulting Secession Winter did not come ex nihilo. In the decade before the war, radical disunionist voices gained increasing sway in the Southern political class and their position that any restriction on slavery in the territories both unconstitutionally violated the property rights of Southern planters and posed an existential threat to the Southern way of life became received wisdom. The North’s supposedly moderate compromises could only then mask abolitionist fervor. To countenance them would allow a kind of backdoor abolition that would reduce the white South to poverty or even destroy it in a race war.\nSeeking in part to redress the Senate imbalance that California’s statehood created, Southerners flocked into Kansas to ensure it became a slave state. Antislavery Northerners responded in kind and guerrilla war erupted.\nWhile militias and governments dueled in Kansas, Minnesota and Oregon came in as free states and balance in the Senate became officially a thing of the past.\nA Yankee abolitionist and veteran of Bleeding Kansas went south to seize arms and stage an insurrection.\nA political party grew with the express purpose of limiting slavery and, in 1856, nearly won the presidency. In 1860, that party elected Lincoln.\nBut in 1860 American slaves, as a financial asset, were worth approximately three and a half billion dollars–that’s just as property. Three and a half billion dollars was the net worth, roughly, of slaves in 1860. In today’s dollars that would be approximately seventy-five billion dollars. In 1860 slaves as an asset were worth more than all of America’s manufacturing, all of the railroads, all of the productive capacity of the United States put together. Slaves were the single largest, by far, financial asset of property in the entire American economy. The only thing worth more than the slaves in the American economy of the 1850s was the land itself, and no one can really put a dollar value on all of the land of North America.\nAll of that value, especially when held by the political class itself, could not go undefended. In the lead-up to the war, the Southern political class came to fear what they called the Shrinking South: The slave population would continue to increase. At present, they had lands in the West open to use those surplus slaves so demand could keep up with supply. But were the West closed to slavery, the natural increase of the slave population would not stop. More slaves in the face of static or declining demand would erode the value of those slaves already held, bringing financial ruin on a scale many of them probably could not imagine.\nLincoln’s firm campaign promises, his party platform, and his steadfast insistence on not compromising on slavery in the territories meant the arrival of that nightmare. They had to go or be ruined. They got to go and be ruined. |

Amsterdam-based Standard Studio was commissioned to turn an old Rotterdam office building into student housing consisting of 218 self-contained apartments. With little available floorspace to work with, the firm drew design inspiration from the space-saving designs pioneered by the tiny house movement.\nEach Hermes City Plaza apartment measures only 18 sq m (193 sq ft), which to put it into perspective, is not too far off the Sturgis tiny house. Notwithstanding this lack of space, Standard Studio still managed to squeeze in some home comforts, including a kitchenette, double bed, and shower.\nThe firm made good use of the tall ceiling in the former office space to add a queen-sized loft bed that hangs down from the concrete ceiling. Residents must access the bed by climbing atop a storage unit that doubles as a staircase (a handrail is installed to help unsteady students make the climb safely after a late night spent studying or partying).\nOther notable space-saving ideas include the sink. "Because the house offers no space for a vanity unit and a sink in the kitchen, both have been ingeniously combined," says Standard Studio. "The sink is divided by a floating panel which is on one side a sink with mirror. And on the other hand, it is a sink in the kitchen with a handy chalkboard."\nElsewhere in the apartment lies a dining table, a sofa with integrated storage space, and a desk area.\nThe Hermes City Plaza building also contains some shared areas and amenities, such as a roof terrace, music room, laundry area, bar, and a private garden.\nConstruction work was completed in 2017 and it officially opened earlier this year. |
Enrique Jiménez Fernández, known as Enrique ‘El Mellizo’, was born in Cádiz in 1848 and died in Seville in 1906. As someone who possessed the qualities both of a great creator and a great performer, he has gone down in the history of flamenco singing as one of the greatest musicians of the art form.\nHis private and professional life was lived out almost entirely in his hometown of Cádiz, where he combined the professions of working in the municipal slaughterhouse – a trade inherited from his father – with assisting famous bullfighters from his city as a puntillero, delivering the coup de grace to the dying bull. These were environments in which flamenco enjoyed an all-important presence. He soon discovered he possessed innate qualities for flamenco singing and took a great interest in it, later drawing upon it to reproduce and personalise the forms. At the same time, he took advantage of his interpretive qualities to sing in the cafés cantantes [music bars] of Cádiz, such as La Jardinera, El Perejil and La Filipina, as well as at private gatherings and parties.\nThe fame of this cantaor gitano soon spread beyond his home town, and singers from the rest of Andalusia as well as Spain in general would seek him out to hear and learn about his innovatory techniques for singing existing sings.\nHe was married to Ignacia Espeleta Ortega, whose family had strong roots in the worlds of bullfighting and flamenco. As the daughter and sister of famous bullfighters and flamenco singers, she provided Enrique ‘El Mellizo’ with the ideal atmosphere for developing his main interests: flamenco singing and bullfighting.\nHe had eight children with Ignacia, three of whom outlived him: Antonio, Enrique and Carlota. Although the two sons, known in the flamenco world as Antonio ‘El Mellizo’ and Enrique ‘El Morcilla’, were less renowned than their father, they did possess his singing talent, and they proudly carried on the task of preserving and passing on his exceptional oeuvre.\n‘El Mellizo’ died of pulmonary tuberculosis aged just fifty-eight. His passing triggered mourning throughout the flamenco world, and particularly in his city where he was afforded a funeral with the highest honours.\nEnrique ‘El Mellizo’ embodied the purest essence of creatividad gitana, or Roma creativity: he transformed the sounds and put them in order, providing the necessary link between archaic and popular sounds, and turning them into essential reference points that made flamenco singing what it is today.\nHis cantes that became part of history include styles for soleá, seguiriyas, malagueñas, alegrías, tientos and saetas.\nThe first of these is an introductory soleá which is very popular among flamenco artists – a composition that Enrique ‘El Mellizo’ would spread in the last third of the nineteenth century, and which is one of the most widely interpreted in flamenco recordings. The fact that the various interpretations have kept the same structure gives an idea of how well-rounded and polished this melody is. In the same way, it tells us a great deal about its creator’s concept of flamenco singing: a very beautiful melody joined to a strong emotional charge with the use of linked phrases and sliding notes. Furthermore, this is a modern take on flamenco singing compared to previous forms, which were musically harsher and rougher with a less pronounced melodic arc.\nThe similarity with melodies from other areas of flamenco singing, such as La Serneta’s utrera and Joaquín el de la Paula’s soleá de Alcalá, shows that not only were the main singing families of the era in contact with each other, but there was also a mutual influence on their cantes, which nonetheless retained the distinct personalities of their creators.\nque en mi cuerpo quiero vestir.\npara todo el que sabe distinguir.\nyo mi cuerpo quiero vestir.\nis how I want to dress.\nThe second soleá style is a cante de cambio or cante de cierre, which is appropriate for upping the tension or simply coming to a powerful ending. As in the previous style, the lovely melody and its great emotional charge evoke its composer’s musical beliefs, allowing us to imagine the qualities that ‘El Mellizo’ himself must have possessed as a singer: a sophisticated performer with a powerful voice, who also had a tendency for strong emotions, as evidenced by the linking of musical phrases and the melodic ascents and falls in the beginning and end of the lines.\nquiero que le ruegues a Dios.\nI want you to beg God.\nAlthough the third contribution by Enrique ‘El Mellizo’ to the soleá style is the least known and interpreted of the three, it is probably the oldest. Like the other two, it presents a continuous, unbroken melody line, making it a difficult style to execute.\nLas que en el silencio estén.\nde quien yo camelo bien.\nThe creative flow of Enrique ‘El Mellizo’ was by no means limited to the soleá form, and his talent for composition can also be seen in the repertoire of siguiriya styles that have come down to us. Specifically, two creations are attributed to him. The first is possibly an interpretation that Enrique himself made of other previous Roma siguiriyas. It is likely he was heard singing them, and thus they came to be associated with him. Moreover, there are references indicating that Enrique collected money to exempt his son from performing military service at a time when Spain was at war, so it is quite possible this verse alluded to that situation.\ny me has hecho pasar.\nTo go begging for alms.\nThe second siguiriya style attributed to ‘El Mellizo’ is believed to have possibly been popularised in the 1880s, when the singer from Cádiz was about thirty years old. This composition is another example of his originality and creative capacity. It is a style that has all the musicality and drama we are so familiar with in Enrique’s work.\naaaa yyya yyyy todo lo que yo le debo.\nOh oh oh, everything I owe her.\nEnrique ‘El Mellizo’ had a revolutionary capacity to turn folkloric music into flamenco, modernise it and above all, endow it with musicalidad gitana, or Roma musicality. In this way, the form known as malagueñas, a regional variety of fandango, became part of the flamenco singing repertoire with a newfound richness and depth. Many people detect roots from Gregorian chants in ‘El Mellizo’s’ malagueña compositions. No matter how you look at it, he created a school for interpreting for this cante, and generations of singers, men and women alike, continued to develop it in the same spirit . There are two types: the malagueña doble and the chica.\nAs stated above, the creativity displayed by Enrique ‘El Mellizo’ marked a turning point in the history of flamenco. This is also the case with the tientos, a palo or musical form, which he transformed by adding a Roma musical touch, removing the folkloric association and creating a model that remains in the repertoire of today’s flamenco singers.\nIn the same way, Enrique modernised cantiñas from Cádiz and gave them a Roma twist in his own characteristic manner, making them slower, more majestic and rhythmic.\nLastly, we have the saeta, a form which ‘El Mellizo’ also modernised; here too he is a key figure in its progression to its current state. His contribution consisted of adding a flamenco touch to what had once been a popular liturgical song. In time it would disappear as such, making way for the new version to emerge. |
How do you count bats? First you need to figure out where bats are coming out. If it’s a bat house or bat condo, that’s easy. But other structures may have multiple areas for bats to exit. Look for signs like staining and guano (bat poop) to figure out where the bats are coming in and out.\nCome early! Set up and be ready for counting at least 30 minutes before sunset. Bats usually come out before it’s completely dark.\nTo count bats, you should position yourself near the roost with the night sky as a background whenever possible. DO NOT shine lights at the roost to count bats. This may prevent bats from exiting. It’s also a good idea to be quiet during bat emergence.\nNot all bats will leave the roost every night. You may still hear some squeaking from inside the roost but you can stop counting when the exit slows down and bats are only coming out occasionally. You may also notice some bats coming back in. That’s a good time to stop. Most emergences shouldn’t last more than 30 minutes to 1 hour.\nInterested in keeping track of your bats? Download our instructions, bat roost counting form and identification guide and get started.\n*The Georgia DNR Bat Roost Monitoring Citizen Science Project materials were adapted from materials developed by the by the PA Game Commission and the Wisconsin DNR.\nGeorgia DNR is looking for your help to monitor summer bat roosts across the state. This project involves counting bats exiting roosts at sunset just twice during each summer. Think you can help?\nBats in the belfry? What to do if you have bats in your house.\nIn winter 2006–2007, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation biologists began getting calls about bats flying erratically outside their hibernacula during the day. The bats were supposed to remain in the hibernation areas until spring and the insects that sustain them returned.\nGeorgia is home to 16 species of bats! Bats are a valuable and fascinating part of Georgia's natural heritage.\nInformation on conducting surveys and requirements for specific projects. |

Nestled in its own private valley and surrounded by rolling hills, Hidden Lake Ranch is a very special place. Located in scenic Lake County, California, the Ranch is home to the abundant wildlife of the region -- deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles, osprey, herons, egrets, otters, geese, ducks, rabbits, lynx and coyotes. Most importantly, the Ranch has a feeling of serenity and peacefulness that is entirely unique.\nThe pristine twenty (20) acre spring-fed Hidden Lake is exceptional in its beauty. The lake is abundant in all water life, including large frogs, huge turtles and prolific native bass. A smaller second lake, the Lily Lake, is shared with a neighboring property. It is called the Lily Lake because of the beautiful carpet of lilies that bloom each spring. The Lily Lake is a native breeding ground for wood ducks and, of course, the ever present bass.\nThe 202 acre ranch has one large pasture and two other smaller meadows ideal for farming, grazing and recreation. The soils of the pasture and meadows and abundant water make for ideal farmland and the property has the perfect soils and southern exposures for vineyards on surrounding high benches. There are miles of hiking and horse trails up and over the surrounding oak and madrone covered hills. A meandering creek runs through the property almost all year and an all-year artesian well feeds the irrigation of the main pasture.\nThe house, a remodeled farm structure from the turn of the century, sits on a knoll overlooking Hidden Lake. The house has an open floor plan downstairs, including a modern kitchen, living area and access to the large deck surrounding the house. Two upstairs bedrooms look out over the Lake. Landscaped beautifully with cedar decks under huge oak trees, with a koi pond and other amenities, the house echoes the magical and truly soothing atmosphere of Hidden Lake Ranch. A large boathouse sits on the edge of Hidden Lake. It has a refrigerator and bathroom to make even more comfortable the canoe and kayak trips out on the Lake.\nOn the main pasture is the picturesque old Hidden Lake Ranch barn, beloved by local artists. Closer to the house is a modern three stall barn with corrals, loafing shed, and tack room. Tool sheds, a large horse arena with attached round pen, a campsite, and and a stand-alone cookhouse for entertaining and picnics complete the improvements to the Ranch property.\nHidden Lake Ranch is located just six miles from Lakeport, California. Lakeport is on the shores of Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake wholly within the State of California. Clear Lake is a destination for tourists, waterskiers, catchers of fish and those just seeking to breath the freshest air in the entire state. |

There’s a lot of work to do, hockey wise, in the nation’s capital.

It’s also a good time to take stock of true contenders for the league’s major individual hardware, including Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly.\nThe money and fan interest is there, but the list of obstacles is formidable.

From the moment I opened my eyes that morning, my emotions were at war. I started the day fighting myself and the painful feelings I felt around my friends. I continued to suffer, eventually surrendering to the pain, and meeting it where it was. After reading an article from Loner Wolf co-creator Aletheia Luna about shadow work, I decided to meet my emotions where they were and observe where the resistance was coming from. I meditated in the car on my way to breakfast using my new focus.\nI began to practice in the car and a miracle happened. I could see the emotions and thoughts that I had desperately wanted to shift, wanted to change. It seemed now that I was ready to embrace the shadows of my mind and integrate the whole of my consciousness, (light and dark) as the meditation allowed me to see it. Instead of me grasping onto my desperate desire to find the truth and destroy the lies in my mind, I simply embraced exactly where and who I was in that moment. Suddenly I could see everything clearly because I wasn’t busy judging myself for my perception (embrace being) or trying to change who I am (release grasping). As my perception cleared the power of the thoughts and feelings lost their power.\nAs I got out of the car, I felt a huge weight lift off of my shoulders for the first time in a long time. I felt free. A feeling I still feel with me at this very moment. I realized that for people like me, (and I surmise with our current culture there are a lot of us) that there is a deep part of ourselves that believes we must change and we "must achieve". We believe deeply that what we are is not good enough. How we think, and feel is not good enough. That is a lie. We don't have to be anything other than who we are right now, and this is the funny thing, when we stop “grasping” and trying so hard, we can finally see ourselves in the mirror; and once we see the truth of who we are, change is inevitable. We don't change because we aren't good enough, we "change" because we are good enough. This change isn't against the fundamentals of who we are, it is an awakening of the person that we forgot was inside us all along. We are all we need to be already. All that is required of us is to blossom. One petal at a time. |
You are here: Home / News / Is a Smartphone Video Projector Possible?\nIs a Smartphone Video Projector Possible?\nAlps Electric has recently announced the world’s smallest aspherical glass lens measuring 1mm x 1mm. Typically, these lenses are used in high-capacity fiber optic communication networks to transmit light signals. But because of their miniature size and clarity, they may also allow for smartphones and other small portable devices to integrate video projection capabilities into their hardware design.\nA limiting factor so far to such integration has been heat and power – current video projector components generate a lot of heat and use a lot of power. iPhone and Droid smartphones pack a lot of punch but are not yet capable of producing the amount of power required to run a projector module for much time, or deal with the amount of heat that rapidly builds up.\nBut the Alps’ lens technology could start to change that. The recently announced Alps’ lens (the FLGS3) is not only tiny but also transmits light extremely efficiently. Technically speaking, it has a high coupling efficiency of 73% – 5% more efficient than previous lenses. At the end of the day, this improvement in efficiency means that less light is required to achieve the same projector brightness – and less light of course means less power required and less heat generated.\nWhether we actually see the integration of a video projector into a smartphone anytime soon remains to be seen. But certainly this innovation in lens design is bound to effect the size and battery life of dedicated miniature video projectors and other consumer devices. |

Of all the things described in William of Rubruck’s account of his travels through 13th-century Asia, perhaps none is so striking as the remarkably ornate fountain he encountered in the Mongol capital which — complete with silver fruit and an angelic automaton — flowed with various alcoholic drinks for the grandson of Genghis Khan and guests. Devon Field explores how this Silver Tree of Karakorum became a potent symbol, not only of the Mongol Empire’s imperial might, but also its downfall.\nDetail from an image of Möngke Khan’s fountain, based on the depiction, featured below, from Pierre de Bergeron’s Voyages faits principalement en Asie (1735) — Source.\nBy the time Friar William of Rubruck arrived at the camp of Möngke Khan in the last days of 1253, he had pushed his body to its breaking point. The trip from Acre had taken him by way of Constantinople, across the Black Sea, and then on a punishing overland journey featuring extreme cold, a demon-haunted pass, and little enough food that his travel-companion, Bartolomeo of Cremona, had been close to tears, exclaiming “It seems to me I shall never get anything to eat”.1 And then there had been the Mongols themselves. Passing into their territory was like passing “through one of the gates of hell”, and leaving their presence comparable to escaping “the midst of devils”.2 Safe to say that the Mongols seemed quite alien to this Flemish friar.\nWilliam grumbled at their (in his view) incurable greed, commented repeatedly on his distaste for the women’s noses, and spoke of the foolishness of their religion. Though in many ways a clever traveller and, despite this xenophobia, an at times astute observer, he was in other ways a fish out of water, even going about at first in bare feet on the frozen winter ground. But not everything was so unfamiliar, so strange to him.\nThere at the heart of the Mongol Empire, he found a surprisingly cosmopolitan scene comprised of Hungarians, Greeks, Armenians, Alans, Georgians, and more. In the capital of Karakorum, he found a “Saracen” quarter with its markets and a “Cathayan” one with its artisans; he found temples and mosques, and he found a church.3 He met a Christian from Damascus who represented the Ayyubid Sultan, a woman from Metz named Pacquette who had been captured while on business in Hungary, and the son of an Englishman named Basil. Most helpful to him during his stay was an artisan from Paris named Guillaume Boucher. This Parisian smith created several pieces which William saw — an altarpiece, a kind of mobile oratory, an iron to make communion wafers, and, perhaps his most significant mark left at Möngke’s capital, the Mongol khan’s wonderfully elaborate drinking fountain.\nNow the words “drinking fountain” might evoke high school hallways and awkwardly hunching over to bring your face to the faucet, but this was something else entirely. Crowned by a trumpet-wielding, angelic automaton, the main structure formed a magnificent silver tree, wrapped in silver serpents and complete with branches, leaves, and fruit. At its roots sat “four lions of silver, each with a conduit through it, and all belching forth white milk of mares.”4 Up in the branches, four pipes emerged to splash a different alcoholic beverage down to silver basins waiting below. There was grape wine, fermented mare’s milk, rice wine, and honey mead, all to be ready when the khan so desired. This so-called “drinking fountain” was, for all intents and purposes, a most convoluted and extravagant bar.\nMöngke Khan’s fountain, as depicted in Pierre de Bergeron’s Voyages faits principalement en Asie (1735) — Source.\nSadly, this curious creation, completed while William was at the camp of the Mongol khan, has not survived for us to admire. We are left with only the friar’s words to go on and, subsequently, with many questions. Was it as imagined in the eighteenth-century edition of geographer and poet Pierre de Bergeron’s work? Most visual representations since have been based on Bergeron’s, but did it really tower so high and appear so baroque? Was it even actually as William described? Have we correctly translated from his Gallicised Latin? Might his “lions” have been tigers or his “serpents” in fact dragons? How did it all work?\nA press a button, lean down, and sip affair it was not. Originally, bellows had been placed within the tree to pipe air through the angel’s trumpet whenever the khan called for a drink, but that hadn’t worked out. There was a flaw in the fountain. The bellows simply hadn’t been powerful enough, so in a slightly comedic twist, a man was placed in a space beneath the tree instead, a space which may or may not have been large enough not to be nightmarishly claustrophobic.\nWhen the call came, the man would blow, and the angel would raise the trumpet to its lips. The sound produced was loud enough to bring servants scurrying from the cavern outside the palace where drinks were stored. They would pour liquids into the tree’s roots that would quickly siphon up and pour out from above and into the basins. From there the drink would be collected by cup-bearers and delivered, in great style, to the khan and his guests.\nAn audience with Möngke, from Ata-Malik Juvayni’s Tarikh-i Jahangushay, 1438 — Source.\nIt was all quite unnecessary and inefficient. Simply carrying skins of milk and other beverages directly into the palace would have been quicker, with no pipes or angels required, but then, as William noted, it would be “unseemly to bring in there skins of milk and other drinks”, even common one might say.5 Basic function aside, the khan’s drinking fountain was a wonderfully grand, eye-catching piece. It had certainly caught the eye of William, who otherwise unfavourably compared the Mongol palace to the village of Saint-Denis.\nThe fountain’s possible religious meaning is somewhat difficult to parse between French creator and Mongol client (and through the veil of William’s report), but there are possible readings. The serpents and fruit, with an angel hanging above them all, are suggestive of the Tree of Knowledge, its four liquids the four rivers of Eden. And, indeed, the designer of the fountain was a Christian who was at times called upon to play the role of priest in his community. Yet these and other elements do each yield to other interpretations, ones rooted in Chinese symbology, in Mongol Tengriism, or in Buddhism. What Guillaume’s creation perhaps expressed most clearly was riches and imperial power.\nOne of the laundry list of items that bothered William about the Mongols was their incredible arrogance in assuming that he must be there to beg for peace, but they had every reason to expect it. Their empire was, arguably, at its peak, and envoys, kings, and sultans from far afield did indeed often come to them to do just that. They brought gifts, and the Mongol rulers would, in turn, put their tokens of imperial might on display.\nAn example of this was the costly chapel-tent made of fine scarlet cloth and featuring Christian imagery that King Louis IX had sent to the Mongols as part of a 1249 diplomatic mission. It and other items, including fragments of the cross, were intended as gifts, but they were reported to have been received as tribute, the chapel-tent an object to be displayed and to proclaim “See? Even the Franks, as distant as they are, submit to us.” The drinking fountain, pouring Persian grape wine and Chinese rice wine from the empire’s conquered territories, would have transmitted a similar message.\nConquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258, an illustration from Rashid-ad-Din’s Jami’ al-tawarikh (Compendium of Chronicles), early 14th century — Source.\nUnlike the chapel-tent, the fountain had been created on-site. It had not been carried there from afar, but of course, its creator had. He had been captured by the Mongol armies that had pierced central Europe and then withdrawn in 1242, and he had neither been taken nor survived at the center of the Mongol world by chance. His captors recognized the value of skilled craftsmen and, in their conquests, would set them aside and collect them. Just as they had the tremendous wealth of an empire, so too did they collect our Parisian metalworker, Guillaume Boucher.\nGuillaume created something wonderful for them, an imposing testament to the reach of the Mongol Empire in the craft of a metalworker plucked from the other end of the Eurasian landmass. He, with the help of an unknown number of unknown assistants, created a towering spectacle for the khan and his guests that dispensed liquids as if by magic, a seemingly endless torrent of drinks for their enjoyment.\nThey wouldn’t sit down to enjoy it throughout the year. It was more of a seasonal delight. Friar William reported Möngke’s court travelling in a circuit and only at times coming to the settled capital, to the palace, to the site of Guillaume’s work where they would feast and drink. And Mongol royalty did not do such things daintily.\nIn William’s narrative, the Mongols’ drinking habits form something of a low background hum against which events are set. He doesn’t linger over the topic, but it’s always there. At each audience, he noted the bench with drinks and goblets to the side. His first audience with Möngke had been encumbered by his interpreter’s drunkenness. Making the rounds of the royalty meant drinking with all of them, often a great deal to drink. Sometimes, as the khan spoke, William would count the number of times he drank before he finished. It was not, to say the least, a dry society, and health issues among the Mongol leadership were predictably prevalent.\nGuyuk Khan, cousin to Möngke, feasting; an illustration from Ata-Malik Juvayni’s Tarikh-i Jahangushay, 1438 — Source.\nMöngke’s uncle, Ogedei Khan, had problems with alcoholism recognized even within his social milieu, and he died from them despite the efforts of those around him to slow his drinking.6 Of Ogedei’s son Guyuk Khan’s death, it was sometimes said he had been killed or poisoned by a family member, but it’s often thought that he succumbed instead to his unhealthy lifestyle. A bit of a pattern was developing, and it was one that was going to haunt Genghis Khan’s dynasty for quite some time to come. It is striking then that the fountain, a symbol of wealth and empire, was also a symbol of something that so troubled that empire.\nFriar William’s time among the Mongols would ultimately prove a frustrating experience for him. The goals of his trip — whether you take them to be diplomatic on the part of King Louis IX or, as William would frequently claim, those of a simple missionary — were left largely unachieved. There was to be no Mongol military assistance coming Louis’ way, and William himself admits to having baptized a grand total of six souls. His travelling companion, fearful that he could never survive the return journey, remained behind in Karakorum with Guillaume, at least temporarily, his host.\nGuillaume seems to fall off the map after William’s account of their time together. Artifacts have been found which may or may not have been his creations, but little else is known of him or his fate. Presumably, he ended his life there at the center of what was then the most powerful empire on earth. Likely, he lived long enough to see it cease to be the center, as Möngke’s brother Kublai moved it in the direction of China and the vast empire broke up into khanates that were largely independent of one another and, increasingly, at war. For his part, Guillaume had succeeded in creating a grand symbol of a far-reaching empire and an impressive accessory to the khan’s courtly binging, an expression of wealth and power but also of the unhealthy habits that would continue to eat away at the Genghis dynasty.\n6.

It would be a terrible feeling to be awakened late at night to your baby being snatched from your arms and taken from you by armed men, which is exactly what happened to a Fort Lauderdale woman. Friday evening around 11 pm, a 2-month old baby was abducted from her Florida home during a home invasion.\nJoy Oglesby, a spokeswoman for Broward County Sheriff’s Office tells ABC News that the baby, Taraji Kemp, and her unidentified mother, as well as another child were all asleep in a room of their Fort Lauderdale home when intruders came inside and took the baby girl.
