Today #dgplug (Durgapur Linux user Group) completed 8 years.
On the same day i.e. on 8th september, 2004 some young genious minds like Kushal Das had taken a golden step for the promotion of Free and open source Software(FOSS) where students can come, learn, share their knowledge and contribute to FOSS and founded a Community named Durgapur Linux User Group which is further popularised as a dgplug. Later on Soumya joined together.
When i was in 2nd semester first year at Dr.B.C.Roy Engineering College, Durgapur, had met kushal Das Who had visited our college to give a talk on Python Programming. There i came to know about Open source software and interacted with a group of people like: Rtnpro, Kishan who were contributing to FOSS already. Kishan along with sayan and koustawa helped me in learning fedora Installation. After that under the guidance of kushal and rtnpro, i had learnt fedora RPM packaging and Python programming. Later i had attained dgplug summer training in 2011 and learnt a lot of things related to programming languages and shell scripting. Mbuf tuaght us Communication guidlines that had helped me in irc chats.
But my contribution to open source begins, when Rtnpro and Bamacharan inspired me through violent kicks. They taught me to try my hands on localization of open source Software on transifex. With the support of rtnpro, kushal and Rajesh ranjan, now i am a open Source technical translator for various projects.
As the 3 years of my college life passed, i started inspring out the college students and to share my skill and knowledge with them. The first achievement i have gained when my name got published in the author lists of VlC media Player 2.0.3. Now, lots of students are coming and joining this community and is growing day by day and getting bigger and stronger. A day will come when dgplug will cross its sky limits.
This group has given a greater height to my carreer and arouse the interest of programming. I am really thankful to all who helped me in this journey.

On November 28, Pastor Paul Chappell of Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, published a glowing recommendation of a book by Rick Warren's associate Lance Witt.
The book review begins, "If you are in Christian ministry and are looking for a refreshing (yet convicting and challenging) book--and especially if you are a senior pastor--I suggest Replenish: Leading from a Healthy Soul by Lance Witt. When I read this book on my kindle recently, I had eighty-two highlights that filled over eight pages. There were so many truths the Lord used from it to speak to my soul." Chappell's review does not contain even a hint of warning about Witt. I can't imagine a more dangerous and spiritually ignorant recommendation for a fundamental Baptist pastor to publish.
Witt is the executive pastor at Saddleback Church, and more dangerous spiritual waters do not exist anywhere. Warren is closely affiliated with New Agers and universalists (e.g., Tony Blair, Mehmet Oz, Daniel Amen, Mark Hyman, and Leonard Sweet) and promotes Catholic contemplative mysticism. (See the "Rick Warren" section of the Article Database at www.wayoflife.org). Witt personally promotes contemplative mysticism and even recommends Richard Foster and Buddhist-Catholic Thomas Merton in his book Enjoying in Solitude.
It was via the path of Foster and Merton that Sue Monk Kidd traveled from being a Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher to a goddess worshipper. And yet Pastor Chappell has the audacity to think that Witt is promoting healthy waters from which fundamental Baptist pastors should drink. (See "From Southern Baptist to Goddess Worship: Sue Monk Kidd" and "Richard Foster: Evangelical's Mystical Sparkplug," and "Thomas Merton: The Catholic Buddhist Mystic" under the Contemplative Mysticism/Prayer section of the Article Database at www.wayoflife.org). This is only the most recent of dangerous authors that have been recommended by Paul Chappell and his associates.

Stone-Making Plants
Image of a phytolith (bulliform)
Psalm 30:12
"To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."
Have you ever wondered how you could get cut by a blade of grass or the edge of a palm leaf? Plants have a nasty secret. They absorb silica, the same stuff of which glass is made, and store it in their cells.
Some plants, like corn, store large mounts of silica on their leaves, making the edges of the leaves sharp andstrong enough to give you a nasty slash. And yes, they do this largely to protect themselves. Insects that like to eat plant leaves find that when they chew on plants with lots of silica, their mouth parts wear out faster. Plants also store silica between their cells, giving them a strong, stony skeleton.
These silica particles made by plants are called phytoliths, which literally means "plant stones." Chemically they are colorless and transparent opals. They can range in size from a thousandth of a millimeter to a millimeter. Each plant forms phytoliths that are unique in shape, and some plants make up to a dozen different types. After the plant has died and decayed, the phytoliths and their unique shapes remain in the soil. This means that with a microscope and a good knowledge of which plants make which phytoliths, you could examine the soil and tell which plants have grown there in the past. This is how scientists learned that the Indians were growing corn in South America 2,500 years before the birth of Christ!
God's creation is filled with wonderful surprises. And every one of them glorifies Him!

Bible prophecy indicates that Israel will continue to be under the heel of the Gentile powers until she repents during the time of Jacob's Trouble. This era, called "the Times of the Gentiles," began when Jerusalem was destroyed and Solomon's Temple razed by the Babylonian armies in 586 BC. Israel returned to the land 70 years later and rebuilt the Second Temple but it has never been in full control of its own affairs since then, for the simple reason that Israel has never repented of her sin against God. Israel has been under the power of Persia, Greece, Egypt, Rome, the Ottoman Empire, and England, and even since the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948 and in spite of her impressive military prowess and technological advances, Israel remains at the beck and call of Gentile nations.
In a recent UN vote, the world lined up in support of upgrading "the Palestinian Authority" to a "non-member observer state." This is a major move toward the recognition of the mythical "Palestinians" as a national entity. 138 countries voted in favor (including France, Turkey, Russia, and China), with 9 opposed, and 41 abstaining. Of major nations, only Canada joined America in opposing the vote, but both nations followed up in condemning Israel's announcement of building more houses in Jerusalem and the West Bank on her own territory! The move came after the Palestinians maliciously rained hundreds of rockets on Israel territory in a massive terrorist assault designed to destroy property and murder Jews.
I wonder how Canada would respond to such a thing? I know what America could do, even under Obama. And the U.N. vote came after Egyptian President Mahmoud Abbas preached "a defamatory and venomous speech that was full of mendacious propaganda against Israel" (Benjamin Netanyahu, "Palestinian Vote," International Herald Tribune, Dec. 1-2, 2012). And it came after Hamas affirmed that it does not recognize Israel's right to exist in any form.
The Muslim nations and the Arabs, many of whom are sons of Ishmael, are not interested in a "two state solution." They still hate Isaac and are only interested in wiping Israel off the map, as we have documented in the illustrated Israel: Past, Present, and Future, which is available in print and eBook editions from www.wayoflife.org. "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it" (Zec. 12:3).

The Apple Store: A Window into the New Age
photo by D. Cloud
I love Apple equipment, but on recent visits to Apple stores in two different countries, I realized that these are true windows into the New Age. Indeed, the New Age is very much here, as documented in the book The New Age Tower of Babel. An Apple Store represents one-worldlism in a breathe-taking manner.
The super high-tech, mysterious, uber-cool, highly desirable gadgets are designed in America, manufactured in China and elsewhere, and distributed throughout the earth. The Apple Store represents a global pop culture, a global mindset, a syncretized religion and philosophy, a libertarian morality, unisexualism, any-sexualism, rabid commercialism, covetousness, human arrogance in the face of Divine claims, and the mad pursuit of pleasure and wealth, all rushing pell-mell toward the end without a clue of what the future holds, all energized by "the god of this world." An Apple Store is a major sign of the times in light of Bible prophecy.
An Apple Store represents the end-time Mystery Babylon. When Nimrod and his cohorts, Asshur, etc., built ancient Babel they intended to unite mankind around the very things represented by an Apple Store, to build a comfortable, pleasurable world in which man could pursue his own desires apart from the restraints of the Creator God and His holy laws. It would have worked, except God confounded the project by the simple tactic of multiplying human tongues, which effectually divided men into nations, and they have been divided ever since, not only by language, but by color, religion, philosophy, culture, etc., and separated further by a thousand human biases and animosities and fiercely-held opinions.
That was God's plan for the past 4,000 plus years, but the time has come for the new Babylon to be built with its world language and world religion and world culture, as we see in Revelation 17-18. The barriers are falling and a New Age is progressing. At some point, when the Spirit of God completes His program of calling out a body of saints from among the nations in this present age, the Man of Sin will take the throne and everything will be ready for the devil's next-to-final hurrah (the final one occurring at the end of the Millennium).
God's people need to wisely use the technology and great opportunities of these days to fulfill the Great Commission in constant submission to God's Word, which is our purpose until the very hour of the Rapture, but we must be very careful not to be captured by this world's siren call.
An iPhone, an iPad, a Mac laptop (or Samsung or Kindle or a Surface or whatever) can be used for the glory and service of Christ, but there are very real spiritual dangers for the unwary and spiritually careless. In these trying times we must be on our knees and in God's Word and in God's house more than ever. (What has been said of Apple can be said of nearly all of the Western global merchandising corporations. They are as much about preaching a cultural philosophy as they are about delivering goods and services.)

The Queen James Bible
Now this foolish generation, which is lurching from one stupid and wicked thing to another as it stumbles along in spiritual darkness, farther and farther from the truth, has produced a "Gay Pride" Bible.
It's called the Queen James Bible, and it is $34.95 on Amazon. It claims that only eight verses in the King James Bible oppose homosexuality, but that's no problem because all eight have been "reinterpreted" in this Bible. Homosexual activists, if they address the Bible at all, claim that it is opposed only to forceful and violent homosexual acts, such as rape, and to homosexuality performed in the context of ancient idolatrous temple cults, and that it does not addresses homosexuality in general and homosexuality in the context of "a loving, committed relationship."
So the Queen James Bible changes Genesis 15:5 to read, "And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may rape and humiliate them." That is clever, but it is not what the Hebrew says. The Queen James Bible translator simply made this up. And it is not what the New Testament defines as the sin of Sodom. Jude says the city was given over to fornication and going after strange flesh (Jude 7). I have heard it said that Jesus did not address homosexuality, but that is nonsense. He addressed marriage and pointed back to Genesis 2 as the divine standard for all men of all centuries (Matthew 19:4-6).
Jesus taught that holy matrimony is a divine institute in which one male and one female are united for life. Jesus was opposed, therefore, to "sameSex marriage." The Bible plainly and irrefutably teaches that any sexual relationship outside of or in addition to holy marriage is a grave sin called either fornication or adultery. "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4). The Queen James Bible publisher also dusts off the old claim that King James I was a homosexual. Having examined the evidence for that, I am convinced it was a slander, but even if it were true, it means nothing, because King James himself is no authority to the Bible believer, and he had nothing to do with the actual translation of the English Authorized Bible. (See "Was King James a Homosexual" at the Way of Life web site for more on that. There is an efficient search engine.)

"Liquid Air" Mimics God's System
Premature infant with ventilator
Genesis 2:7
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Before birth, a developing baby breathes amniotic fluid, which delivers dissolved oxygen to the lungs. When very premature babies are born, they often have difficulty breathing because their lungs lack a substance that enables them to get oxygen from the air. The result is often chronic lung disease or other permanent damage.
But now researchers are testing something that is popularly called "liquid air." This liquid, a perfluorocarbon, can carry oxygen to the immature lungs of the infant who is not yet ready to breathe air, much like the amniotic fluid the child would be breathing had it not been born prematurely. Animal tests suggest that infants who were born after only 20 weeks of gestation could be helped to survive through the use of this "liquid air."
Researchers had to admit that if infants can survive at only 20 weeks, some hard questions are raised about current abortion practices. Yet, pro abortion feeling is so strong in some parts of society that researchers felt they had to disown the idea that they wanted even younger premature babies to survive. The development of "liquid air" is going to make it more difficult for some to support abortion as we now know it.
It has taken humans thousands of years of medical development to come up with an advance that begins to mimic the way an unborn infant gets oxygen. This makes it even more difficult to believe that mindless nature created the womb and much easier to believe that the womb is the creation of a loving and wise Creator.

'Threat becomes reality': Florence begins days of rain, wind
- by Darrel Baker
- in Sci-tech
- — Sep 14, 2018
Hurricane Florence carries a heavy risk of flash floods as it brings up to 13-foot storm surge and a possible 40 inches of rain to the Carolina coast.
Florence was expected to make landfall near Cape Fear, North Carolina, at midday local time (5pm Irish time), and forecasters said its size meant it could batter the US East Coast with hurricane-force winds for almost a full day.
About 10 million people live in the path of the slow-moving storm and more than 1 million had been ordered to evacuate the coasts of the Carolinas and Virginia, jamming westbound roads and highways for miles.
Florence, which is forecast to crawl up to the North Carolina coast later this week and turn slowly left, weakened Wednesday night as it continued toward the coastal Carolina areas, reported the National Hurricane Center.
"The storm sort of made me run a little faster, I live there in Charlotte and things are not going to be too good", said Dougherty.
The National Hurricane Center forecasts that it could be centered over southwestern Pennsylvania by early Tuesday morning, potentially bringing more rain to Maryland and another surge of floodwaters down an already swollen Susquehanna River.
Coastal towns in the Carolinas were largely empty, and schools and businesses closed as far south as Georgia.
Tropical storm conditions are expected for areas of the Carolinas on Thursday with hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or greater) projected for "late Thursday or Friday".
Two detention facilities in SC that are within government-mandated evacuation zones will not relocate inmates ahead of Hurricane Florence's landfall there.
Ghostly translucent creatures discovered 24,000 feet beneath the sea
The team tried to catch one of these fishes using an amphipod prey that one snailfish followed into one of the traps. The creatures can swim backwards and upside down, have long legs like a spider, and paddles to help them swim.
Breanna Stewart, Seattle Storm surge past Washington Mystics for WNBA title
The game, which saw Seattle overcome the Washington Mystics 98 - 82 for the sweep, was also up 33% from last year's Game 3. The club's first-ever trip to the WNBA Finals is even more impressive considering how much better the league is in 2018.
Athens prepares for Hurricane Florence, statewide emergency declared
In Carolina Beach, an island community off the coast of Wilmington, 75 percent of residents have already left town. The eye was about 530 miles southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina, moving west-northwest at 17 miles per hour.
As Florence drew near, President Donald Trump tweeted that FEMA and first responders are "supplied and ready", and he disputed the official conclusion that almost 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico, claiming the figure was a Democratic plot to make him look bad.
"I have no generator", said Petra Langston, a nurse.
It's the slow movement that could result in what the National Weather Service for Newport and Morehead City, North Carolina called possible "historical rainfall amounts" with "UNPRECEDENTED flooding". We will have tropical storm force winds and rain and storm surge continues to be our main concern with extreme flooding.
Heavy surf crashes the dunes at high tide in Nags Head, N.C., on September 13 as Hurricane Florence approaches the coast.
Even though the ISS is 400km above the storm, Florence is so huge that astronauts needed a wide-angle lens to capture the storm. Workers are being brought in from the Midwest and Florida to help in the storm's aftermath, it said.
With South Carolina's beach towns more in the bull's-eye because of the shifting forecast, OH vacationers Chris and Nicole Roland put off their departure from North Myrtle Beach to get the maximum amount of time on the sand. "If we lose the house, oh well, we can get housing".
Duke Energy Co. said Florence could knock out electricity to three-quarters of its 4 million customers in the Carolinas, and outages could last for weeks.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face".
Wild horses in the Rachel Carson Reserve in Beaufort, North Carolina will fend for themselves during Hurricane Florence.

Snapchat has begun a roll out update of its app to users which brings a couple of new interesting features.
The biggest new feature involves the inclusion of 2-Factor Authentication, which at this time involves sending an SMS to verify your login to a device. Once enabled, you are sent an SMS which enables the feature and allows you forget devices, as well as send a recover code if you lose your phone or change your mobile number.
The second feature added 'Battery filters — add a little something to your Snaps when you're all juiced up 🙂 or low on battery :(' simply adds a battery status on your snapchat when you swipe through the filters. When your battery is relatively full, it's green and when it's almost empty, it's red.

When it comes to window replacement, you have your work cut out for you. There are so many style options to choose from that replacing your windows can seem like an overwhelming task. From different materials to energy ratings to prices, the world of windows is at your fingertips. The most cost effective windows might not be the best window choice for you, but if you do your research, you should find a window that fits your needs and your budget.
Energy Efficient Windows
Most people who are shopping for window replacement list the efficiency of the windows as a primary concern. It's important to consider how much energy you lose out of your window seals when determining the best windows for your house. Windows are key to saving money on heating and cooling bills.
A lot of manufacturers have increased the energy efficiency of their windows by including argon-filled glazing or low-E coatings, and because these features are common, they are less expensive than they used to be.
With the recent federal tax credit, upgrading windows is one of the most popular home improvement projects today. However, some types of windows claim to be energy efficient when they're not. Always check to see if the window meets the criteria for the government's Energy Star program by looking for the Energy Star label.
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl windows comprise almost sixty-seven percent of the residential window market. Vinyl windows are relatively inexpensive, durable, reliable, and many have energy performance ratings. It is nearly indestructible, resistant to moisture, and insect and rot proof.
It would seem that vinyl is one of the most cost-effective windows and the best choice for your window replacement. However, one downside to vinyl is its appearance. The fusion-welded seams are unattractive, and the material is visibly synthetic. Off-the-shelf vinyl choices only include white and tan, so customization is necessary if you need additional colors.
Vinyl also isn't the most environmentally sustainable choice. PVC produces toxins, and the materials can last hundreds of years in the landfill. However, this durability translates to years of efficiency for you and your home. So, the long replacement cycle makes it one of the best types of windows for longevity.
Fiberglass Windows
A very small percentage of the population currently uses fiberglass windows, but they are gaining in popularity because of their reputation for durability and low maintenance. The prices are average, and it's stronger than vinyl, so it provides a good value for most homeowners. Fiberglass doesn't warp, rot, or crack.
While they come in a limited number of colors, you can paint them, and the surface provides great paint adhesion. Other brands produce a wood finish that looks natural. You can also get real wood frames that you can stain any color you want.
Fiberglass window production is relatively green because they don't require a lot of energy to produce. Manufacturers often fill the frame with foam insulation to increase the thermal performance of the window, making them more energy efficient.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum is decreasing in popularity because of the availability of cheaper options. Aluminum windows still have some features that make them the best for some residential window replacement projects. Aluminum is strong, so windows made with thin frames can still withstand harsh conditions, requiring the use of less material.
Less aluminum in their composition makes more room for glass, making these windows look bigger and providing more sunlight and visibility. Architects use these windows a lot to make their buildings look more beautiful and open. They are also manufactured in a large variety of colors.
However, aluminum is a poor thermal performer, and so it isn't well insulated. Because it expands and contracts easily, it puts a lot of strain on the seals. It doesn't rot or react to moisture, but it does suffer from corrosion, making it a terrible choice for people living near the coast.
If you have your heart set on aluminum, you can choose an aluminum clad option featuring a wood core wrapped in aluminum. These are better insulated, but they still don't provide the level of energy efficiency that vinyl or fiberglass does.
Wood Windows
Wood windows aren't as durable, they are prone to insects and rot, and they require constant attention. Not only that, but they cost far more. However, no other material provides the same beauty or comfort. Wood is still the preferred choice for homeowners looking for a natural, traditional looking window.
Wood windows have improved their insulation over the years, making them more energy efficient than they used to be, and they are easy to stain and paint, so they are ideal for custom needs. Wood is often used in restoration projects because you can make it look old and match other styles easily.
Because wood doesn't weather well, it needs regular maintenance, so they are more time consuming and may cost more up front and in the long run. Some manufacturers produce wood windows made from repurposed supplies, making them environmentally friendly.
Fiberglass is your best window replacement choice if you are looking for a balance of price, longevity, and energy efficiency. If you want something that gives you a more expansive portrait of the backyard, aluminum provides uncompromised views with more glass. If you are working on a restoration project or something that needs more customization, wood provides more options. Ultimately, it is up to you to choose the best window for your project and to achieve your window replacement goals.

Meet Your Maker - John Nady
"When I first started, people would say things like, 'You can buy a cord for five dollars, so why would anyone pay thousands of dollars for a cordless unit?' But one of my ideas was to bring the cost of wireless below that of some high-end cables, so I'd say, 'Look, in ten or 20 years, you're going to see that wireless will be less expensive than cords.' That was kind of my mantra 30 years ago. And, today, you can spend $100 for a Monster Cable or $69 for a UHF wireless."
As the technology came down in price, the rewards for Nady were huge when the company had a near monopoly on wireless systems in the '80s. But when the "big boys" (Shure, AKG, Audio-Technica, Samson, Sennheiser, etc.) entered the market in the late '80s and early '90s, Nady was faced with evolving its product line.
"The market muscle of a company like Shure—which had every music store in the world selling its audio gear—changed everything," remembers Nady. "When they came out with a low-priced wireless system, they could tell dealers, 'If you want to carry our SM58 mics, then you also must carry ten wireless units. Plus, there's a natural draw from an established name such as Shure. But, I have to admit it bugs me when I talk to someone who believes Shure invented the wireless microphone."
To address the new market climate, Nady—like fellow gear visionary Hartley Peavey—expanded his goal of bringing value to musicians. The new target was the pro-audio field.
"We looked at product niches, and brought in consumer-type margins," explains Nady. "For example, we determined back in 2001, that we could manufacture condenser microphones in China for a raw cost of $15, and then set a consumer price of 100 bucks. Some bigger companies operate on margins of 80 percent or more, so there was an opportunity for us to sell a comparable quality level for far less. We weren't the only ones doing this. Behringer has had great success doing some of these things—as have a lot of other manufacturers—and the result has been more affordable gear. But we were one of the first to offer that level of value in a quality line, across a number of products. We broke the $100 price barrier with rack gear—less than $99 EQs, less than $99 sound enhancers and compressor and limiters and so on. Basically, what we did was make audio products needed and used by musicians more accessible."
Nady's experience as a struggling musician in the early '70s still drives his passion for developing audio gear. He also understands product lines must adapt to the changing climate of what youthful musicians want, need, and can afford, as "you can't keep selling to 35 or 40 year olds who are hanging on to stuff they got 20 years ago."
"The current brand consciousness of Nady is to sell 100,000 units of something that costs 100 or 200 bucks, rather than selling the same amount in dollars with less units that cost $1,000," says Nady. "We're more focused on making music equipment for the broadest range of musicians who are looking for totally professional and
satisfying performance, but at prices that are acceptable. I think that's a noble undertaking. And, utimately, it's not the brand name, and it's not what you pay for it. It's about what you see when you open up the unit and look at its materials and configuration—that's
what determines quality. You also have to trust your ears. For example, in a known technology such as a ribbon microphone, you can pay $1,500 for the panache of a handmade model, or you can pay much less for a model with similar construction that will yield no substantial differences in final performance. Just because you pay more for something doesn't mean it's going to sound any better or hold up any longer."

If there is a strike, when would the strike happen? The Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act allows organized employees of the district to strike under certain conditions. Among these conditions, the union must file a strike notice at least 10 calendar days before the date that a strike may begin. This does not necessarily mean that a strike starts 10 days after that notice. The unions have internal procedures for voting to authorize a strike. The district received a strike notice March 2. The district does not control whether there is a strike or the timing of a strike. District officials will also continue to negotiate in good faith and plan on additional collective bargaining sessions.Do I have to participate in the strike? No. You have the right to decide how you wish to vote during any internal union vote to authorize a strike. You also have the right to decide whether to participate in a strike, or to instead remain at work (or to return to work) during a strike. Teachers and other district employees who are not members of the striking bargaining unit are required to come to work.Can I be fired for striking?A lawful strike is a protected activity under the law. The district will not discharge or otherwise retaliate against striking employees lawfully exercising their rights.
If I decide to remain at work or to return to work during the strike, could I be fined or otherwise penalized by the union? A union's constitution and/or bylaws may allow a union to impose fines or assess penalties against its members who "cross" a picket line during a strike and who return to or remain at work during a strike. The district welcomes you to continue to work during a strike regardless of whether you belong to the union. However, in fairness to you and in order to avoid union fines or penalties you may wish to resign from the union before crossing the picket line and/or returning to work during a strike.
Will I be paid during a strike? What happens to my benefits?Employees who choose to strike will not be paid by the district during the strike. Additionally, and depending on the length and the timing of the strike, they may or may not remain eligible to receive health and dental insurance benefits from the district while they are on strike. If they do not remain eligible for those benefits, striking employees will have to pay the full cost of their health and dental insurance during the period of the strike, including the amount normally contributed by the district.
Can I use vacation or sick time during a strike?Employees who choose to strike will not be eligible to take vacation or sick leave. Can I collect unemployment benefits during a strike?Striking workers are generally ineligible for unemployment benefits. According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), workers may be disqualified from unemployment benefits when they are out of work because of a labor dispute. For more information, follow this link to a publication from the IDES. If I participate in the strike, will others be hired to do my job during the strike? How does this affect me after a strike?The district continues to negotiate with the unions in good faith and plans on additional collective bargaining sessions with each union. Nevertheless, the district must develop plans to continue its operations in the event of a strike. Along these lines, the district is free to hire temporary replacements for striking workers to maintain educational support services. In certain instances, the law permits the district to hire permanent replacement workers. If permanent replacement workers are hired, then workers returning from a strike would have preferential rights to vacancies, but only if any vacancies exist. If I choose not to strike, how will my pay be impacted during the strike period?Employees who choose not to strike and continue to show up to work will receive their normal rate of pay and benefits in keeping with the district's January 27, 2017 Implementation of its Last, Best and Final Offer. If I choose not to strike, do I become an at-will employee?The position does not convert to an at-will position. As noted above, the pay and benefits for an employee who chooses to continue to show up for work will be the pay and benefits as outlined in the district's January 27, 2017 Implementation of its Last, Best and Final Offer. Employees who choose not to strike continue to be union members and continue to be represented by the union. Can the district outsource my job? The Illinois School Code permits the district to contract with third parties to provide non-instructional services that are currently performed by district employees. This contracting must take place after the expiration of any bargaining agreement. In this case, the collective bargaining agreements with the unions expired on June 30, 2016. The district will explore this option and solicit bids from third party contractors with regard to bus drivers and nutritional services.
The district will provide many opportunities for employees, the unions, and the general public to learn about and discuss this contracting option. Consistent with the School Code, further information regarding submitted bids will be available during at least one public School Board meeting, and there will also be a public hearing prior to the award of any contract. The district will continue to negotiate with the unions in good faith and plans on additional collective bargaining sessions with each union.
If the district outsources my job, what happens to my job? When would it happen?In the event the district selects a contract for a third party to provide non-instructional services currently performed by district employees, the positions covered by the contract will be eliminated, and those employees will be laid off by the district. Employees will receive 90 days' notice prior to any lay off.
In many cases, employees will be eligible to perform the same work for the contractor. The School Code requires that the awarded contract must offer available positions under the contract to the district's qualified employees who lost their jobs because of the contract. Additionally, the contract must provide a benefits package for the contractor's employees, which is comparable to the benefits provided to district employees who perform those services. Finally, the contract must contain nondiscrimination and equal employment opportunity for all persons.
Where can I get more information about the negotiations, offers and benefits? The district provides a publicly-available, detailed "Negotiations Update" on its website.

Hot Shooting Helps Huskies Defeat Northern State 104-82
ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud State men's basketball team couldn't miss from the field last (Friday) night shooting a season-high 64 percent from the field on their way to a 104-82 victory over Northern State.
Six huskies scored in double figures for the night, led by redshirt freshman Gage Davis who put up 25 points on 10-for-14 shooting. Other contributors were junior Scottie Stone (18 points and five rebounds) and junior Mark Hall (12 points and five assists).
The Northern State Wolves put four players in double figures led by Skye Warwick's 20 points.
Along with shooting a season best from the field the Huskies also hit 63 percent from behind the arc (10-for-16).
With the win the Huskies improve to 12-13 overall and 9-10 in the NSIC. They look to wrap up the home regular season tonight (Saturday) against No. 11 MSU Moorhead at Halenbeck Hall starting at 6:00 p.m.

The Network was recently contacted by the director of a local health department in Arizona who asked for information, including model policies, regarding isolation and quarantine procedures. The Network provided the requestor with a number of resources, both general and specific to Arizona.
Over the years a number of model acts, which highlight public health best practices have been created as a basis for future legislation, which also may provide some guidance for county quarantine and isolation policies.
For example, the Turning Point Model State Public Health Act, is designed to modernize and transform the public health system. Article V discusses general conditions and principles that local public health agencies should consider and abide by when instituting quarantine and isolation as well as the general procedures such authorities should follow. The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA), developed as a guide for public health law reform, grants strong public health powers to state and local authorities to allow them to respond to emergencies. Article VI sets out conditions and procedures that should be followed during quarantine and isolation, with a focus on situations during declared emergencies.

One doesn't have to reach too far back to remember annual State of the City luncheons sponsored by the League of Women Voters in Cedar Rapids that had a little dash and theater.
Mayors Lee Clancey and Paul Pate, who served as mayor six and four years respectively, come to mind.
Pate and his right-hand man, Doug Wagner, had multimedia. They handed out CDs trumpeting the progress the city had been making.
Pate even broke with the League of Women Voters a little, not sure he liked the idea that the event was a moneymaker, a fund raiser, for the group. At one point, Pate held the event at the Paramount Theatre, not at lunch, but at the end of the afternoon.
In reaction, the League said it held the copyright to the very name of the annual speech – State of the City.
Pate countered, celebrating a month of State of the City events.
Again, it wasn't without a little theater back then.
At lunch on Tuesday, 359 people were on hand in a ballroom at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel to listen to Mayor Kay Halloran and City Manager Jim Prosser.
The timing was a little messed up at the start.
The sit-down for lunch began at 11:30 a.m., but there was much eating yet to do when the mayor took to the microphone to deliver her speech. It was hard to hear for the clank of flatware on dishes as many in attendance went on eating as she went on speaking.
The speech was a reprise of the one Halloran had given at the end of February before the start of a city council meeting. The city charter requires the mayor to give an annual update before the end of February, and so she took the speech out for a first airing then.
This time, after her speech — one of its points was that the city was ready for a leap ahead — Prosser joined her on the dais for questions from the audience.
Keep in mind: The city has a part-time council/city manager government now. Questions from the public, they say at City Hall, often can be about the "operational." And city managers, they say, are the nuts-and-bolts operation types.
Prosser, who can toss in flashes of stand-up, did much of the answering.
He said it was not "desirable" for the city to have waste water being pumped into storm sewers and then waterways at times of significant rain. He said the city was working to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency order requiring the city to meet Clean Water Act standards.
Halloran noted that the city on Tuesday had received notice of a $200,000 grant from the EPA for an unrelated matter — brownfield clean-up.
"We're good guys and bad guys all at the same time," Halloran quipped, suggesting the EPA still liked the city.
Prosser noted that the winter had been tough on the city. He said it would take another few weeks to get the streets cleaned up, and he said this summer would bring more street repair than the city had anticipated because of the winter weather.
He added, though, that the city had "strong reserves" and the ability to borrow to take care of such problems.
Among other answers:
— Prosser said the city needed the proposed new transit facility in an "appropriate place" other than the location of the city's current Ground Transportation Center bus depot. The new facility will be served by city buses, NTS neighborhood vans, LIFTs buses and inter-city buses, he said.
— He and Halloran both said the city needed the ability to diversify its sources of revenue so commercial and industrial property owners don't carry such a large load of the cost of city government. A legislative proposal introduced by Rep. Tyler Olson, D-Cedar Rapids, would help by giving cities the ability to raise revenue via a 1 percent sales tax, a 5 percent fee on utility bills, a tobacco tax and other means. Both Prosser and Halloran doubted state lawmakers would do much on the bill until those in Tuesday's luncheon audience got behind the tax idea. Prosser acknowledged that non-profits would face some of the new fees.
— Prosser said "the next frontier" for cities like Cedar Rapids is figuring out how to attract a work force in the years ahead. It won't happen unless cities add amenities, different and varied kinds of housing, including downtown housing, and attractions like the city's proposed RiverWalk, he said. He noted that some of the city's top employers have been helping work the Iowa Legislature to secure state help for the RiverWalk and downtown revitalization. The City Council has made it "crystal clear" that downtown revitalization is vital to its vision of the city as "a vibrant, urban hometown."
— Halloran said young college graduates often feel they need to leave for places where they can earn more so they can pay off deep college debts.
— Prosser said city staff and the city's two hospitals have been talking about the creation of a "hospital corridor" and the development of housing in that corridor to help with the hospitals' work force needs.
— Prosser said the city was only as strong as its weakest neighborhood as is a block only as strong as its weakest home. "Neighborhoods: That's where lives are shaped. That's where kids grow up," he said.
— Prosser said the Police Department was a "pretty resilient group," suggesting that officers were working hard even if some in the department weren't happy with some changes there.
— No, he didn't expect to get an assistant city manager any time soon, calling it "a little indulgent for us to do that at this time."
At the end, Prosser and Halloran were asked about the public comment period at City Council meetings in which the current council has decided not to engage in back-and-forth interaction with the people making comments.
Prosser said he wanted to drive home the point that citizens have numerous ways to interact with his staff and council members other than the public comment period at two council meetings a month.
Halloran noted that many of the items raised during public comment periods are "operational" questions. By that, she means questions about the day-to-day operation of city government that are the responsibility of the city manager and his staff.
It's not different at council meetings, Halloran told the audience, than it had been just then, during the State of the City question-and-answer session. That's why Prosser talked most, she said.

But as Rhody often mentions during his performances, "Royalties don't last forever, as many may think. It's all about current activity. I was very fortunate to have landed with a great publisher in 1976, staying with them for ten years. But performing has always been what I love to do best and is also what has kept me going over the years." In addition to his music, Rhody, is also an accomplished painter and a graduate of The Art Center School, University of Louisville. He's won a few awards in painting over the years and exhibits whenever possible and usually has hand-painted T-shirts available at his performances. His website includes an Art Page with a few samples of his work. www.alanrhody.com "Music City troubadour Alan Rhody has a new CD titled Farther On. It features his songwriting collaborations with Guy Clark, Murray McLauchlan and Don Henry, as well as a feast of solo works. Not the least of which is his No. 1 hit sung by The Oak Ridge Boys in 1978. Rhody's guitar-vocal version is stunning, revealing just how powerful the original, long version of the song really is. This fellow is one of those rare individuals who can hold you completely spellbound with just his axe and his voice." -Robert K. Oermann, music critic, author, historian.

OFFICIAL TIE-IN TO THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 12 STRONG, STARRING CHRIS HEMSWORTH On September 11th, 2001 the world watched in terror. On September 12th, 2001 they volunteered to fight. Twelve soldiers gave us a reason to hope.THE DECLASSIFIED TRUE STORY OF THE HORSE SOLDIERS. This is the dramatic account of a small band of Special Forces soldiers who entered Afghanistan immediately following September 11, 2001 and, riding to war on horses, defeated the Taliban. Outnumbered 40 to 1, they capture the strategic Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif, and thereby effectively defeat the Taliban throughout the rest of the country. They are welcomed as liberators as they ride on horses into the city, the streets thronged with Afghans overjoyed that the Taliban have been kicked out. The soldiers rest easy, as they feel they have accomplished their mission. And then, the action takes a wholly unexpected turn. During a surrender of Taliban troops, the Horse Soldiers are ambushed by the would-be P.O.W.s and, still dangerously outnumbered, they must fight for their lives in the city's ancient fortress known as Qala-I Janghi, or the House of War . . .Praise for Doug Stanton:- 'A thrilling action ride of a book.' New York Times 'As gripping as the most intricately-plotted thriller.' Vince Flynn 'A riveting story of the brave and resourceful American warriors who rode into Afghanistan after 9/11 and waged war against Al Qaeda.' Tom Brokaw 'This reads like a cross between an old-fashioned Western and a modern spy thriller.' Parade Magazine 'Spellbinding...action-packed prose. The book reads more like a novel.' USA Today

Discover the interview of Creative by definition.
How did you become designer ?
Since I can remember I was passionate about art, design, beautiful creations that attract the eye, challenge the brain and increase the power of imagination.
I started my design journey by studying architecture and after graduating I also took retail design & packaging design specialized courses.
Right now, I'm combining all my professional experience with my love for gourmet cuisine and as result I'm transforming packaging design into "miniature architecture".
How would you define your vision of design, your style ?
My current style is minimalistic at first glance, complicated structured if analyzed in detail, with a twist of irony and a little bit of humor.
However, because I'm focused on constantly learning, innovating, testing revolutionary materials or reinventing old techniques, my style is still in a continuous transformation.
For the future, what are your professional projects ?
A very important future project will be to make the packaging design studio – CreativeByDefinition – that I've created in the last couple of years, grow more so it has the strength to create bespoke packaging designs that will travel the world.
Having our packaging designs on retail shelves from Indonesia to Italy will just be amazing.
What do you like the most in your job ?
Firstly I would like to say that for me is more than a job.
It is a sensitive balance between passion, hard work, craft, innovation, storytelling, making people smile, creating art that people can enjoy in their everyday live.
In the end it is all about improving the retail experience and generating change.
One of the things I like most, is the opportunity of helping founder-led companies – the rare amazing people that have dreams they want to transform in real products, to tell their story using a bold visionary approach.
I would like to launch soon a pro-bono packaging design project – where we would like to invite dedicated start-ups to contact us. We decided that once a year we will commit in creating one pro-bono project that values rare vision and originality more than anything else.

Sometimes it may happen that Magento wouldn't allow you to login in your admin panel even though you are doing everything by the book. The problem isn't with Magento but it's with your browser. Usually it is seen in all the browsers except the one in which you installed your Magento setup. It's not limited to those browsers though. Sometimes it may happen in the default installation browser as well.
When we try to access admin panel from such browsers and it does not login or display any error in it. It just keeps the login screen as it is. The problem is with localhost. Localhost is not a true domain or a real server. Therefore cookies aren't generated. When we login through Magento it checks for a real domain first and when such domain isn't found it prevents us from accessing the admin panel. (Or even doesn't let do anything that may require use of cookies.) We can try using the IP of local (127.0.0.1) but that doesn't work sometimes either. To solve this we need to tell Magento to not check for true domain when we are using localhost. To let Magento know to skip this security check when we are developing or testing our site in localhost we need to tweak the code a bit.
First of all copy this file in your local folder.
then fine the following code in it:
if (isset($cookieParams['domain'])) {
$cookieParams['domain'] = $cookie->getDomain();
replace that code with:
if (isset($cookieParams['domain']) && !in_array("127.0.0.1", self::getValidatorData())) {
You're done! Clear the cache and keep your fingers crossed!
Happy coding 🙂

After a year hiatus, Taipei's Digital Art Center reopens this month with a new management team that promises to "bring a brand new start to the landscape of the digital art industry." As part of a series of events that celebrate the center's second coming, an inaugural exhibition about the use of home appliances in artistic practices will be on view next month. The Romance of Home Appliance brings together 11 Taiwanese artists who work in various mediums, including sound, performance, installation, video and new media art. The show questions the idea of lifetime warranty and the inevitable process of malfunction, misuse, inconvenience and abandonment that each home product undergoes throughout its lifetime. Tsai Yu-ting's (蔡玉廷) Make-believe (2018) involves a series of plastic mold casts of Taiwanese 80's home appliances. The work reflects upon the relationship between domestic products and family life and how their histories are intertwined. Peng Yi-hsuan's (彭奕軒) The Death of Light (2016) is an expansive field of mosquito lamps placed in an orderly grid fashion. The lamps radiate a neon blue light that would be familiar to any household in Taiwan. Kuo Yi-chen's (郭奕臣) Full HD TV-Buddha is an installation of machine dialogue that pays homage to the work of Korean media art pioneer Nam Jun Paik. A series of workshops, talks and performances are scheduled throughout the exhibition period. The performance of Liu Fang-yi (劉芳一), Zhang Ke-yang (張可揚) and Hsieh Feng-chen (謝奉珍) will take place on July 6. For more information, visit the center's Web site: dac.taipei.
■ Digital Art Center (台北數位藝術中心), 180, Fuhua Rd, Taipei City (台北市福華路180號), tel: (02) 7736-0708. Open Tuesdays to Sundays from 10am to 6pm

Soundwatch is an experimental audio art studio founded in 2011 by sound artists Wang Fu-jui (王福瑞) and Lu Yi (盧藝). The studio was created to represent the collaborative efforts of the two artists, who also maintain their own separate art practices. Wang is a pioneer of sound art who has played a prominent role since the 1990s in shaping Taiwan's sound art scene. He is known for founding NOISE, Taiwan's first experimental music label and magazine. Lu Yi is a sound artist with a background in art education; her practice involves live sound performances, workshops and new media installations. Digilog opens a collaborative exhibition tomorrow by the duo, Soundwatch X SoundObject Exhibition. The exhibition showcases a number of handmade electronic objects that combine sound art and noise aesthetics. Lu Yi's Little Sonic is a series of glowing alien creatures that each embody a sound control chip. The project is an extension of her regular engagement with children workshops. Wang's Tape Loop is a looped tape that creates a meditative sound. In addition to the objects on view, an updated pamphlet of the studio's work and mission is available at the gallery.
■ Digilog (Digilog聲響工作室), 2F, 2-1, Alley 2, Ln 244, Roosevelt Rd Sec 3, Taipei City (台北市羅斯福路三段244巷2弄2-1號2樓), tel: (02) 2363-8171. Open Mondays to Saturdays from 1:30pm to 7:30pm
■ Until Sept 1
Project Fulfill Art Space presents Defection from Definition, a solo exhibition by Taiwanese painter Chen Chien-jung (陳建榮). Growing up at a time when toy models were popular, Chen developed an interest in their instruction manuals, rather than the toys themselves. In this context, Chen's work consistently explores the potential of two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional objects. What is the correlation between the real and the imaginary, the abstract and the concrete? The artist, through painting, consistently works through such questions that concern "the meaning behind the existence of painting," writes the gallery. Chen's current show features new developments in his well-known series Landscape and Aircraft. His paintings draw heavily from technical drawings and architectural plans; the functional renditions of order and precision are abstracted into poignant impressions of color fields, shapes and lines. Aircraft 17 is an abstract landscape of industrial order framed within a thick border of white and red. Landscape 131 is a less abstracted interpretation of systematic order that encourages questions of rational planning of living spaces.

Oxygen sensing, vasculogenesis & disease

Controlling angiogenesis via endothelial metabolism
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, plays a crucial role in numerous diseases, including cancer. Anti-angiogenesis therapies have been developed to deprive the tumor of nutrients. Clinically approved anti-angiogenic drugs offered prolonged survival to numerous cancer patients. However, the success of anti-angiogenic VEGF-targeted therapy is limited in certain cases by intrinsic refractoriness and acquired resistance. New strategies are needed to block tumor angiogenesis via alternative mechanisms.
Peter Carmeliet is Director of the VIB - Vesalius Research Center, at the University of Leuven in Belgium. He graduated as Doctor in Medicine in 1984, and completed his PhD in Medicine in 1989. During his Postdoctoral work at the Whitehead Institute, MIT in Cambridge USA, he acquired the knockout technology. After his return to Leuven in 1992, Carmeliet started his own research group with a focus on blood vessels and the role of VEGF in angiogenesis. By developing transgenic mice lacking VEGF, he discovered that VEGF is a key player in angiogenesis. Carmeliet has made contributions to the understanding of how blood vessels grow (angiogenesis) in health and disease. His findings have led to the (pre)clinical development of novel therapeutic strategies for angiogenic diseases. Carmeliet also showed that PlGF is a disease-restricted candidate in many angiogenic disorders and tested the therapeutic potential of anti-PlGF.

Guidance of vascular patterning
My laboratory studies vascular and lymphatic development, with particular interests in mechanisms that direct vascular patterning and guidance. In blood vessels, specialized endothelial cells called tip cells localized at the extremities of growing capillary sprouts mediate guided vascular patterning. Tip cells exhibit characteristic features, including extension of filopodia that explore the tip cell environment, lack of a lumen and a slow proliferation rate. Following behind tip cells, other endothelial cells termed stalk cells form the capillary lumen and proliferate. Tip cell formation is coordinated by the interplay between VEGF and Notch signaling. VEGF promotes tip cell selection, while activation of Notch inhibits tip cells formation and promotes the stalk cell phenotype. Capillary sprouting also shows morphological similarities to axon guidance.Like axonal growth cones, endothelial tip cells extend filopodia that sense and respond to guidance cues provided by soluble, cell- or matrix-bound ligands. We have identified several key molecules regulating capillary and lymphatic guidance, including the netrin receptor UNC5B, Robo4 and the Neuropilin1 and 2 receptors. Molecules regulating capillary patterning and guidance in development also operate during pathological angiogenesis and therefore represent targets for mediating vessel growth in cardiovascular disease.

Therapeutic Potential of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
My laboratory studies vascular growth factors to facilitate therapeutics development for cardiovascular diseases and cancer. – Because of the importance of the growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, in tumor progression, the first anti-angiogenic agents have been approved for clinical use. However, most patients are either refractory or eventually acquire resistance to anti-angiogenic therapeutics. A combination of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis inhibitors based on solid knowledge of the major interacting angiogenesis signaling pathways could be used to significantly advance the efficacy of tumor therapy.
The idea of proangiogenic therapy is to grow new functional blood vessels and thus restore blood flow to ischemic tissue. Several attempts have been made to stimulate angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in tissue ischemia, but with limited success. A coronary vascular growth factor has recently stimulated renewed interest in such therapy in cardiac ischemia. The growth of lymphatic vessels, lymphangiogenesis, is actively involved in a number of pathological processes including tissue inflammation and tumor dissemination but is insufficient in patients suffering from lymphedema, a debilitating condition characterized by chronic tissue edema and impaired immunity. Lymphangiogenic growth factors provide possibilities to treat these diseases.
Preclinical studies indicate that there considerable potential for the development of therapeutics based on the biological functions of vascular endothelial growth factors.
Dr. Kari Alitalo is a tenured Research Professor of the Finnish Academy of Sciences and Director of the Centre of Excellence at the Biomedicum Helsinki research institute of the University of Helsinki in Finland. He obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Helsinki and did his postdoctoral studies with Drs. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus in San Francisco, CA, USA. He has isolated and characterized several tyrosine kinases, growth factor receptors and their ligands. He cloned the first lymphangiogenic growth factor VEGF-C and its receptor VEGFR-3, and isolated lymphatic endothelial cells, showing that this pathway is required for angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Dr. Alitalo also discovered the angiogenic Tie pathway and cloned the VEGF-B growth factor in collaboration with Dr. Ulf Eriksson. In addition, he has devised molecular therapies for lymphedema that are now entering clinical trials. His studies led to the demonstration of VEGF-C induced tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, intralymphatic tumor growth, the association of VEGF-C with tumor metastasis and its inhibition by blocking the VEGFR-3 signal transduction pathway. Inhibitors and activators of this pathway have now been approved for clinical trials.

Stunning colour there.ReplyDelete
One of my favourite flowers ever! Love your photos of it too.ReplyDelete
Oh Pip, what a glorious colour, great pictures too. I have a flowering gum, a salmon pink (I think) I haven't seen it for over a year, haven't been able to make the trip downhill for over a year since my THR operation. Maybe today I'll attempt the trek with my walking frame.ReplyDelete
beautiful photos, wish I could take photos like it.!ReplyDelete
I have flowering gums just down the street, they are gorgeous.
I adore the photo's from you latest two entry's. Wow! Stunning. Your garden is lovely, I bet!ReplyDelete
Hi Sandra, I just take lot and lots of photos on macro and eventually I get some good ones.ReplyDelete
Hello to The ? actually my garden is not lovely at the moment, summer in South Australia isn't very kind to gardens so it is very brown, it looks best in spring.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I'll try and reply in a timely manner, usually by email, if you are a no-reply commenter then I will reply directly to your comment which means you will have to come back to see it :)
