Atlantis, like its namesake island, is a resort like no other
Over the years, I have kissed a lot of things in my quest for a good story — Ireland's Blarney Stone; my luck goodbye in Las Vegas and shipboard casinos; terra firma after returning wobbly-kneed from the Sydney Harbor Bridge climb. But nothing I've ever kissed in the line of duty has given me as much pleasure as smacking lips with Katrina, a 6-year-old dolphin at Atlantis Resort's Dolphin Cay.
Katrina's name is an homage to her mother, one of 16 dolphins rescued by the resort from the Gulfport, Miss., Oceanarium after Hurricane Katrina demolished the building, sending its residents into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Today, Katrina and her mother Sheree are both part of the Dolphin Experience here at Atlantis. Visitors, after being briefed on what is and isn't polite behavior around the aquatic mammals, can give them high-fives, rub their bellies and, yes, even kiss them.
Casual to classy
The fabled island of Atlantis was first mentioned by Plato in an allegorical work describing its attack on Athens, the philosopher's ideal state. In the work, "Timaeus," the angry gods punished Atlantis for its hubris by submerging it in the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1998, the gods finally relented and Atlantis re-emerged on the other side of the Atlantic in the form of an ocean-themed resort combining six hotels, 21 restaurants, 19 bars, 11 pools (plus miles of dazzling white beach), casino, shopping, and an assortment of activities ranging from tubing on a man-made river to kissing Katrina and her kin.
All of this surrounds the piece de resistance — a 141-acre waterscape of pools and palms, lagoons and lush tropical foliage. It's safe to say that Atlantis, like its namesake island, has an identity like no other.
Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the resort is The Dig, an architectural rendering of the submerged continent of Atlantis. Located just off the main lobby of the Royal Tower, the Dig is a series of maze-like pathways lined by glass-walled aquariums featuring marine life.
That marine life ranges from the fearsome (six-foot moray eels, piranhas, poisonous jellyfish) to the benign (starfish, seahorses and black-and-yellow clownfish), all showcased against a backdrop of reconstructed temple columns, cenotes, and colorful pottery and statues.
I found myself coming here every day to see the shimmering aquaria, and decided my favorite time was at night when I frequently had it all to myself.
On my only previous visit to Atlantis a few years back, I was a bit of a daredevil — trying several of the thrill-a-minute water experiences, the most thrilling of which was tubing through a dark cavern and ending up in a tank filled with hammerhead and Caribbean reef sharks. It really wasn't as dangerous as it sounds since I was actually encased in a glass cylinder that prevented me from being chum for the circling sharks. Still, it is a bit unnerving to come out of inky blackness and see sharks and barracudas swimming just inches away.
This time I decided on more sedentary pursuits. First up was a treatment at the resort's Mandara Spa. The spa building resembles a Balinese temple (not surprising, as the company was founded in Bali) with gorgeous water and plant-filled public spaces and 32 treatment rooms.
The name Mandara comes from an ancient legend about the gods' quest to find a special elixir that promises immortality and eternal youth. I'm not sure about the immortality part, but their line of Elemis products and treatments that combine the techniques of Asia with natural fruits, spices and minerals from the Bahamas go a long way to making one feel rejuvenated and youthful.
If there's one thing I love as much as a good spa treatment, it's a good meal, and that's easy to find at Atlantis. My first evening's dining adventure was at Bimini Road. This colorful, casual spot in the Marina Village is where, as they like to say, you can "savor the flavor of Caribbean life."
Seafood is the star attraction, and regardless of what else you order, try the island staple, conch chowder. (I would highly recommend the pineapple bread pudding as well.)
If I started out casual, I ended up classy — at Café Martinique. James Bond fans might recognize it from its cameo in the 1965 film "Thunderball." The luxury and ambience remains, but international chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has put his own stamp on the restaurant. Diners enjoy the classic French menu in a setting that features a dramatic mahogany staircase and etched-glass windows.
During dinner, a parade of Junkanoo carnival dancers in elaborate attire wend their way past the large glass windows. Letting my imagination take flight, I decided the man in the black eye patch bore more than a passing resemblance to Emilio Largo, Bond's "Spectre" nemesis.
As much as I enjoyed Bimini Road and Café Martinique, my favorite dining experience was at 77° West, the resort's newest fine-dining restaurant. The sophisticated setting and service may be reminiscent of Manhattan, but the menu is a compelling fusion of South American and Caribbean cuisine. Bahamian cracked lobster is a specialty of the house, as is duck and chorizo empanadas and for dessert, dulce de leche cheesecake.
As for accommodations, many visitors opt for the Royal Tower due to its proximity to all the action — the Dig, casino and arcade of shops and restaurants. However, if you are looking for something quieter and oh-so-exclusive, book a suite at The Cove.
From the open-air lobby cooled by island breezes to the stellar service to the adults-only stretch of beach, The Cove can only be described in superlatives.
A day in Nassau
With everything available at Atlantis, it's tempting not to stray off the property. However, it would be a shame not to spend at least a day in Nassau, just across the causeway.
If your time is limited, skip Bay Street. You will miss the rows of luxury and duty-free shops, but you will also miss the influx of cruise ship passengers who make a leisurely stroll on the street next to impossible.
I started off my day with an excursion to John Watling's, a craft distillery which provides an excellent way to learn about the production of rum, the Bahamas' signature spirit.
It's on the Buena Vista Estate, built for King George III's counsel to the Bahamas (although the distillery itself was named for a less savory character — John Watling was a notorious 17th-century British buccaneer).
The free daily tour takes in the production area, shop and tavern where visitors indulge in rum tastings and hear tales of two ghosts that allegedly roam the estate.
After fueling myself with a Goombay Smash, suggested by Shawn the barman, I took a short walk to Graycliff for a leisurely lunch. Nowhere is the romance of old Nassau as alive as it is here. Built in 1740 by a pirate (are you sensing a theme here — that piracy paid handsomely in the Bahamas?), it is today a combination boutique hotel and elegant restaurant, and also has a chocolate shop, cigar bar and museum on the premises.
I started with a tour of the impressive wine cellar, said to be the third largest private collection in the world with 275,000 bottles, 60 percent of which are French. One shelf alone contains wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux valued at more than a million dollars. Just for the record, the cellar also holds the oldest registered bottle of wine in the world (1727) — a German dessert wine.
I will say the aftereffects of my Goombay Smash made me more than usually cautious as I didn't want to do any smashing of my own — not with wines priced at six and seven figures.
I opted for a considerably less pricey vintage to go with my excellent lunch of the ubiquitous conch chowder, Bahamian smothered grouper with rice and peas and guava duff, a local specialty that resembles a jelly roll, served with rum sauce and whipped cream.
After a satisfying day, I was ready to return to Atlantis, confident that it hadn't slipped back into the sea.

Sleep stages are divided into non–rapid eye movement (non-REM) and
rapid eye movement (REM).
Non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep has 3 stages:
Rapid eye movement sleep is deeper than non-REM sleep. During REM
You do most of your dreaming during REM sleep. But your brain paralyzes your muscles so you do not act out the dreams.
During sleep, a person usually progresses through the 3 stages of
non-REM sleep before entering REM sleep. This takes about 1 to 2 hours
after falling asleep. The cycle is repeated three to four times each night. And adult spends more time in NREM sleep than in REM sleep. An infant usually spends about half of the sleeping time in NREM and half in REM stages.

In recent weeks, Al Perry, a senior executive at Paramount Pictures, has toured the East Coast speaking at law schools. He has struggled to repair Hollywood's battered image and convince skeptical audiences of the need for more aggressive copyright enforcement.
The plan for the tour emerged in the wake of January's collapse of the Stop Online Piracy Act. Perry sent letters to numerous law schools. "We at Paramount have been humbled by the strong public opposition" to SOPA, he wrote. Admitting that Paramount has "much to learn," he sought an opportunity to share Paramount's perspective and hear what students and faculty had to say.
The tour is now underway. Perry visited Yale Law School on March 27, Brooklyn Law School on Tuesday, and the University of Virginia Law School on Wednesday. Sources tell Ars that Perry made roughly the same remarks at all three events. We have the most information about Perry's Yale talk, thanks to detailed notes provided by Margot Kaminski of Yale's Information Society Project.
Hollywood's "rogue site" problem
Perry's remarks focused on the shift from peer-to-peer file-sharing to file-sharing websites. "Cyberlockers" such as Megaupload are one example. But Perry also pointed to MovieBerry as an example of an infringing site that looks legitimate to many consumers and has even convinced legitimate companies to buy advertising.
Perry conceded that "cyberlocker" sites were not inherently illegal, but he said sites like Megaupload have crossed the line because their business model was supported by "not much else other than copyright infringement." He claimed that the top five cyberlockers get tens of billions of page views per year, generating millions of dollars in profits.
Perry emphasized the large number of jobs supported by Hollywood movies. Hollywood employs more than just actors and directors, he said. "We have drivers, florists, people moving things around." Yet thanks to online file-sharing, he claimed, Hollywood is making fewer movies, and spending less on each one. That means fewer jobs.
Perry stressed the need for additional legislation to crack down on "rogue sites." He argued that the new domain seizure powers created by the 2008 Pro-IP Act were insufficient to deal with the problem. And he denounced the OPEN Act, sometimes touted as a SOPA alternative, as "unworkable."
At the Brooklyn event, Perry's comments were followed by a rebuttal from Brooklyn Law School Professor Jason Mazzone, who pointed out that Perry's remarks had completely ignored limitations on copyright such as fair use. According to an account by Mazzone's colleague Derek Bambauer, Perry responded by saying that Paramount "wants to give fair use 'a wide berth,' and that their core concerns are about full downloads of their films, not uses of clips and such." But he conceded that SOPA had not made such allowances for fair use.
At the University of Virginia, Perry's remarks were followed by a rebuttal by Art Brodsky of Public Knowledge, who argued that Hollywood's failing profits had less to do with Internet file-sharing than with the industry's failure to produce good movies and come up with innovative business models.
Tough crowds
A source described the Yale audience as "very hostile" to Perry's arguments. When audience members pressed Perry on the free speech implications of SOPA-style copyright enforcement, Perry denied that there were any. Copyright infringement, he said, was "theft plain and simple," and bills like SOPA simply didn't raise First Amendment concerns.
The Yale audience also gave Perry a hard time about copyright terms; it now takes 70 years after an author's death for a work to fall into the public domain. One audience member pressed Perry on whether such a long term was necessary, asking whether Paramount could accept a shorter copyright term. Perry dodged the question, saying he was "not here to address that."
"Does it make you uncomfortable that you can't say yes?" asked another student.
Bambauer described the Brooklyn audience as "thoughtful and civil," but he said that students "evinced skepticism about the movie industry's good faith and bona fides."
The atmosphere at Virginia was relatively polite. Alan Pate, a third-year law student at Virginia, told Ars that "no one really challenged Perry that much."
When one Virginia student pressed Perry on his claim that fewer movies were being produced, Perry conceded that his numbers were limited to the major studios. He conceded that he wasn't suggesting movie production was declining overall. But he insisted that the new, independent movies were of lower quality than the big-budget films produced by the major studios.
Pate said Perry and Brodsky's arguments didn't change his views on copyright law. "It was nice to see the arguments laid out by both sides," he said. "But it didn't really change anything. My takeaway was that right now, there are no clear answers."
But another Virginia attendee expressed surprise that Perry hadn't made more effort to meet skeptical audiences halfway. "You don't get unlimited chances to address people," the source said. By making essentially the same arguments the studios had made before the SOPA debacle, the source told us, Perry missed an opportunity to persuade the next generation of lawyers.

Rockies re-sign Podsednik on minor-league deal
Scott Podsednik showed that he could stay healthy and proved he could be happy in a reserve role. As a result, the Rockies re-signed the center fielder on Wednesday to provide outfield depth and speed at the top of the lineup following the departure of Willy Taveras.
Podsednik hit .253 in 93 games last season, while stealing 12 bases. Only Clint Barmes swiped more (13) among returning players.
Other players invited to camp on minor-league deals include pitcher Matt Belisle, former Giants farmhand Dan Ortmeier, catcher Edwin Bellorin and pitcher Cedrick Bowers.

Frequent eye exams are important, regardless of your age or physical health. During a complete eye exam, your optometrist does more than determine your prescription for contact lenses or eyeglasses. He or she will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, evaluate how your eyes work together and assess your eyes as an indicator of overall health.
There are many reasons you should have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Adults should have their eyes tested to keep their prescriptions current and to check for early signs of eye disease. Eye exams for children play an important role in ensuring normal vision development and academic achievement. Children with undetected vision problems often exhibit trouble with schoolwork. Many times, children do not complain of vision problems, because they don't know what "normal" vision looks like. If your child is struggling with school work, it is a good idea to have his or her vision tested to rule out any visual impairment.
Another reason for regular checkups is watery eyes. Many do not see watery eyes as a major issue, but experiencing this for a prolonged period of time could be a sign of an underlying condition. Oftentimes, watery eyes are caused by poor indoor air quality resulting from airborne allergens. Fortunately, using the proper indoor air furnace filters can help reduce the airborne allergens that cause watery eyes and improve your overall air quality.
The Filters Fast Trion Air Bear is a compatible AC filter and features a MERV 11 rating. This will help improve allergies that cause watery eyes, itchy throat and sneezing. This filter reduces pollen, dust and other allergens from your indoor air.
The best way to test what is in your indoor air is to use the Indoor Air Quality Test Kit. This will help you discover the issues with your indoor air quality so you will be able to find a solution that fits your needs. To use this product, stick the one-time-use strip near or in your return air duct. Then, place the Bio-Scan 400 sample in the provided manila envelope. Attach postage and mail the envelope to the specified address. Your test results will be emailed to you within 5 days after the lab receives your sample. Once you get your test results back, Filtersfast.com will be able to help you choose the right products to suit your air quality needs.
August is Family Eye Care Month, so this would be a great time to make sure you and your family are not neglecting eye exams. Frequent eye exams will help you see clearly.

2015-06-23 - We first met blogger and photographer Madelon (36) AKA MadeByLon last year when she showed us her favourite Amsterdam hotspots. Now she has made the move to L.A. where she's broadening her horizon with her husband Bart (36), son Sylvester (5), and daughter Reva (2). Join us and see how she's adapting to the coastal life.
You have made a name for yourself as Madebylon and have over 50,000 followers on Instagram alone. A year ago you started a blog with a strong visual appeal together with Arnhem-based mother of one, Vie. How did you two meet?
"Vie and I know each other through Instagram. We hit it off immediately, met a few times and talked a lot through WhatsApp (a social media messaging platform ed.), especially just after I'd moved to L.A. We wanted to have fun and stay connected. We'd both thought about blogging for some time, so when we started talking about it, THE DOOR IN THE WALL was born just 4 weeks later!"
What is the blog about?
"We talk about everything that comes to mind, but yes, we are mothers so that is also one of the topics. Aside from that we both love beautiful photos. And having a laugh. It's really a positive, honest, easy-on-the-eye kind of blog about life (with children)."
Tell us why the initial move to Los Angeles?
Madelon: "My husband works for an international sports brand and they offered him a job here in their head offices. He always talked about wanting to work abroad for a while so that decision was easily made."
What fills your days (apart from your kids of course)?
"They do take up a lot of my time! But I also have a blog I'm busy with, and I photograph a lot, both professionally and for pleasure."
Pictured above: The Storksak+Bugaboo bag in leather
What are some major differences between Amsterdam and L.A. life?
"Weather and distance are major players. I love the fact that it doesn't rain as much here in L.A., as in Amsterdam, but I miss getting around by bike. Also L.A. doesn't have a real city centre, like most cities in Europe do. There are so many nice places to go, to shop, to eat, but they are all so far apart. Having a car is an absolute must."
How do you think life is different for your kids growing up in L.A. compared to Amsterdam?
"It's more laid back, it's more outdoorsy and it's way more protected. I have to get used to that. Coming from a small country where children play outside, go to school on their bikes on their own when they are a little older and not having to watch them like a hawk when you're out is very different.How do your kids like growing up in L.A.?
They like it! They are still small so prefer to be around us and outside. Sylvester does miss his friends and both miss their family.
So they remember the Netherlands?
Sylvester does! He was almost 5 when we left, so he remembers a lot. He loves to live in the land of the superheroes, so he's doing fine. Sometimes, out of nowhere he'll start asking things about his old school, or remember something from the city we lived. Reva only remembers people.
I documented our move on Instagram and when we were settled I made little books from all the photos of the months passed. They are theirs and they can grab and look at them whenever they feel like it. And they do.
Stay tuned to the Bugaboo Journal to hear from the other half of The Door in the Wall, Vie. In the meantime, check out Madelon's Amsterdam hotspots here.

SPI Final Report - July 2014 (632.65 kB)
The "Smart Policing Initiative" (SPI) grant program seeks to build upon data-driven, evidence-based policing by encouraging state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to develop effective, economical, and innovative responses to precipitous or extraordinary increases in crime, or in a type or types of crime within their jurisdictions. Law enforcement agencies designated as SPI Sites work to devise or modify solutions to crimes and/or problems they face in their communities. Working in collaboration with community research partners, the agencies collect and analyze data on teh effectiveness of their methods, which will then be evaluated and published for review by other agencies confronted with similar problems.
This program is managed and funded through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.
In April 2011, the Pullman Police Department submitted a grant application to participate in Phase III of the Smart Policing Initiative program. The Pullman Police Department's application contained a proposal to launch a Safety Camera Initiative (SCI) Project in Pullman, Washington to install a network of safety cameras in identified target high-crime area in conjunction with Netmotion technology to provide streaming live camera feeds to police officers at the police station and in their patrol units. The goal of the SCI Project is to provide police officers with the evidence-based smart policing tools needed to more effectively deter, detect, and apprehend criminals, with a special emphasis on violent crimes and public disorder in Pullman's high-density/high-crime district of College Hill.
In September 2011, the Pullman Police Department received notification that it was selected as one of sixteen (16) projects nationwide for the 2011-2013 grant cycle.
The Pullman Police Department hopes to accomplish the following goals with implementation of the SCI Project:
- deter criminal behavior in the target area,
- increase investigation into previously unreported or under reported crimes, and
- increase police clearance rates of reported crimes.
The grant proposes to address violent crimes and neighborhood disorders through the use of video cameras placed at public locations where high frequencies of those types of incidents occur. Live video feed will be transmitted to the police station and police cars, and video will be recorded for use in criminal investigations and prosecutions. The camera locations will be determined through research and analysis conducted by the project research partner, Washington State University's Division of Governmental Studies and Services. Initial research indicates that the Adams Mall area of College Hill is a location where the cameras could have a positive impact, although other locations may also be identified.

Stocks: Dow ends down 313 points after Obama win
NEW YORK — Stocks ended sharply lower Wednesday, one day after the re-election of President Obama. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down about 313 points, or 2.4%.
Investor reaction is decidedly negative over the defeat of the more business-friendly Mitt Romney and the continued gridlock in Congress that makes it tough for lawmakers to avert a fiscal policy crisis by year-end.
The benchmark Dow remains below the psychologically significant 13,000, not seen since Aug. 3. The Standard & Poor's 500 index and Nasdaq composite index ended down 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively, with stocks in nearly every industry lower.
DON'T PANIC:Sell for good reasons, like these
TRACK STOCKS:Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
The Dow, which settled at 12,933, had its lowest close since Aug. 2; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had their lowest closes since Aug. 6.
Wall Street pros said negative sentiment was amplified Wednesday after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi expressed concerns ahead of the U.S. market open about the outlook for Europe's economies, especially Germany.
Others said much of the sell-off is coming from computerized trading programs, which trigger huge sell-offs of stocks at pre-set prices hit versus investors making decisions on the spot about what they think of a stock's outlook. One exception: Apple (AAPL) shares closed at $558.13, off 3.8% Wednesday. That puts the computer and gadget maker in correction territory, which is still about off 20% from its September intraday high $705.07 a share.
Investors are focusing on what Obama and Congress will do to avert the looming so-called "fiscal cliff." The biggest fear is Washington's inability to compromise in a lame-duck session over a host of mandated budget cuts and tax cut expirations set to kick in Jan. 1. Fears are that lack of a deal will roil markets and derail the economic recovery.
Steven Rattner, a former adviser to the Obama administration and a longtime investment banker, told CNBC in an interview that he couldn't "rule out going over the cliff," putting at zero the odds that the president and Congress could forge a comprehensive fiscal compromise before year-end.
"The chances of going off the cliff probably just increased," says Ed Yardeni, chief investment strategist at Yardeni Research.
It almost certainly will be a struggle just after the hard-fought Obama win since a deeply divided Congress remains at a virtual status. Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives, which has final say over budget issues. In the Senate, Democrats still have a slim majority, altered a bit by picking up two seats.
Given that the same political players remain to negotiate a deal, President Obama, in his acceptance speech, stressed the need for bipartisanship. One major source of disagreement is that Obama wants to boost government coffers by taxing the rich. Republicans vehemently oppose that approach. Some Wall Street pros, including Yardeni, believe Obama's win will make negotiations more difficult.
Investors will be closely watching statements from top leaders of both political parties related to the fiscal cliff, notes Tina Fordham, a global strategist at Citigroup. "Their signals matter most," she says.
"The re-elected president must immediately act to avoid the fiscal cliff," says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. "Massive negotiations lie ahead."
The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is 1.63%, lower than Tuesday's 1.7%. The dollar closed stronger against the euro, which dipped 0.3% to $1.2768, probably more a reflection of ongoing worries about the debt crisis in Europe. Greece faces its toughest vote yet Wednesday on passing $17.3 billion more in austerity measures to qualify for more bailout funding or default on millions of dollars in loans. The dollar did strengthen slightly, 0.3%, against the yen.
Crude oil prices plunged 4.5% to $84.72 Wednesday on worries of oversupply amid weak global demand. Gold prices had been up as much as 2% overnight as investors debated whether an Obama win would affect inflation. But the gains were erased Wednesday. Gold closed down $4.70 cents at $1,723.90.
Overseas, London's FTSE 100 closed down 1.6% to 5,791.63, France's CAC 40 index finished 2% lower at 3,409.59, and Germany's DAX 30 index ended the day 2% lower to 2,258.59. Many analysts said Europe's markets were pushed down by Draghi's remarks Wednesday about the negative outlook for the eurozone, particularly in Germany, the engine of Europe's economy. In Asia, markets ended the day mixed with no major stock index moves.
In morning trading, the Dow had been down 369 points, raising fears that it would take its biggest one-day point drop in a year. The index lost 389.24 points on Nov. 9, 2011, on eurozone debt fears. The blue-chip average's day-after drop so far puts it on pace for its fifth-worst one-day decline following a Presidential Election Day, according to Bespoke
Investment Group. The worst fall was after Obama's first White House win in November 2008, when stocks ended more than 5% lower.
Only when a deal is forged on tax reform, entitlements and deficit reduction, will investors gain the level of clarity needed to deliver a jolt of confidence to markets, says David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial.
"Investors and companies need to know the rules of the game, whether those rules are to their liking or not," says Joy. "A (fiscal cliff) deal is more important than the fact that the election is over."
"After yesterday's 133-point Dow rally, it is not surprising that we are giving some back because the general perception on Wall Street was that a Romney victory would have been better for markets," says Dan McMahon, director of equity trading at Raymond James. "People will have a lot of concerns about the fiscal cliff (getting resolved) and will again question the economic policies and fiscal prudence of the Obama administration."

Published at Friday, 15 December 2017. Kitchen. By Fayette Lucas.
Add a Sink or Two: Adding kitchen appliances such as a sink to your new kitchen island will give it even more functionality and also serve as a gathering point when entertaining. A sink boosts the usability of any kitchen island by giving you another place to rinse off food and wash dishes. A sink can also be great when entertaining, so your guests can take part in the preparation of the meal without cluttering up your existing counter space around the oven and refrigerator.
Poplar: Good economical choice for painted kitchen. Difficult to stain due to natural green undertones. Softer end of the hardwood spectrum, less durable than a maple, oak, and a little softer than alder. For the white French country style kitchen, painted poplar will give you the same look as maple at a lower cost, but it will not resist nicks. Typical used for high end decorative painted trim such as white wainscoting and crown moldings in tradition and French country kitchens.
Pendant lightings are typically used as task lighting above a kitchen island or peninsula. They serve as a perfect design element that accentuates the tone of your kitchen. Under mount lighting is a nice way to add luminosity to areas otherwise void in your kitchen. They're a great way to accent your kitchen's features such as a special tile backsplash or glassware.

In Newtown, Sunday services honor victims of tragedy
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Dealing with the pain of the school shooting that claimed 28 lives will take faith, support and joyous Christmas celebrations, church leaders said at the first Sunday services held since the tragedy.
At places of worship around town, people gathered in pews, crying, kneeling and hugging each other through services that focused on remembering the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, uniting the community, celebrating the meaning of Christmas and preventing similar disasters.
Yet even this beleaguered town's day of worship provided a moment of fear when congregants at St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church fled the building, saying they were told there was a bomb threat. Police with guns drawn surrounded the church. No injuries were reported, but the church canceled all events for the day.
STORY:No danger at Conn. church after threat
Earlier in the day, services at St. Rose, much like other places of worship in the area, were focused on the tragedy.
"All the world's eyes are fixated on us, and they must see the faith that keeps us alive," the Rev. Peter Cameron told more than 300 people who packed the pews at St. Rose. "The certainty of joy is that evil does not have the last word, that love wins. The most reasonable thing we can do is live that love in faith."
MORE:Victims shared love of life, learning
LIST:Names of school shooting victims
IN DEPTH:Latest developments in shooting, aftermath
On Friday, police say, Adam Lanza killed his mother at home, shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 children and six adults before committing suicide.
Throughout Sunday's Mass, Cameron and other clergymen offered prayers for the victims and urged those gathered to take special care to support those around them. Soon after the Mass began, Cameron announced that the husband of one of the teachers killed was present at the service. He asked parishioners to pray for the man and the children he must now raise alone.
Letters of support from several nearby archdioceses were read aloud, and a message from Pope Benedict XVI expressed "his heartfelt grief and the assurance of his closeness in prayer to the victims and their families, and to all those affected by the shocking event."
Cameron said he is still struggling to understand how the gunman could have been so lost without anyone knowing.
"All of us have to be deeply united and pay attention to those who are hurting," he said. "We have lost those that we love but we know they are living forever. St. Rose now has saints in heaven."
He added that while the holidays will be tough to endure, people should focus on the meaning of Christmas. "We need Christmas more than ever," Cameron said, adding that Jesus' presence would aid the community.
Monsignor Robert Weiss, who has been counseling people since Friday, later asked parishioners to pray for the church's priests who must lead several funeral services in the coming days.
Weiss also made an announcement that brought many, including himself, to tears: The church is looking for more volunteers for its Christmas pageant. A young girl who was supposed to be an angel in the pageant was among those killed.
During religious education classes at Congregation Adath Israel, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren came to speak to older children, synagogue president Andrew Paley said. Oren spoke to children about how Israelis cope with loss from acts of violence, Paley said.
Noah Pozner, the youngest student killed and the only Jewish child, will be buried Monday in Fairfield. The family are former members of the 100-member congregation, Paley said.
"As a synagogue, we mourn the loss of Noah. They are former members of ours, but once a member always a member. Our rabbi is with the family now consoling them and helping them plan. They're very emotional, as you can imagine.''
A saddened, tearful congregation at Christ The King Lutheran Church was uplifted this morning by children performing their annual Christmas pageant.
Smiles broke out on faces of some of the more than 200 worshipers as the children sang Silent Night and Hark The Herald Angels Sing, and nearly everyone laughed when Pastor Rob Morris made humorous remarks about their favorite Christmas songs.
Throughout the service and a discussion afterward about the school shootings, Morris frequently had to reach for tissues to wipe away tears. It's been an extremely difficult time for the young pastor who, for the past two days, has tried to comfort the family of 6-year-old shooting victim Charlotte Bacon.
Morris said he also provided guidance to the family of another victim, 6-year-old Jack Pinto. Pinto had been baptized, and "I assured them that Jack would be saved," Morris said.
More than 300 people packed the Newtown Congregational Church as Rev. Matthew Crebbin urged parishioners to embrace each other and the community to alleviate pain.
"We need now more than ever to remind ourselves that we are one community," Crebbin said at the start of a 90-minute service that was punctuated by the sounds of sniffling from the pews. Many wiped their eyes throughout the service and clutched each other at the end.
"We feel the suffering this day because we love, because we love those children who were lost," Crebbin said. "That is the heartbreaking news. The love which causes our hearts to break is the love that helps us heal."
"Because God gives us freedom, some of us do ugly things, and we cannot be protected from them," Crebbin said. "But God gives us maximum support. That doesn't solve everything in this moment. It will only happen as we could that love and care for each other."
Attendance was roughly double the normal turnout, and included Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who was recently elected to the Senate, and people such as Diane Lauricella of nearby Norwalk, who was visiting her mother in Newtown. "I wanted to be in a house of faith because it's a time of so much stress and so many questions."
At Newtown United Methodist Church, parishioners were counseled to rely on the support of friends, family, fellow church members — and even strangers — during this dark time.
The Rev. Mel Kawakami began the service by addressing the grief and broken-heartedness that is pervasive in the Newtown community.
He spoke of forgiveness for those who've committed terrible crimes such as killing children. But he also admitted that he personally is still working on getting to that emotional state.
Kawakami, the senior pastor, spoke of the incredible sadness those in this area feel. Yet, he added that the deep capacity humans have for such sorrow also means having a large capacity for better feelings such as care and love.
Today, Gaudete Sunday, would normally be a joyous time in anticipation of Advent Sunday and Christmas, he said. But he said it is OK to shed tears and to express outrage at evil.
"Where is the joy, oh God? There is no joy today. Today is a day of remembrance, grief. Now is a time for tears," Kawakami said. "I can only remind you that the Bible is filled with tears."
The Rev. Martin McLee, the Methodist bishop for Newtown who came to today's service to offer his support, also emphasized the importance of leaning on others. He advised grievers to take their time with the mourning, and to do what is right for them. "Nobody can tell you when to stop the tears," he said.
When it was time for the sermon at Trinity Episcopal Church, priest Kathleen Adams-Shepherd headed not to the pulpit but to the church's center aisle. "I just have this longing to be here, with you,'' she said.
Two children who were killed Friday will be memorialized at Trinity this week. Ben Wheeler, whose family attends the church, and Madeleine Hsu, whose family did not belong to a local church, Adams-Shepherd said.
"Every one of those precious lives is being held in the greatest love that could possibly be,'' she said.
To help families who never expected to have to bury their young children, the church has received offers of cemetery plots and funeral services are being donated, Adams-Shepherd said.
She asked the congregation to hold on to glimmers of faith in the face of sorrow. "To lose this faith is for darkness to win. From what I have seen this weekend, darkness has not won.''
Members of the congregation who read Scripture and led prayers did so through tears. Adams-Shepherd paused her sermon for a moment for everyone to hug each other.
"God wrestles goodness and life and hope out of the darkest moments,' she said. "Try to see just a pinpoint of light, if you can,'' she said. Advent and Hanukkah are seasons of hope, she said. "Our children need this season to be what it should be. … Jesus will come, no matter what. And so will Santa. Amen.''

Worcester State sophomore 1B Rob MacDonald, a Waltham native, drove in four runs today helping Lancer head coach Dr. Dirk Baker his 400th career victory. Baker, in his 18th season, now owns a 400-264-1 record, with winning seasons in 12 of his previous 17 campaigns.
MacDonald reached base in four of his five plate appearances, driving in runs with three of them. He had an RBI single in the top of the first, was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth and had a two-run single in the eighth, giving the Lancers some breathing room after the Judges had cut a five-run deficit to 6-4 two inning earlier.
WSU also had three-hit performances from sophomore RF Zach George (Attleboro, Mass./Attleboro), who scored three runs, and rookie SS Dennis Duplessis (Marlboro, Mass./Marlboro), who had a run and an RBI. Junior DH Joe Carlier (Rockland, Mass./Rockland) drove home two runs with a first-inning groundout and a single in the eighth inning.
Brandeis managed just two hits through the first five innings against WSU starter Cody Osburn (Sacramento, Calif./Gilmour Acad.), both by junior 3B Dominic Schwartz (San Francisco, Calif./Lowell). Schwartz singled in the first and doubled in the third, when he scored on successive wild pitches.
After the Lancers scored a pair of unearned runs in the top of the fourth to make it a 6-1 game, Brandeis looked to get back into the contest in the bottom of the sixth. After a pair of walks, senior LF Dylan Britton (Poughquag, N.Y./Arlington), in his first game of the season in the field, singled up the middle to drive in one run. Sophomore SS Brian Allen (Salem, N.H./Central Catholic School) followed with a single to third base that plated two more runs thanks to a throwing error, but the Judges were unable to do any further damage. WSU then got those runs back in the top of the eighth. Lancer sophomore Jared Kuzio (Franklin, Mass./Franklin) finished off the contest with three strong inning of relief, allowing four hits and one unearned run, inducing a pair of double plays in his stint.
Osborne got the win, improving to 2-0 with six innings of four-hit ball, though he did walk six. He also fanned five and allowed four runs (two earned). Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) suffered the loss, falling to 0-5 allowing 10 hits and six runs (four earned) in four innings of work.
Brandeis is off until Saturday, when they host WPI for a doubleheader at noon. Worcester State hosts local rival Becker College tomorrow at 4 p.m.

Earl Bennett wore his orange cleats again on "Monday Night Football." In one of the most predictable stories of the year, the NFL again fined him for it.
The Chicago Bears wide receiver told ESPNChicago.com on Thursday that he was fined $10,500 for wearing the cleats. He was docked twice for doing the same thing last year because the league ruled it was a violation of its uniform policy.
Bennett said wearing the cleats this year wasn't planned ahead of time.
"It actually came about when I walked in the locker room (before the game), and because I had them in my bag, and I wasn't sure if I was going to wear them," Bennett said. "Then Brandon Marshall was like, 'Let's wear them.' So I just put them on. I probably wouldn't have worn them if he wouldn't have agreed to it."
There's a strong chance Marshall also was fined, although that hasn't been confirmed.
Last year, Bennett wore the cleats in two consecutive games. The NFL threatened to eject him and give the Bears a penalty if he did it a third time in a row. So, uh, we guess Bennett has one game to work with if he's feeling orange again this week against the Carolina Panthers.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Spanish train driver 'was on the phone at time of crash'
The driver of the train that derailed in northwestern Spain last week, killing 79 people, was talking on the phone with state train operator Renfe at the time of the accident, a court said after analysing the train's data recording devices.
The initial reading of the so-called black boxes said driver Francisco Garzon received a call from Renfe minutes before the accident to discuss the path to Ferrol, the final destination for the high-speed train that departed from Madrid on Wednesday with 218 passengers aboard.
The court investigating the case said that by the conversation and background noise picked up on the black boxes, the driver appeared to be consulting a map or some kind of paper document while on the phone with Renfe staff.
The train was travelling at 192 km (120 miles) per hour in the minutes before it derailed in a curve where speed is limited at 80 km per hour, according to the two black boxes, which are actually orange in colour and located at the front and the back of the train.
The eight-carriage train slowed to 153 km per hour at the time of the crash after a brake was activated seconds before.
Garzon, 52, admitted in a closed-door hearing on to taking the curve too fast, blaming it a momentary lapse, according to media reports.
He has been charged with negligent homicide by Investigating Magistrate Luis Alaez, who is also probing whether the train, the tracks or the security system that slow down the trains may also have been at fault.
Sixty-six people remained in hospital from the crash on Tuesday, with 15 in critical condition

Ah lovely. I was going to make some mince pie cakes next week. Didn't have a specific recipe in mind, but was thinking of mixing the mincemeat through the cakes. I might do some using that method and some using yours.

The Rebuttal of The New York Times Article
Composite Image by The New York Times
The New York Times has recently published the above photographs, comparing the figure skating jumps executed by Yuna Kim and Adelia Sotnikova at the 2014 Sochi Olympics Ladies Free Event. Upon seeing this, one would make an immediate conclusion that the skater above (Adelina Sotnikova, RUS) jumps higher than the one below (Yuna Kim, KOR) .
However, there are a number of issues with these photographs.
First is the fundamental difference in their jumps.
Sotnikova on the top is executing a 2A-3T (Double Axel-Triple Loop) combination, and Kim a 3S-2T (Triple Salchow-Double Toe Loop) combination.
They are two completely different TYPES of jumps and their numbers of rotations differ as well.
Moreover, two skaters are executing their jumps at different places on the ice. This of course would mean that the angle and the direction in which the photographs were taken differed as well. Taking these facts into consideration, it becomes readily evident that comparing two different photographs of two different types of jumping combination is a pointless exercise.
Secondly, there is a major scale discrepancy.
According to the Sochi Olympics' official website, Sotnikova is 1.63m (5'4"); Kim is 1.65m(5'5").
Sotnikova is shorter than Kim. But in the photos below used by NYT, she is scaled to 3cm while Kim is scaled to 2.8cm.
The fact that Sotnikova appears bigger in the photo means that there is a scale discrepancy in the two photos used by NYT.
Why this is important? It's because this scale discrepancy creates this much visual error, as seen in the images below we are providing.
This much scale discrepancy is enough to make Sotnikova's jump look bigger than it really was and of course than Kim's.
Below are the images we adjusted based on the correct ratio of height difference between the two skaters.
Is it not that clear to you how they are different from the original?
Then let's go back to the original images.
Composite Image by The New York Times
The error becomes fairly obvious.
Next, the poor compositing. Let's start with enlarging the photo.
Then zoom in.
Notice the choppiness in the stitching that exists neither in any other area in Sotnikova's image nor Kim's?
Of course it is HIGHLY probable that this is just due to the camera rotating on the y-axis too much at the time of photographing this double axel,
resulting in losing the coherency in the speed photos' perspectives which would have made the stitching more complex.
In any sense, it would be safe to say that as a result, the particular area of the stitched photos lacks the accuracy to properly represent the double axel moment.
Lastly, the line with an arrow used in the NYT's image to illustrate the jump path, the flow and the height.
The first arrow-line in Sotnikova's image has a wrong starting point. It starts from her right leg which is the free leg(kicked to the back and swinging in the air, in preparation for the jump). The actual take off didn't happen from that toe point as illustrated in NYT's image.
By using that free leg as the point of take-off, the arrow end up being an inaccurate representation of Sotnikova's jump.
If anything, this misrepresentation only glamourizes her jump than it really is.
In using these photographs, New York Times wrote:
'Sotnikova's combination had a much higher base value because she chose to do the most difficult double jump, the double axel. She received high marks for her good flow, height and distance.', 'The double jump Kim chose is one of the easiest, so it has a low base value. The entry was simple, and the jump ended with little speed.'
If the New York Times was to demonstrate the total difference between the difficulty of Sotnikova and Kim's total jump elements, the analysis should have been based on ALL the jumps that Sotnikova and Kim each did and didn't do.
If the New York Times was to demonstrate the difference in the quality and execution of the jumps, they should have made the image comparison using the jumps that Sotnikova and Kim both did, such as 3Lz-3T, 3F, 3S, 2A in the free program.
These are the flaws in the supporting images used by New York Times.
Now, let's take a look at the article "How Sotnikova Beat Kim, Move by Move".
The article included the following table to explain "where Sotnikova scored higher".
Composite Image by The New York Times
The major flaw here: this table is using the COMBINED points of the base value and the GOE, the grade given by the judges based on how well THE JUDGES THOUGHT the element was executed at the time of performance. Even though as we have all heard many, many times this week, the judging is "subjectively" done.
Therefore, we created the following table to show only the base value.
(The reason why the step and spin elements are not included in this chart will be explained later.)
Please note that unlike New York Times' table, this table includes the base values from both short and free programs.
That is because as Brian Boitano has said in his interview with CNN, we also believe that "Kim's score should not have been so close to Sotnikova's after the short program and that is the gap that should not have been bridged so that Yuna Kim would have been a two time Olympic champion."
Also notice that even though Kim's short program was "more difficult" judging from the base value of the jump elements that advances Sotnikova's by 1.90 points, this didn't seem to have been reflected as loyally as what those who defend Sotnikova's free program score like to say, since the final scores after the short program were only separated by 0.28 in Kim's advantange.
The New York Times' claim that Sotnikova won because "her combination had a much higher base value because she chose to do the most difficult double jump (while) the double jump Kim chose is one of the easiest, so it has a low base value", therefore; faces a challenge to establish itself especially given that Kim's short program had a higher base value.
No, Sotnikova didn't win by the 5.48 total point difference because her program was "more difficult". She won because the judges "subjectively" unanimously thought that she executed her elements EXCEEDINGLY BETTER than Kim, then the reigning Olympic Champion and the current world champion, and added that much GOE to her protocol.
Out of the 108 different GOE pts received from the nine judges on the twelve elements in free skating, Sotnikova received a whooping thirty-three 3 GOE pts(the highest), and only nine of the 1 GOE pts. While many believe that Kim's free skating was near perfect, only thirtheen of the Kim's was marked with 3 GOE pts by the judges. Forty-one of them was marked with 1 GOE pts.
So, in spite of all this, does the NYT article still hold credibility in your eyes?
For those who say yes, I'd like to present another piece of data. (Actually, this is the part that just might be the highlight.)
After watching this particular video and reading these materials, if you still have doubts as to whether the NYT article was being truthful or otherwise, I'd certainly like to hear from you.
>>Video http://youtu.be/5cVW0h6U3D4
>>Was scoring for the ladies figure skating acceptable? http://www.feverskating.com/fevers/64956111
>>Comparing 'One-foot step' in FS Kim and Sotnikova http://www.feverskating.com/fevers/65097603
The New York Times reported that Sotnikova won over Kim "point by point" using the overall technical element score -- the sum total of base value and grade of execution-- as the support for their claim.
However, as we have seen, that argument is flawed in various aspects. Further, as noted in many other media reports, there is something suspicious about the judging panel, and the judges awarded exceedingly generous marks for the Russian athlete.
The fact that Sotnikova received the unmatched number of GOE 3s out of all skaters as well as the exceptionally high PCS would mean that her Olympic program was one of the most groundbreaking, revolutionary masterpieces(if not unprecedented) performed since the new scoring system was implemented.
But was it really?
History will be the judge of that.

Peter Jaggs is from Essex in England and has spent the best part of the past twenty five years in Thailand since he was in his early twenties and has visited every province in the country.
Peter has always believed that real work is a necessary evil and should only be undertaken when funds are required for the extended bouts of bar-hopping, fishing and hanging out on beaches he much prefers.
However, he does enjoy writing about his beloved second home and has had articles, stories and poems published in several newspapers and magazines.
Although Peter loves women - especially of the Thai variety - he is not married because he feels that a wife would be as much of a hindrance to his freedom and irresponsible lifestyle as a regular job. Besides this, no female on God's earth could put up with him for any length of time apart from his mother.
Peter is currently based between Devon, England and Pattaya City and spends an equal amount of time in each of his two homes with frequent excursions to other favourite venues in Asia.
Peter also wrote the first ever book in the English language published on freshwater fishing in Thailand.

6 Core Datatypes
A Scribble document is meant to be independent of its rendered form (HTML, PDF, etc.), and Scribble's plug-in architecture accommodates new rendering back-ends. In particular, Scribble defers detailed typesetting work to LaTeX or to HTML browsers.
Scribble's documentation abstraction reflects a least-common denominator among such document formats. For example, Scribble has a baked-in notion of itemization, since LaTeX, HTML, and other document formats provide specific support to typeset itemizations. For many other layout tasks, such as formatting Scheme code, Scribble documents fall back to a generic "table" abstraction. Similarly, Scribble itself resolves most forms of cross-references and document dependencies, since different formats provide different levels of automatic support; tables of contents and indexes are mostly built within Scribble, instead of the back-end.
A Scribble document is a program that generates an instance of a part structure type. A part can represent a section or a book, and it can have sub-parts that represent sub-sections or chapters. This paper, for example, is generated by a Scribble document whose resulting part represents the whole paper, and it contains sub-parts for individual sections. The part produced by a Scheme document for a reference manual is rendered as a book, where the immediate sub-parts are chapters.
Figure 2 summarizes the structure of a document under part in a UML-like diagram. When a field contains a list, the diagram shows a double arrow, and when a field contains a lists of lists, the diagram shows a triple arrow. The dashed arrows call attention to delayed fields, as explained below.
Each part has a flow that is typeset before its sub-parts (if any), and that represents the main content of a section. A flow is a list of blocks, where each block is one of the following:
A paragraph, which contains a list of elements that are typeset inline with automatic line breaks.
A table, which contains a list of rows; each row is a list of flows, one for each cell in the table.
An itemization, which contains a list of flows, one for each item.
A blockquote, which contains a single flow that is typically typeset with more indentation than its surrounding flow.
A delayed-block, which eventually expands to another block, using information gathered elsewhere in the document. Accordingly, the block field of a delayed-block is not just a block, but a function that computes a block when given that other information. For example, a delayed-block is used to implement a table of contents.
A Scribble document can construct other kinds of blocks that are implemented in terms of the above built-in kinds. For example, a defproc block that describes a procedure is implemented in terms of a table.
An element within a paragraph can be one of the following:
A plain string.
An instance of the element structure type, which wraps a list of elements with a typesetting style, such as 'bold, whose detailed interpretation depends on the back-end format.
A target-element, which associates a cross-reference tag with a list of elements. The typeset elements are the target for cross-references using the tag.
A link-element, which associates a cross-reference tag to a list of elements. The tag designates a cross-reference from the elements to elsewhere in the document (which is rendered in HTML as a hyperlink from the elements).
A delayed-element eventually expands to a list of elements. Like a delayed-block, it typically generates the elements using information gathered from elsewhere in the document. A delayed-element often generates a link-element after it locates a suitable target for cross-referencing.
A collect-element is the complement of delayed-element: it includes an immediate list of elements, but also a procedure to record information that might be used elsewhere in the document. A collect-element often includes a target-element, in which case its procedure might register the target's cross-reference tag for discovery by delayed-element instances.
A few other element types support more specialized tasks, such as communicating between phases and specifying tooltips.
A document as represented by a part instance is an immutable value. This value is transformed in several passes to eliminate delayed-block instances, delayed-element instances, and collect-element instances. The result is a part instance and associated cross-reference information. Once the cross-reference information has been computed, it is saved for use when building other documents that have cross-references to this one. Finally, the part instance is consumed by a rendering back-end to produce the final document.
In the current implementation of Scribble, all documents are transformed in only two passes: a collect pass that collects information about the document (e.g., through collect-elements), and a resolve pass that turns delayed blocks and elements into normal elements. We could easily generalize to multiple passes, but so far, two passes have been sufficient within a single document. When multiple documents that refer to each other are built separately, these passes are iterated as explained in Building and Installing Documentation.
In some cases, the output of Scribble needs customization that is specific to a back-end. Users of Scribble provide the customization information by supplying a mapping from the contents of the style field in the various structures the style's back-end rendering. For HTML output, a CSS fragment can extend or override the default Scribble style sheet. For LaTeX output, a ".tex" file can extend or redefine the default Scribble LaTeX commands.

TriPython December 2015 Meeting: Chemical Informatics with Python and GPUs
Chemical Informatics or Cheminformatics applies and develops methods in computer science and artificial intelligence to solve problems in chemistry. It covers a wide range of application areas like prediction of chemical reactions, computer-assisted structure elucidation, generation of molecules spaces, and more. Traditionally, there has been a focus on the pharmaceutical drug development pipeline. Because of the dramatic growth of biological and chemical data, often referred to as "Big Data", the applicability of computational methods like data mining and machine learning has been extended to nearly every corner of chemical sciences. Application of GPU accelerators enable computational researchers to push the boundaries of discovery with processing this "Big Chemical Data". In this introductory talk, Dr. Olexandr Isayev presents an overview of these developments, platforms, and early successful applications in his lab as well as in the field. Dr. Isayev is a Research Scientist at UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2008, he received his Ph.D. in computational chemistry from Jackson State University. He was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Case Western Reserve University and a senior scientist at the US Army ERDC before joining UNC in 2013. Dr. Isayev received the "Emerging Technology Award" from the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the GPU Computing Award from NVIDIA in 2014. His research interests focus on making sense of chemical data with molecular modeling and machine learning. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Lightning talks are for you to "show and tell" something you've learned about Python recently, no matter how small. We all use Python, therefore, we are always learning something new about Python that we can tell others. Please see the parking instructions on the BCC website. A wide variety of possibilities for the after-meeting are within steps of BCC.

The fire in a high-rise building that killed a man and critically injured his new husband in a Manhattan high-rise building was electrical, caused by an extension cord, the FDNY said.
Daniel McClung, 27, died and 32-year-old Michael Todd Cohen was hurt after the fire erupted in the 42-story building on West 43rd Street Sunday.
They were found in a stairwell near the 31st floor, more than 10 stories above where the fire started on the 20th floor.
FDNY Chief of Operations James Esposito said Monday that there was a Christmas tree in the apartment where the fire began, but it wasn't clear if the cord was somehow connected to the tree in some way.
Cohen is in stable condition at a hospital. The couple married in July, neighbors told NBC 4 New York.
More than 200 firefighters responded to put out the blaze, and it took nearly two hours to get it under control.
Crews got to the scene quickly, but it took some time for firefighters to reach the higher floors.
"In a building this size, it takes a lot of firefighters to get up to the upper floors," assistant chief John Sudnik said. "It requires a lot of resources and it takes time."
Seven other residents and some firefighters had some minor injuries.
The management board for the building said in an email to residents Monday that the building had reopened, except for the 20th floor and some apartments on the 21st floor.
