But the E train wasn't working and I had to walk through the proverbial strange neighborhood at night to get to the F - I could imagine how some could be scared! And, you know what? The city could do better about the signs directing people to such detour locations ... but I'm not here this morning to gripe!
I got to the American Museum of Natural History - and boy! The crowds!
I was lucky I could cross by a short-cut from CPW south of 81st St. - which was jammed with balloons and people. I tried calling my friend to check on where she was - but the call couldn't get through! Everyone was calling everyone else - couldn't get a signal!
But, it was fun, and the three of us met and went to a nice, relatively quiet restaurant on 71st St.: Pasha. Why not Turkish for Thanksgiving, eh?
The evening was certainly cool, but we took to our feet and walked back across the park.
Perhaps you wouldn't want to walk across Central Park at night, but there were three of us, and the lights were bright - and there were others like us walking. It's only half a mile anyway.
I wasn't sure I would be up the next morning early, but I was and there was a message: "I'm going to go watch the parade! You?" Why not!
Yes, yes, that's Ronald McDonald - and boy there were more, and all the marching bands, and all the celebrities and and ... and the people!
Everyone seemed to be out, and especially the grandparents with their grandchildren. But even some who just wanted to see a parade.
I'd be happy to hear from any of my readers - and please submit your comments! - which of all the parades we have in New York is your favorite: Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's, Columbus Day, Steuben Day, or the parade of your choice. And let us all know just what is is about that parade that you like the most.
I think the Thanksgiving Day Parade is my favorite ... because ....
it's for the kids!
But, well, you can also say you like Thanksgiving because it's for the families, right? And it's a time when the whole family - more or less! (And "families" that just seem to form ad hoc!)
It was a nice parade - but it was getting cold so we went in - for we each had places to go people to see!
But, there were more balloons .....
And there were still people there, excited and willing to brave the chill to see the whole thing. Maybe next year!
Let me know how your Thanksgiving Day was - and, did you see the parade?

The Walk to Tenafly - Part Three
I left you as I encountered the entrance to St. Peter's College, or, rather, their adult division, on Englewood Cliffs, there in the Palisades. Yes, it must have the best view of all the colleges in the Metropolitan Area:
Can you imagine if you had been at the Palisades Mountain House? Or living in the Allison home, at this site?
But maybe you can certainly imagine how attractive this area was for those who could afford to live so far from, yet so close to, the city in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I did, and still do. After all I grew up not three miles from this very spot - but, I was young, had other concerns ... who knew?
So, I will visit St. Peter's soon, and ask those in the know there about their institution. Now, I said to myself, I'm walking on. On up the road - whoosh! More bikers!
And cars. I certainly hoped at this point that my road walking wouldn't last - and indeed, I walked along Hudson Terrace for only 5 minutes (yes, I kept a record! I know how long to each turn on my walk.) before I turned left and walked just about 1 minute to Route 9W, or, and I always thought this name was ironic, Sylvan Boulevard.
At this point I knew I was in Englewood Cliffs. Historically, all Englewood included both Teaneck and Englewood Cliffs, and was originally part of Hackensack, which is now the seat of Bergen County. Without going into all the dates and figures at this time, suffice it to say that although Englewood has less than 30,000 inhabitants (including Eddie Murphy), virtually all of the inhabitants of Englewood Cliffs send their children to private schools; most of the residents of the "East Hill" of Englewood do too. I may talk about schools in another blog ... but now I'm walking!
I turn left at Palisades Avenue (in 4 minutes, if you're keeping track!), and quickly get off that busy road to walk down into the real suburban neighborhood of private homes and lawns. City folk rarely encounter such things, except on television, but these are the staples of the American Dream in the post-war American Dreamscape. And my childhood. We walk:
Well, this is certainly a nice, modest single family home. Leaves on the lawn, nice little awning with pillars at the entry; and wonderfully tall and leafy trees seem to accompany the home and its family in their lives on Floyd Street. This feels familiar ....
But just across the street!
What happened here?! Well, let me leave this Mini-Marriott to your imagination, for I'm sure you all will have seen its like all across the metropolitan area, within sight of the turnpike or the parkway, along highways upstate, clustered like oversized beetles on impossibly green-turfed lawns. I was beginning to become a little afraid for my walk: don't tell me this is all I would have to show of Englewood Cliffs to my walkers?
It's like neighborhoods everywhere, in this particular block, as it proved. But it changed, as I walked on and a little to the west.
One must understand that, like St. Peter's College and the Palisades Mountain House, which were both sited on the former estate and acres of the Allisons', these homes also were on the once expansive acres of prior land-owners. I wonder who they were - and if there's anything left that might remind us of them?
Well, very little is left of the grand estates of yore, and what is has been transformed into the estates of others. But I'll fill you in at least a little when we walk together (we are, aren't we?) about the "Railroad suburbs" of Bergen County.
But we do have watered estates today! A couple of blocks down Pershing brought me to this expanse. A modern luxury. Yet, I hadn't seen anyone yet.
The only people I had seen out were the hired men taking care of the leaves - with machines! The colorful scenery was almost drowned by the roar of leaf blowing machinery; notice the "leaf pusher" this man has - and it's mechanized.
Yes, wide empty streets! But it was a beautiful day.
I was wondering about the neighborhood's history, however, and when I came to North Woodland Street, I turned left.
Hmm. Anyone know Gloria Crest? This was the home of Gloria Swanson, built in 1926 by a member of the Polish royal family (and named after his wife, not Gloria Swanson), and now the home of Jan and Edward Turen, who are also active in the theater world. I didn't poke my nose through the gate ... but we'll look when we all come, ok?
I turned right and began my walk away from the mansion, and down Walnut. Oh! Look at this modest home! Probably an "out" house for one of the neighboring mansions ... but again: where is everyone!
It was a beautiful day, and I was on my way to meet a school friend for lunch in Tenafly, so I had, as they say, things to do and people to meet! And miles to go before I would get a seat?
Well, technically, that's true but not a real problem. It was, you see such a wonderful day!
My ultimate destination: the railroad station in Tenafly - designed by Daniel Topping Atwood and on the National Register of Historic Places - but now it's Cafe Angelique. Time for a brunch snack!

A Man on the Street
This will be a quick post; after all, I didn't know where I was going to go when I decided yesterday to take a walk down E. 10th Street from Avenue A and Tompkins Square. I'm a friendly sort of guy.

Just Listening In, and then ...

The Walk to Tenafly - Part Two
You must realize: it's only a 25 minute walk across the George Washington Bridge, even with stopping to take a few pictures. And what's that? Oh, maybe a 20 block walk downtown; a walk across Central Park and down to the Metropolitan Museum, perhaps. It's not far, people, you can do it!
And once you have - well, after you've walk down a little, and under the highway and up a flight of steps, you're at the doorway (to adventure!):
Yes, the gateway to a new world - or the escape-way from your old, familiar one! Let's take just a few steps up.
Hmm. A sign: we're going on to the Long Path, eh? Carpenter's Trail ... Allison Park (that looks interesting), and Dyckman Hill Trail - wait! Is that the same Dyckman we know from uptown? From the Farm House at 204th and Broadway?
In fact, that's at least one of the places where the ferry from Dyckman Street would land in New Jersey. I wonder if we'll ever get that again? Because I know there used to be a ferry from over in Jersey that one of my childhood neighbors, when she was a student at Barnard in the 20's, used to take the ferry from her over to 125th Street and walk up the hill of Broadway to class. Ahh, yes, those were the days my friends ....
But I don't think I'll be going all the way to the Dyckman Hill Trail. But Allison Park, yes. We shall see that. So, I walk a bit to the left and, ahh...
This is why I came across the bridge! I'll take that path!
And it was true that at that time I didn't really care where it went! I could walk it, and easily. Such fun.
Just to stroll down with a purposeful stride. As if I knew where I was going - because that wasn't important! I was out and about, and I was on my way.
I knew there were to be some fantastic views ahead, and maybe even some more adventurers out to see the sights of late autumn over the river. But first I had to look back, as I got closer to the edge of the Palisades -
I've come all that way - and farther, it seems.
I spot a family by a lookout, and one who was new to the site. Very closeby was a fork in the path. "Where do we go Dad?" one of the boys asked. "Hmm..." he murmered. My cue: "Take the left path. It goes along the top - and there are restrooms not far!"
Oh, such an authority, I am I am! They exclaimed "Yay!" as I continued my walk.
Well! Who was here? Who have we to imagine lost these - eyes?! No, earrings. They looked rather nice - but I certainly left them there to startle the group now following me - I wonder if they left them there? I hope so, unless they knew who lost them - which I doubt.
The wonders of the woods: "Whose woods are these? I think I know," but he lives in the village below?
A bridge! And not the George - such a change. This path is seeming to get somewhere ....
I cross a running brook, although I didn't see any frogs at first glance. Actually, come to think of it, I was so unlike myself when I was a kid growing up. I didn't stop to search for any wildlife! Hmm. Next time ....
This path seems to be arriving somewhere - and yes, this is Allison Park.
So, naturally, and you know me by now, I wonder who is Allison? As the website for the Palisades Park Conservancy informed me:
"William O. Allison (1849-1924), [...] had an estate at this location. Allison had been born in the "Undercliff" settlements, the son of fishermen and quarry workers. As a child he was made a ward of the Dana family, who owned a large estate on top of the cliffs. He succeeded in business and became one of the largest land owners along the Palisades, and was the principal owner of the Palisades Mountain House, also at this site, until it burned down in 1884."
What was the Palisades Mountain House? I had never heard of it:
And you could drive your rig along the Hudson River on the Hudson River Drive from Edgewater to Fort Lee, and up to the top of the cliffs and to the hotel. Many people did - even Calvert Vaux, one half of the team that designed Central Park, in the summer of 1880.
But today, all we have is Allison Park ... and the remnants of a few foundation elements ... and maybe this?
I have to check this out ....
Many of you have probably driven on Route 9W many times, passing all those spandexed bicyclists in the technicolor crouch of their preferred exercise, and maybe you've seen all the woods and wondered what may lie behind those trees.
I walk on to discover just what's around that corner. A nice stone cabin, filled with building
supplies, but with a wonderful view. I can't help but imagine the wonderful afternoon spend sipping wine and talking with close friends. All quiet, secluded, on the cliff and behind the trees. So close, and so far away.
I fear I'm ending my woods walk soon, but I go out into the clearing of the park - of Allison Park, to catch one of the great views of the river.
The great George Washington Bridge, over a mile away, as I walk on the Palisades, near where the great Palisades Mountain House stood until that terrible fire in 1884.
But now I seem to be heading out, and indeed there's a sign - and I think I'm on - oh no! - I'm on my way to the road!
And down at the end of the road is St. Peter's College, which will not be covered on this blog, at least in these installments - but I'm at the end of my sylvan wanderings - and due to walk for a short street on Sylvan Avenue, also known as Route 9W, into Englewood Cliffs, Englewood, and finally Tenafly. The Next Installment!

The Walk to Tenafly - Part One
So, now you know the hours - but I got there at 8:30AM, a little late by my schedule. We shall see what pace I can keep up.
I had originally intended to take the Northwalk (as they call it) but that one was closed; I don't know why, but no matter. It turned out I wasn't alone - but I couldn't get my camera out in time - whoosh! a whole fleet of bicycles passed me by!
I was amazed, actually, to be able to have an unobstructed view off the bridge. There was no high barrier at all, and considering the recent tragedy of the young man who jumped that was especially unnerving. But it didn't bother anyone else, I guess.
Away in the distance is a group of speeding bicyclists too fast for me to catch for you, but I just had to enjoy the morning on the bridge - and get the pictures when I could. After all -
I could look over the Henry Hudson Parkway and the River toward New Jersey.
Jersey City is the city in the morning mist
I am planning to make this walk a public tour for those with an interest in understanding the growth of New York, and the establishment of its suburbs. After all, I grew up in Tenafly and biked all around when I was a kid there. Never really knew where I was, but, as they say, I never got lost.
People would stop me on the road and ask where route 501 was, or something like that, and I really had no idea! Maybe I knew that that was County Road, but that didn't matter to me either. I just knew that was a way to go and that you'd find something down "that way." My friends Scott and Bob would call, and we would all agree that we'd go for a "bike hike" and be off for the afternoon. We'd always be back home at about 5 or six; we never called to tell our Moms where we were, or if we'd be late. We never were.
We never even told them where we were going. We were, well, just going out. And that was that.
It is amazing how we're all - or at least many or most of us - attached to our cell phones, our GPS, our umbilicals to Central, so to speak. How did we live back then?
So, Saturday I set out to see if I could, at least in part, recover that old spirit.
I reached the Fort Lee side.
I think that's where the actual Fort was ... I'll have to go there, some time soon.
But first ... !

Upchurch Scientific® NanoTight Unions improve capillary tubing connections in several ways. The sleeving system and internal design of the unions greatly reduce the incidence of tubing misalignment. The webbed thru-hole minimizes breaking of fused silica at the junction point while adding only miniscule swept volume (8 nL for the P-779-01 and 13 nL for the U-411). The results are fewer blockages, fewer flow rate reductions and fewer back pressure problems.
Connect capillary tubing with these unions using the NanoTight Fittings and Sleeves. These versatile unions can also be used to connect capillary tubing to 1/16" OD tubing, or to connect two 1/16" OD tubing lines. To connect 1/16" OD tubing with our P-779-01, use any standard polymer 10-32 coned fittings, such as our NanoTight Fittings. To connect 1/16" OD tubing with our U-411, use the included fittings.
The pressure holding capability of the NanoTight Unions depends on the fittings and tubing sleeves selected.

Hi folks,
In this article I will discuss how to fix a problem with unmounting file systems in Ubuntu. Suppose you want to unmount a file system /some/endpoint for example in Ubuntu but run into an error like
umount: /some/endpoint: target is busy (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).) Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.
An easy way to find out what exactly is using that endpoint is to run the following command:
lsof | grep /some/endpoint
Once you see what process is using the filesystem, you can then go ahead to kill or end it.

Week 22
This week contains the yahrzeits of Rabbi Aharon Leib Leifer of Premishlan (2nd of Adar) and Rabbi Yisrael Alter of Ger (also the 2nd of Adar).
Rabbi Aharon Leib of Premishlan was one of the leading Chassidic figures of Eastern Europe. He was the son of Rabbi Meir the Elder and the father of Rabbi Meir'l of Premishlan. The Chassidic dynasty of Nadvorna, from which many present rebbes descend, originates from Premishlan.
Rabbi Yisrael Alter was the fourth rebbe of Ger. He escaped Poland during the Holocaust, and came to Israel in 1940. He was rebbe from 1948 until his passing in 1977. He had a very prominent role in rebuilding the Ger dynasty after it had been decimated by the Nazis. Today, Ger is the largest Chassidic dynasty in the world.
Other yahrzeits this week include Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Zhidachov (30th of Adar Alef), Rabbi Shabtai HaKohen Katz, the "Shach" (1st of Adar), Rabbi Baruch Halberstam of Gorlitz (son of Rav Chaim of Sanz, also 1st of Adar), Rabbi Eliyahu HaKohen of Izmir (also 1st of Adar), Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Rosh Yeshivas Brisk, Yerushalayim, 2nd of Adar)
Week 23
This week contains two yahrzeits related to the Kaliver Chassidic dynasty, of Hungary: Rabbi Leib Sarah's (4th of Adar) and Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Taub of Kalev (7th of Adar).
Rabbi Leib Sarah's was a close disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, and one of the hidden tzadikkim. He was known by the name of his mother, because of her righteousness in marrying another hidden tzadik to avoid the advances of a nobleman. He spent his life raising money to ransom imprisoned Jews and to support other tzadikim. (Ascent)
Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Taub is the founder of the Kalever dynasty. He was "discovered" by Rabbi Leib Sarah, who brought him to study with Reb Shmelke of Nicholsburg. He also later studied under Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk. He was known as the "Sweet Singer of Israel" and well known for his nigunnim (Chassidic melodies). He was the first rebbe to establish a Chassidic presence in Hungary.
Also this week is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Avraham Landau of Chechanov (5th of Adar).
Week 24
This week contains the yahrzeits of Rabbi Chayim Yosef David Azulai (the "Chida," 11th of Adar) and Rabbi Avraham Bornstein (the "Avnei Nezer" and "Eglei Tal," also 11th of Adar).
The Chida is one of the greatest Sephardi authorities of all time. An expert in Jewish law as well as Kabbalah, the Chida was also a historian and bibliographer. He wrote over 71 works. He was a student of Rav Shalom Sharabi [the Rashash] and Rav Chaim ben-Atar (the Ohr HaChaim). (Ascent)
The Avnei Nezer was the son-in-law of Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Kotzk and the founder of the Chassidic dynasty of Sochatchov. Similar to the Chida, his expertise lied not only in mystical texts, but also the in the revealed realm of practical Jewish law.
Other yahrzeits this week include Rabbi Yosef Rosen of Dvinsk (the Rogatchover Gaon, 11th of Adar), Rabbi Elazar Lipman Weisbloom (father of the rebbes, R' Elimelech of Lizensk and R' Zusia of Anipoli, 11th of Adar), Rav Avraham Abuchatzera (son of the Abir Yaakov, 11th of Adar), R' Naftali Tzvi of Bobov (12th of Adar), Rav Nachman Goldstein (the Tcheriner Rav of Breslov, 13th of Adar) Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (13th of Adar), Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf of Zhitomir (Purim, 14th of Adar), Rabbi Pinchas Menachem Alter of Ger (the "Pnei Menachem," 16th of Adar), Rabbi Elazar Menachem-Mendel of Lelov (16th of Adar).
Week 25
This week contains the yahrzeits of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk (21st of Adar) and Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Rothenberg/Alter (the "Chiddushei HaRim, 23rd of Adar).
Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk was on of the main disciples of the Maggid of Mezritch. He was known as the "Rebbe of Rebbes" of the Jews of Poland/Galitzia. He was the brother of Reb Zushia of Anipoli, and many of his disciples became rebbes in their own right, including the Chozeh of Lublin, the Ohev Yisrael, Reb Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, and the Maggid of Kozhnitz. His also the author of the Noam Elimelech, one of the foundational texts of Polish Chassidism.
Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter was the founder of the Ger dynasty, which, in great part because of his inspiring and caring leadership, became the largest of all Chassidic groups. His work, Chiddushei HaRim, is also a Chassidic "classic."
Other yahrzeits this week include Rav Chanoch Henach of Alexander (18th of Adar - He served as the rebbe of Ger for some time after the Chidushei HaRim passed away), Rabbi Nachum Mordechai of Chortkov (son of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman, 18th of Adar), and Rabbi Meir Yechiel of Ostrovtze (19th Adar 1928).

Linognathus vituli
Linognathus vituli
Long-nosed or blue cattle louse
General Description:
Wingless insect, 2.5 mm in length, with a long narrow head and slender body. The mouth parts are adapted for sucking. These lice are blue in color due to blood seen through the yellowish-brown body wall.
Life Cycle:
Typical life cycle of lice takes 1 month.
Most often found on protected areas of skin: side of neck, brisket, back, head, and between the legs.
Geographical Distribution:
Widely distributed throughout the world.
This is a common parasite of cattle which can cause serious damage if present in large numbers.
Effects on Host:
Louse worry is great, causing cattle to lick, scratch, and rub affected areas. This causes the coat to become rough. Anemia may arise if infestation is heavy. Anemia leads to debilitation which makes animals susceptible to infectious diseases and extremes in environmental temperature.
Diagnostic Information:
Lice may be seen on skin.
Insecticides are effective in various preparations.

The MAYHEM FILM FESTIVAL Brings Scares Aplenty To The UK
Are you ready…for absolute MAYHEM? The Mayhem Film Festival descends upon Nottingham, UK, at the Broadway Cinema, October 11 – 14, 2018. Featuring some of the best of horror, sci-fi, and cult classic features and shorts, there's going to be a wide variety of cinematic genre offerings that should keep everyone happy.
Quite a few of the menu items have been making the rounds at many of the festivals, with some of them even winning awards. You'll find a few that have been reviewed here and some that are about to be in the very near future, including:
Anna and the Apocalypse : A Scottish high-school Christmas zombie musical, this one's been getting a lot of buzz lately, and MAYHEM will also feature a Q&A with Anna and the Apocalypse's director John McPhail.
The Witch in the Window: Canadian filmmaker Andy Mitton's follow-up to Yellowbrickroad and We Go On, this supernatural chiller is primed to bring a lot of unhappy relationships together. For those families where someone loves horror movies but hates the PG-13 ones and has yet another finicky watcher who loves horror but ONLY if it's PG-13, The Witch in the Window is that happy medium where everyone gets what they want. With a minimum of reliance on tired horror tropes and no gore whatsoever, The Witch in the Window specializes more in classic creeps, using the slow-burn technique to come to a heart-warming, yet also heart-breaking finish.
Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich continues to advance the beloved cult Full Moon Features franchise, with both fan favorites Udo Kier and Barbara Crampton on board.
One Cut of the Dead: Asian filmmakers have had their American brethren hanging their heads in shame (or they should be) with the way they've been managing to freshen up the tired zombie genre, with Korea's outstanding Train to Busan and the quirky Chinese gut-muncher Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight. Now it's Japanese co-writer/director Shin'ichiro Ueda's turn, and if the other two are any indication of what kind of surprises to expect, you probably want to get your tickets to this one ASAP.
What Keeps You Alive: Even if you're not familiar with Colin Minihan's name, you've probably seen one or both of the films in the Grave Encounters franchise that he launched, or maybe his zombie-apocalypse-hits-Sin-City thriller It Stains the Sands Red. Based on his past work alone, his latest, a remote, woodsy horror drama sounds like another 'must-see' to add to your list.
Besides these films, there are also some debuts and other goodies worth noting. Nightmare Cinema is the much-anticipated horror omnibus from genre icon Mick Garris, who gave us the unforgettable Showtime shock-stravaganza Masters of Horror. Directors on-board this time around include Garris himself, Joe Dante, David Slade, and Ryuhei Kitamura (No One Lives, Versus, Midnight Meat Train).
Mandy, the plenty-talked-about horror-on-acid freakshow starring – appropriately enough – Nicolas Cage – will infiltrate the Festival as well, and hopefully have tongues wagging just as much about its writer/director Panos Cosmatos, who also created the equally trippy Beyond the Black Rainbow.
And if One Cut of the Dead leaves you ravenous for more Japanese horror-goodness, you're in luck. Making its UK premiere will be Shinsuke Sato's live-action adaptation of the popular manga Inuyashiki.
And if this wasn't mind-blowing enough, there's also going to be a screening of the Lamberto Bava/Dario Argento collaboration from 1985, the crowd-pleasing Demons, and from Finland, The White Reindeer, a rarely-seen supernatural adaptation of a Finnish folk tale, made in 1952 by director Erik Blomberg.

What's Hot on the Indie and Straight to DVD/VOD Scene?
Here's a quick look at what's hot in the Indie horror and more lesser known horror scene in the coming months, as it is set to erupt with DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD releases for fans.
On August 7th we have already seen the releases of films like the dramatic horror film MARROWBONE with Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), a Bluray release of Dante Tomescelli's 1999 film DESECRATION, the dramatic fantasy thriller WILDING (starring Liv Tyler), FLORA a thrilling sci-fi film about the discovery of a deadly bacteria, Canada's own occultist gem PYEWACKET (starring The Walking Dead's Laurie Holden), a film called DEADSHACK (starring Lauren Holly), and the creepy looking GEHENNA: WHERE DEATH LIVES (featuring both Doug Jones and Lance Henriksen). Finally, yesterday we got the long-anticipated new piece of Stephen Biro's series of horror films – AMERICAN GUINEA PIG: THE SONG OF SOLOMON – starring the likes of horror alumni such as Jessica Cameron and Jim Van Bebber.

10 Payment APIs: Accept Credit Cards, Bank Accounts, BitCoin, and More
For the longest time, if you wanted to make or receive payments on the web, PayPal was the only option you had. Back then, the process wasn't necessarily as user-friendly as it is today – but they did simplify how users could transfer money. Read more
4 Design Tweaks to Improve API Operations
We've previously discussed best practices when it comes to designing an API with quality developer experience. But what will the long term operational repercussions be for the design moves we make now?

Bit RoteBook - 2016
From Library Staff
WVMLlibrarian Apr 01, 2015
Humourous short stories and essays that explore 20th century predictions of future technology.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Thoroughly entertaining, intelligent, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.
A full review can be found under Summary. First appeared in the Stratford Gazette in November 2016.
SummaryAdd a Summary
After much anticipation, renowned Canadian writer and artist Douglas Coupland has released his latest literary work. In his newest collection of stories and essays entitled Bit Rot, Coupland weaves together well-crafted tales of fiction and insightful musings of his high-tech experiences in the information age.
In keeping with the technology-focused themes of his prominent novels JPod and Microserfs, the essays in this collection discuss the implications of overly connected lifestyles in the 21st Century. Through modest yet engrossing entries, Coupland shares his thoughts on the ever-changing nature of human relationships in the world of texting and Tinder.
In contrast, the darkly humorous tales in this collection vary from comically whimsical to deeply disturbing. These eccentric tales include a fictional dialogue between Andy Warhol and the two tragic subjects of his art work "The Tunafish Disaster." Additionally, the author spins a yarn of a king whose subjects have all suddenly lost the ability to read. Generally, these fictitious anecdotes are filled with quirky characters and outlandish narratives.
Ultimately, Coupland strikes a delicate balance between peculiar fiction and common reality that keeps readers constantly intrigued. The ever-changing subject matter will have you both cackling and grimacing through each entry. Readers will be content to find that each story and essay possesses the quintessential elements that Coupland-enthusiasts crave. For those that enjoy the witty and unconventional writing of Daniel Wallace and Tom Robbins, this compilation of stories and essays will prove to be educational and entertaining.
Bit Rot and many other great works by Douglas Coupland are available to borrow at the Stratford Public Library.

read the
UKCISA guidance for more information.
If you are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and have a Tier 4

immigration advice if you need to. If you have a short-term student entry
clearance sticker or stamp in your passport you are not allowed to work at all
in the UK. Detailed guidance is available within our
web pages and you can contact our International Services team via the 'Ask
us a question' section if you need to seek advice.
Please be aware that, if you work when you shouldn't, do any type of work
that isn't allowed (including unpaid or as a work placement) or, you work more

conditions. This is a criminal offence and can have very serious consequences
for you and the University.

You must have received an honorable discharge to be eligible. The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay eligible individuals at a percentage level ranging from 40% to 100%, based on the total number of days of eligible service after September 10, 2001. Payments include: tuition and fees directly to the school, not to exceed the maximum in-state tuition and fees at a public Institution of Higher Learning; a monthly housing allowance based on the Basic Housing Allowance for an E-5 with dependents at the location of the school; and an annual books and supplies stipend of $1,000 paid proportionately based on enrollment. Additionally, tutorial assistance, and licensing and certification test reimbursement are approved. If you are enrolled exclusively in online training, you will not receive the housing allowance. If you are on active duty you will not receive the housing allowance or books and supplies stipend. This benefit provides up to 36 months of education benefits, generally payable for 15 years following your release from active duty. The Post-9/11 GI Bill also offers some service members the opportunity to transfer their GI Bill to their dependents. Additional information is available from the Veterans Administration.
Detailed information is available from the Veterans Benefits Administration.

David Stevens will remain the CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association after all.
The trade group said in May he would leave July 16 and lead the mortgage unit at SunTrust Banks (STI). Top members and staff at the MBA successfully pressed Stevens over the past several weeks to stay.
"The past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me personally and professionally. After serious thought and consideration, I simply cannot leave the MBA at such a critical time for the industry and the association." Stevens said in a statement released Monday. "Frankly, at the end of the day, stepping away now when so much progress is being made and so much still left to be done, did not feel right."
Since joining the trade group in May 2011 from his role as Federal Housing Administration commissioner, Stevens met with White House officials and policymakers as they craft key provisions under the Dodd-Frank Act such as the qualified mortgage and risk retention rules.
Lately, he pressed the Federal Housing Finance Agency to work toward allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to issue interchangeable bonds.
MBA Chairman Michael Young said the group did everything it could to retain Stevens over the past few weeks.
"Going through this experience left me encouraged by the tremendous opportunity that lies within our industry and reinforced the essential component mortgage finance will continue to play in helping our nation's economy recover," Stevens said.

Iyengarāsana Project - Honouring BKS Iyengar's legacy
0 have signed. Let's get to 5,000!
We believe that naming a pose after Yogāchārya BKS Iyengar would be a wonderful way to honor his legacy. A recognition of his immeasurable contribution to the world of yoga.
Please show your love and support of this important project by signing and sharing this petition.
● BKS Iyengar brought āsanas to an unprecedented level of perfection by creating a symphony of alignment, symmetry, harmony and proportions. 'Alignment is Enlightenment!' and 'My body is my temple, āsanas are my prayers' are some of his most famous quotes. He revered the body as a temple of the soul and he dedicated all his life to the teaching of āsanas as powerful tools for inner transformation and purification. He taught how all the other 7 limbs of Yoga may be perfected through the practice of āsanas. His mission was to prove that anyone, regardless of age, creed, gender, status, race can climb the heights of spirituality and realise through their own body that they are sparks of divinity. An āsana dedicated to him would embody his message to the world and would allow anyone whose life has been transformed by his revolutionary teachings to honour him in a way he would have certainly liked.
● BKS Iyengar revived the dying art of yoga and spread its message on a worldwide scale. He changed the course of Yoga history forever by attracting millions of people to the practice of Yoga and by making this noble art accessible to all through the unique use of PROPS. These are now widely used in all Yoga studios worldwide. The old, the sick, the weak can all practise yoga with the use of supports. Iyengarāsana would be a tribute to BKS Iyengar's all embracing compassion and to the universality of his teachings.
● BKS Iyengar is recognised as one of the greatest Yoga masters of our times by Yoga practitioners worldwide. His demonstrations, books, quotes and talks have inspired generations of seekers on the path of yoga. Iyengarāsana would carry BKS Iyengar's message to everyone's heart. It would encourage all travellers on the path of yoga to become united in the pursuit of inner freedom.
● All the great sages of the past Bharadvāja, Marīchi, Vasishtha, Vishvāmitra have an asana in their name. Century after century they stand as an example to follow and they inspire us to deepen our practice. Iyengarāsana would remind us of BKS Iyengar's journey in this world (and what a journey that was!) and his power to uplift and transform us. It would stand as an encouragement to follow in his footsteps and seek what he sought.
BKS Iyengar once said he would have liked to die in an āsana so may his memory rest in an āsana. Iyengarāsana would be a wonderful dwelling for him for eternity.
We are aware that there is not an authority as such that can deliberate on this. However, we strongly believe that if we start introducing Iyengarāsana this will be incorporated into the Classical Yoga Tradition over time and Iyengarāsana will carry BKS Iyengar's legacy to eternity. Every time Iyengarāsana is performed it would be a living tribute to one of the greatest Yoga Masters of the XX century.
Uttāna Padma Mayūrāsana
We have sent a suggestion to the Mayor of Pune and the Governor of Maharashtra for a Memorial of Guruji in his own āsana to adorn a public space of the city of Pune.
After signing please leave your personal tribute to Guruji BKS IYENGAR and share the petition on social media!

Anthony "Tony" Romero
Tony Romero running for District 9 Police Jury seat
In March of this year I announced my candidacy for Police Juror in District 9.
In that announcement, I outlined my business background and the tools I've acquired while being a small business owner. The most important of the many lessons I've learned is to be a good listener.
Since my announcement I have spent countless hours going door to door to introduce myself and to listen. Our people in District 9 are hardworking people with very similar concerns. We care about our families, our children, our property and our safety from natural weather disasters. I'm proud to share your concerns because this District in Vermilion Parish has been home for my children, my wife and I, for my parents and my grandparents.
The concerns such as drainage, maintenance and roads are a few of the issues that affect our everyday lives here in District 9. Here is where I know I can make a difference. I will be a strong powerful voice for the issues facing our District. I will not back down to politics as usual and never will I give up a fight that will benefit our District. The big roll up door to my fabrication shop will always be open to discuss whatever is on your mind.
One other service I will offer each resident of our District is information. Our people should know what business is being taken up by its governing body. I will keep our people up to date with each meeting's agenda especially when we are voting. I want your input and I want you to hold me accountable.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Kevin for his years of service to our district. I'd also like to acknowledge Mr. Keith Roy, Mr. Gary Guidry, Mr. Keith Frederick & Mr. Billy Noegel for the excellent work they are currently doing and I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work closely with these men in the future and serve the people of District 9 as your Police Juror.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I would appreciate your vote on October 12th. When you get behind that curtain please cast your vote for me,
Anthony, "Tony" Romero.

A few posts back, I mentioned that I really have enjoyed getting to know the many uses for Coconut Oil. Well, I am now exploring the many benefits of Coconut Flour, too! Since Nicholas can not have rice or beans or potatoes right now, we don't have too many options left for creating any type of baked goods. That is, until I discovered Coconut Flour!
According to Bob's Red Mill –
Coconut flour is a delicious, healthy alternative to wheat and other grain flours. It is very high in fiber, low in digestible carbohydrates, a good source of protein and gluten-free. It lends baked goods an incomparably rich texture and a unique, natural sweetness.
It is all those things, but it is also quite tricky to work with in your recipes! I've been finding that it takes about 5 eggs for every 1 cup of coconut flour because it is such a dense flour. I have found some wonderful recipes for muffins over at Comfy Belly, that I strongly encourage you to try out. I will also be posting a pound cake recipe shortly that I made with coconut flour.
As with all the specialty flours, it's not cheap to purchase. I've started ordering mine through Amazon's Subscribe & Save program, because it's very reasonable. It's best to keep the flour in either the refrigerator or freezer so that it stays fresh.

Howard Zahniser (1906–1964), primary author of the 1964 federal Wilderness Act, hailed from Tionesta, Pa., along the Allegheny River. In June 1937, Zahniser and his wife of one year, Alice (1918–2014), took a 14-day, 100-mile canoe trip down the Allegheny River from Olean, N.Y., to Tionesta. It was a continuous river trip then, there being no Kinzua Dam. North of Tionesta, the couple camped on Thompson's Island, now part of the 110-million-acre National Wilderness Preservation System that the 1964 Wilderness Act set in motion. Howard and Alice are now laid to rest beside his beloved Allegheny River in Tionesta's Riverside Cemetery. With characteristic wordplay, Howard named their canoe and his journal Alisonoward, linking the couples' first names. Unbeknownst to him, their first child Alison Howard Mathias Zahniser, made the trip in the womb. This journal is published to support designating more wilderness on the Allegheny National Forest.

Contact Me
If you are interested in a baby chipmunk or have any other questions concerning chipmunks please feel free to leave a comment or to e mail me, email@example.com It is essential that you aquire appropriate housing for your chipmunk before adoption. Chipmunks need a large cage or an aviary so that they can run, climb and jump. They also need their own nesting box to sleep in and feel safe. If you have any further questions about housing... just ask :o)
You can find detailed pictures at the bottom of my blog that show how to determine the sex of your chipmunk(s)

At least 2,000 scrap cars were burning out of control today as more than 110 firefighters battled to bring the massive blaze under control.
A total of 20 fire crews had managed to surround the inferno at Jordan's Scrap Yard at North Quay, Newhaven, East Sussex, but were powerless to halt the fire.
Fire chiefs said the blaze could go on for two days as several tonnes of rubber and plastic were helping feed the huge blaze.
Special foam was being used to try to prevent a ruptured fuel tank from exploding, while several gas cylinders nearby were also threatened by the fire, which started shortly after midnight.
An East Sussex Fire Brigade spokeswoman said: "It is far too early to launch an investigation into how the fire started.
"The fire is surrounded but is so huge that it could burn for two days. It is on an industrial estate and so is surrounded by other industrial buildings.
"There are no houses too close, but residents of the town have been advised to keep their windows shut. There have not been any evacuations and no one has been injured."
Firefighters from across East Sussex and some from West Sussex were at the scene.
A huge plume of smoke could be seen from miles around.
Residents of nearby Seaford were being told to stay indoors as a cloud of black smoke drifted towards the town before moving out to sea.
At the scene of the blaze, members of the public were being kept well back.
Traffic continued to move through the centre of Newhaven.
A Fire Brigade spokeswoman said: undefinedBecause it is a scrap yard we cannot be 100 per cent sure what is burning. The plume is blowing towards Seaford so, as a precaution, we are advising people to stay indoors and keep their windows shut.undefined
Twenty fire crews remained at the fire.

General Information
Description of Program
The VFW's voice had been instrumental in establishing the Veterans Administration, creating a GI bill for the 20th century, the development of the national cemetery system and the fight for compensation for Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange and for veterans diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome. In 2008, VFW won a long-fought victory with the passing of a GI Bill for the 21st Century, giving expanded educational benefits to America's active-duty service members, and members of the Guard and Reserves, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The VFW also has fought for improving VA medical centers services for women veterans.
Besides helping fund the creation of the Vietnam, Korean War, World War II and Women in Military Service memorials, the VFW in 2005 became the first veterans' organization to contribute to building the new Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial, which opened in November 2010.
Annually, the nearly 2 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliaries contribute more than 8.6 million hours of volunteerism in the community, including participation in Make A Difference Day and National Volunteer Week.
From providing over $3 million in college scholarships and savings bonds to students every year, to encouraging elevation of the Department of Veterans Affairs to the president's cabinet, the VFW is there.
As a not-for-profit organization, the VFW Foundation receives no government funding. We rely solely on individual donations and corporation sponsorships. Your tax-deductible charitable contribution makes a direct impact on how much help and financial support we're able to provide our deployed troops and retired military and their families in their time of need.
With your help, we can continue to support programs that:
Reward America's military heroes and their families by sponsoring admission to popular entertainment events and attractions.
Provide prepaid phone time and sponsored "Free Call Days" allowing deployed troops and hospitalized veterans to connect with loved ones.
Support troops and their families in need of financial assistance for housing, medical or basic assistance needs with a one-time grant.
Sponsor "welcome home" and "send off" events to boost the morale of returning or deployed military units.
Offer military veterans, regardless of when or where they served, with VFW counsel and assistance to successfully navigate VA entitlement and disability claims.

Remodeling & Repairing Your Fireplace
The cost will be much higher than using an insert (two to four times as much, with mason work and specialty materials fetching the highest prices), but you can choose exactly the style and materials you want. We tore off the lava rock, which was just a veneer mortared over the fireplace brick and some of the Sheetrock. Contact our fireplace experts today or stop by our showroom in Fort Collins CO to find out how we can update the style, function, and efficiency of your fireplace, fireplace insert, or stove.
If you are tired of putting up with an unpleasant fireplace and desire to add a magnificent touch to your home, contact us about a fireplace remodel. Paint the fireplace a vibrant color and complement it with a beautiful high-profile painting. A mantel that is too big or too small can have a big impact on the overall look of your fireplace.
And the fireplace is so much more in scale with the room than the dated original. Real stacked stone will have various colors so if you prefer to have perfect fluidity in your space, this may not be the best fit for you. I was hoping that paint would be enough for me to perk up the fireplace design, but no luck.
Labor: The cost of labor for porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles is $40-$42 per square foot. Your brick fireplace can also be replaced with marble, granite or other kinds and colors of fireproof brick. Using rock available at local quarries is a sustainable living choice that trims the transportation costs baked into the prices of stone.
Square One will incorporate only the highest quality materials into your fireplace remodel, ensuring that the space remains beautiful and functional for many years to come. With glass doors on either side, this direct-vent gas fireplace creates ambience from every angle and looks great as part of a partition wall dividing living areas.

Court orders VC to end strike
The Vereinigung Cockpit pilots' union strike, which has caused Lufthansa to cancel several short- and medium-haul services from Germany during the past two days, has been ordered to cease by the regional labor court in the federal state of Hesse, Germany. The court overruled a decision made by a lower court on Tuesday evening that allowed today's strike to go ahead.
The court ruled that the pilots were striking not only over pay and retirement benefits but also because of Lufthansa's plans to expand the low-cost arm of the airline. As this was not part of the union's mandate in pay talks, the strike was deemed not to be legal.
Lufthansa has welcomed the decision, agreeing with the court's description of the VC's strike action as "evidently unlawful" in that, for the VC, the strike was clearly motivated not only by the official reason stated, i.e. pilots' transitional retirement provisions, but also by the Wings Concept of the Lufthansa Group. This was not, the Court found, a valid strike objective. The Court further noted that the VC was not prepared to enter into overall mediation unless the Wings Concept was included therein.
The Court's ruling does not permit recourse to any further legal channels.
Lufthansa has stated that it will offer its customers flight schedules that are virtually back to normal from tomorrow onwards, together with its usual reliable service.
Lufthansa has said that it remains willing to resume its negotiations on all open collective labor agreement items with the VC's Group Collective Labor Agreement Committee at any time. "Our goal is still to work with the VC to find a joint solution to all the open CLA issues through the negotiating process," confirms Dr. Bettina Volkens, Chief Officer Corporate Human Resources of Deutsche Lufthansa.
