The All New Post Formats in WordPress 3.6
Post formats are set to get a major shake up in version 3.6 of WordPress.
And it will be hard to miss them – post formats will be smack bang above the editor, all in a neat row of large icons.
Since 3.1, post formats have been a theme feature that allow users to add context to what they post – beautiful photos can be posted as an "image", a quotation you've stumbled across on a site can be posted as a "quote", a film clip you've put together on your smart phone can be posted as a "video". You get the picture.
Essentially, post formats are a piece of meta information can be used by a theme to customize how a post looks. Using a theme that support port formats, users can change how each post looks by choosing a post format.
The "Format" box in the current version is not all that inspiring – it's a small, flat-looking menu of radio buttons. Blink and you will miss them underneath the "Publish" button.
There are now 10 different post types for users to choose from:
- Standard – Just your typical post.
- Image – A single image. You can either upload an image or enter an URL.
- Gallery – A series of images.
- Link – A link to another website.
- Video – A single video. You can upload a video or enter a video embed code or URL.
- Audio – An audio file. Upload a file or paste an audio embed code into the box.
- Chat – A chat transcript. Just copy and paste it into the editor.
- Status – Much like Facebook or Twitter, a short status update.
- Quote – A quotation.
- Aside – A quick thought or idea.
When you click on each post type, rather than a pop-up opening where you can insert a link or image, the UI changes and provides you options. For example, when you want to add audio, the UI will shift to allow you to enter an audio embed code or select audio from your media library.
The biggest change is that now users will have to make a decision about what kind of post they want to publish before they choose a post format, whereas in the past post formats were more of an after thought.
With the new post formats in 3.6, it will be easier than ever to quickly post videos of Ryan Gosling not wanting to eat this cereal!
Now Where Have We Seen This Before…?
The new post formats in WordPress are a lot like those in Tumblr.
When you login to Tumblr the first thing you see is the colorful post formats banner at the top of the page.
The stripped back icons are clear and intuitive to use (just click the post format you want to use and the UI changes so you can insert your images/post/video etc, similar to the new WordPress post formats).
It's no wonder WordPress is also wandering down this path, as Matt Mullenweg has previously said, he wants to "eradicate some of the complexity that WordPress is usually associated with."
So is WordPress turning into Tumblr? Well, yes and no… The dashboard is still available and sidebar is still on hand in addition to the post formats banner. The popularity of Tumblr just goes to show how interface simplification is important in the blogging market and WordPress is acknowledging that by borrowing similar post format features from Tumblr.

Is it Latest Symptom of Global Warming? | Herpes Treatment Medications
Oyster Herpes: Is it Latest Symptom of Global Warming?
Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 by Doctor in Herpes Treatment
Don't worry— oyster herpes isn't a new side effect of eating "the food of love."
The incurable, deadly virus is, however, alarming fishing communities in Europe, where oyster herpes seems to be spreading—and could go on spreading as seas continue to warm, experts say.
In July lab testing of farmed oysters detected the first known United Kingdom cases of herpes in the shellfish. The virus has already killed between 20 to 100 percent of breeding Pacific oysters in some French beds in 2008, 2009, and 2010, according to the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer).
The reason for oyster herpes's emergence in Pacific oysters off England remains a mystery, though global warming may have played a part, experts speculate.
A new strain named Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) ?var (mew-var), the virus remains dormant until water temperatures exceed 16 C [61 degrees F], which U.K. waters reach in the height of summer, according to Kevin Denham of the British government's Fish Health Inspectorate.
With that in mind, Tristan Renault, director of Ifremer's genetic and pathology lab, said that global warming "could be an explanation of the appearance of this particular type of the virus."
Though all herpes strains are DNA-based viruses, herpes, which infects everything from cows to clams to monkeys, comes in a wide variety of species, each with their own unique set of symptoms. Among humans, perhaps the best known forms are the Herpes simplex viruses, which are spread through close contact and can manifest themselves as oral and genital blisters.
Ostreid herpes viruses are known to affect not only oysters but also clams, scallops, and other mollusks, according to Renault.
The New Oyster Herpes
Herpes-infected shellfish aren't new to science, but in 2008—the first year a huge increase in mortality rates was detected in France—Ifremer detected a new variation of the virus.
Like the other strains of herpes that affect mollusks, OsHV-1 ?var attacks young oysters during breeding season, when the mollusks' bodies are so focused on producing sperm and eggs that the oysters have no energy to maintain an immune system, Renault said.
But OsHV-1 ?var is "more virulent than strains we identified before," Renault said, adding that the virus is so efficient at killing its hosts that it can wipe out 80 percent of the oysters in a bed within a week.
That death rate is the only outward sign something's wrong, he added, because a oyster herpes have no visible symptoms, and diagnosis is possible only through lab testing.
Oyster Herpes Appears in Britain
Though oyster herpes can't be transmitted to humans, it does threaten the fishing industry, since dead oysters are unsafe for eating—and that's exactly what worries oyster harvesters such as Seasalter Shellfish.
Based in the southeastern English city of Whitstable, where oysters have been harvested for centuries, Seasalter this summer became the first company to discover the herpes-ravaged oysters in the U.K.
The finding prompted an investigation by the Fish Health Inspectorate, which detected the virus and learned that Seasalter had employed equipment previously used in France to refurbish oyster beds.
"We were told it had been out of the water for a number of years," Denham said. "Nevertheless there's still a possibility" that the virus could have traveled from infected French beds via the gear. Possible culprits also include other reused equipment or water transferred from an infected area.
Could Oyster Herpes Spread?
To keep the U.K. oyster-herpes outbreak from spreading, the British government has banned the shipping of oysters out of affected areas, most of which, like Whitstable, are around the mouth of the River Thames in southeastern England.
No matter what measures are taken, Denham said, oyster herpes is going to be tough to kick. Even if all the infected Pacific oysters are removed from oyster farms, wild Pacific oysters will still be present in surrounding waters, perhaps acting as "a reservoir for infection."
It's unlikely, though, that OsHV-1 ?var would end up in U.S. oyster beds, Renault said, because the United States doesn't typically import oysters from Europe.
But a less virulent, herpes-like virus has been detected in farmed oysters off California. If sea temperatures continue to rise, he said, perhaps ?var or something like it could emerge in U.S. waters too.Next PagePrevious Page

High-performance MySQL proxy with a GPL license.Download (v2.0.8) All Releases
ProxySQL's experts are readily available to improve, enhance and support your Cloud-Based or On-Premise MySQL infrastructure.Get Support NOW!
Keen on performance
Battle-tested doesn't even begin to cover it — it is war-tested. Performance is the priority and the numbers have it.
High performance
ProxySQL has an advanced multi-core architecture. It's built from the ground up to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections, multiplexed to potentially hundreds of backend servers. The largest ProxySQL deployment spans several hundred proxies.
Query rewriting
The development team doesn't need to rewrite queries generated by ORMs or software that can't be easily modified. Meet ProxySQL's query rewriting feature, that empowers you to use the resources of your MySQL cluster as efficiently as possible.
Using its advanced rule engine, ProxySQL can easily support sharding by host, schema or a combination between the two. This requires minimal modifications to SQL queries, and to the application logic.
Efficient workload management
ProxySQL helps you squeeze the last drop of performance out of your MySQL cluster, without controlling the applications that generate the queries.
Query caching
Forget applications that generate load by inefficiently accessing the same results over and over again. ProxySQL quickly jumps in with its advanced rule engine. Results can also be cached for a configurable timespan, in native MySQL packets format.
Query Routing
Take an advanced case, where different classes of queries need to be routed to different MySQL clusters, with different configurations. Solve it with ProxySQL's hostgroup concept. Based on an advanced matching engine, it is able to route queries transparently towards the destination cluster that can execute them most efficiently.
Supports failover
While ProxySQL does not offer support failover as a feature, it collaborates smoothly with the existing tools that enable it. It monitors the health of the backends it communicates with and is able to temporarily shun them based on configurable error rates.
Advanced configuration with 0 downtime
ProxySQL's configuration system is inspired from routers. You can dynamically configure everything, persist the configuration and modify it. All with 0 downtime.
Application layer proxy
ProxySQL does not forward traffic blindly. It understands the MySQL protocol and acts accordingly. That's why it can easily serve advanced use-cases such as sticky transactions or real-time, in-depth statistics generation about the workload.
Cross platform
ProxySQL works out of the box on multiple flavors of Linux and FreeBSD. Moreover, it should be easily portable to other platforms where a gcc-compatible toolchain is available.
Advanced topology support
Cascading proxies for extra availability and flexibility. Complex MySQL topologies support, involving replication and failover or query mirroring. All of it performed effortlessly by ProxySQL.
In case of offending queries that cause problems to the DB (SQL injection or inefficient retrieval of information via SELECT * without WHERE, for example), ProxySQL acts as a gatekeeper between the application and the DB, allowing DBAs to react quickly.
ProxySQL: by DBAs for DBAs
Take back control of your MySQL cluster today. Scale and operate it smoothly. Unlock an unprecedented level of flexibility and performance. All the while getting the unlimited freedom that comes with a GPL license.

Balbo Malbec 2010
Winemaker's Notes:
Beautiful deep violet. Exploding aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and violets. The wonderful aromas are mirrored on the palate and they are joined by ripe plum fruit and a hint of toasty vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, and mint on the finish. Pairs well with a wide range of foods from beef and pork to chicken. Brava Susana, yet again! *This is what Malbec is all about.*

External Reviews for Balbo Malbec
This dark, dense red offers concentrated notes of wild berry compote, fig paste and plum skin framed by hints of spice, violet and graphite on the finish. Drink now.
Pale red. Strawberry on the nose, lifted by a citrus element. Supple and moderately sweet, with a plump texture but attractive sugar/acid balance to the dominant strawberry flavor. Easygoing, seamless rose with very good fruit, made via the saignee method
The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of fresh crushed cherries and toasty/smoky oak-just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice lurking in the background. This is a wine that you'll want to buy by the case because it can be consumed at almost any occasion, whether at a fancy dinner party, or just curled up on the couch in front of a movie. Fun and delicious-what more can you ask for?! - Winery
Der Wein aus Malbec und Cabernet Sauvignon zeigt eine tiefe purpurrote Farbe mit dunklen Reflexen, Himbeer, Cassis und Kirschen-Aromen in der Nase. Angenehme, getoastete Vanille, schwarzer Pfeffer und Tabak-Note. Viele saftige, wunderbar strukturierte und weiche Tannine, lang anhaltender Abgang.

Masuimi Max & Morat Model Our 'Invisible Monsters' Tshirts
Last week our Invisible Monsters shirts, featuring a stunning design by Kevin Tong, went on sale. Since then, we've already sold about a third of our inventory. People are loving this shirt and seem to be clamoring to get their's in time for Chuck's tour dates.
Order Your 'Invisible Monsters Thirt Today!
But how do you accurately show what such a badass Tshirt will look like when worn? Well, you go and enlist the help of two badasses! And so we brought on fetish and pin-up model, Masuimi Max, to kindly do a photoshoot with the shirts. And to show how the Mens shirts fit, she got her husband and photographer, Morat, to join in on the fun.
We want to sincerely thank Masuimi and Morat for helping us out again on this. It's tough to wrangle together photoshoots last minute. Masuimi and Morat are both extremely busy working professionals, but they were somehow able to squeeze this shoot in late on a Friday night, just to make our deadline. So big gratitude goes their way from all of us.
Masuimi and Morat both model in the pics and both traded off photography duties respectively. Please show them both some love and visit their awesome websites:
Masuimi Max - IamTrouble.com
Morat - MoratPhotography.com
We love posting pictures of people wearing our Tshirts, so if you fancy yourself bold enough, snap a pic wearing any of our shirts and we'll post it in our Galleries and on our Flickr. You can email your pics to submissions @ chuckpalahniuk.net.

Today, I have a little something different for you: I created three different mocktails that you can either make for yourself, or create a make-your-own bar for your next party, and they all require only three ingredients (and of course, you can also feel free to make them into cocktails!).
All three of these drinks have one thing in common, and that's a base of cold-pressed juice. Cold-pressed juice is my hydration of choice this summer (ok, and every summer) because it's refreshing, nutritious and SO GOOD. Whenever I'm out and about and need a pick me up, I maniacally seek out a fresh juice. And since I prefer a juice that mixes fruit and vegetables, I can justify the price and the hassle of finding them by reminding myself of all the bonus nutrition juices contain. It's like eating an extra salad (… in my mind, anyway).
For these recipes, I took my
obsession love of juice a step further by using my favorite juices as the base of even fancier beverages. I'm calling these mocktails because I like to drink them to refresh and rehydrate any time of day, but if you add a splash of a fourth (adult) ingredient to each glass, they'd also be a perfect signature cocktail at your next barbecue. No one needs to know that they're secretly getting extra fruit and veggie nutrition in every glass. 😉
These recipes call for 1915 Bolthouse Farms™, my new favorite line of bottled juices, which are easier to find and much more affordable than the stuff I usually seek out from juice shops, but they still pack the same caliber of flavor and nutrition. 1915 is an organic, ultra-premium line of beverages that includes 8 cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice blends and 3 protein smoothies. Everything from 1915 is organic and non-GMO – which, I know, I know, I am such a yuppie, but totally sold me.
Better yet, you don't have to hunt down a juice shop in some high-rent neighborhood; you can get 1915 juices (and smoothies) at normal stores like Walmart, Kroger and Safeway. And the price tag? Only $3.99 a bottle. I'm not even going to tell you what I've been paying at those juice shops. I'm making it even easier for you to swap in these healthier beverages for whatever you've been drinking this summer: if you scroll down to the recipe section of this post, you'll also see a giveaway where you can enter to win a box of 1915 Bolthouse Farms beverages ($40 ARV)!
So, as I said, I have three (!) mocktails for you today.
The first one uses 1915 Beet/Carrot/Orange/Lemon juice. Since it is such a lovely shade of plum, and I love alliteration, I call it the Purple Probiotic. You can just call it "something I want to drink" if that's easier. For this drink, all you need is the juice, kombucha and honey.
Purple Probiotic Mocktail
gluten free, grain free, paleo-friendly, vegan adaptable, dairy free, egg free, low carb
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- One 16-ounce bottle of 1915 Bolthouse Farms Beet/Carrot/Orange/Lemon Juice
- 12 ounces plain kombucha, unflavored
- Pour 1 Tablespoon honey into each of two tall cocktail glasses.
- Divide the 1915 juice between the two glasses and stir vigorously to incorporate the honey into the juice.
- Divide the kombucha between two glasses. Stir gently once more time to combine, add ice if desired, and enjoy immediately
Sub agave or maple syrup for honey if vegan.
Yield: 2 servings
So, there you have it: three drinks, three ingredients each, infinite satisfaction!
Catch? No catch. It's 90 degrees out so I think we all deserve a 1-minute, 3-ingredient beverage to cool off with. And if you can sneak in some extra goodness for your body – in the form of nutrient dense 1915 juices – then… well, what are you waiting for? Happy sipping!
Ready to make yourself a mocktail? Check your local supermarket (probably in/near the produce aisle) for 1915 juices and/or you can enter to win a box of 1915 Bolthouse Farms beverages:
Please note that the giveaway runs from July 1 to July 30, 2016. Bolthouse Farms will contact the winner directly, and in order to qualify you must be 18 or older and a US resident. Only one winner is allowed per household. Good luck!

I have been using Weber for about 5 years now. They are in my neighborhood and it was a very convenient location to have my cars serviced. Once I started using them for routine service and developed trust, I started having them do some more complex jobs that I couldnt complete myself. I cant say enough good things about their mechanics, Tony and Pete. These guys are very skilled techs who really know their way around cars. They are both very well educated mechanics who are up on the latest tech in new cars and can also work on older, more rare vehicles. I have seen everything from Mercedes, Audi, BMW to old hot rods and American muscle cars in the shop. They will also work on the normal, mundane stuff that most of us drive on a daily basis. Where these guys really shine is their ability to acutally trouble shoot a problem without throwing parts at it. They are skilled enough to properly diagnose an issue without wasting a lot of your time and money. They are both very honest guys who wont

The Suitland Federal Center, just outside of Washington, DC, looks like a series of Wal-Mart stores plunked in the middle of a country club. Amid a landscape of vast parking lots, rolling lawns, and a few groves of mature trees, the federal government maintains a 3 million-square-foot campus for more than 7,000 employees. The sprawling complex includes the Washington National Records Center, with tidy tulip beds and 4 million cubic feet of the government's paper trail. The massive new headquarters of the Census Bureau is encased entirely in vertical wood slats, too many to count. And the National Maritime Intelligence Center wears a crown of spindly antennas, as men welcome visitors with a wave of machine guns. Inexplicably, the amplified calls of geese emanate from behind its tall, sharp fence.

The Satellite Operations Facility cuts a different profile – more forthright, even a bit arrogant. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne, it appears as a slash of corrugated steel and prefabricated panels, fronted with a billboard-sized NOAA sign and topped by a half-dozen satellite dishes. Most of its 208,000 square feet are hidden beneath a grass roof that blends the building into a meadow. All that's visible is an aircraft carrier-like superstructure that seems to show little trace of human character, as if the whole building were just a rack for the satellite dishes, lit up at night like a spaceport.
Behind the windowless walls is mission control for the primary instruments of US meteorology. Watch the weather forecast on TV and the animated puffs of clouds that you see were inevitably transmitted from the 16 satellites the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates from this room. It looks just the way mission control is supposed to look, with massive projection screens and a glass-enclosed observation area – all camera-ready, as though waiting for Ed Harris to spring from his seat and bang on the console. That's not by accident. NOAA wanted a showpiece, and that's what 549 engineers, scientists, and staffers will get this fall, when the building is fully functional.
And not a moment too soon. The old mission control, across the parking lot, is a mess – an asbestos-riddled, flood-prone, former World War II-era hospital. But more than that, the stakes have changed: Climate and weather claim increasing political importance, and NOAA is the government's point agency. Even if government officials tend to deny the existence of global warming, they can understand the threat that hurricanes and rising seas pose to populated coastal regions. NOAA brags that one-third of America's gross domestic product – $3 trillion – is affected by weather and thus dependent on the flow of data through this room. In the past 10 years, NOAA's budget increased an average of 9 percent a year, only just exceeding the average 6 percent rate of the federal budget. But lawmakers are trying to give the agency more: A Senate committee voted this summer to raise NOAA's 2007 budget to $4.4 billion – an increase of 14 percent over one year. That money comes from what the agency's technocrats euphemistically term "visitors from downtown," who periodically make the 20-minute trek from Capitol Hill. When they get to Suitland, the building has to reflect what NOAA does – at least, better than the chaotic, broken-down structure set to be razed.
But don't tell that to the satellite guys. The technicians and engineers who keep those metal birds healthy and alert are far more interested in how the building works than in what it looks like. "A lot of us were saying, 'Save money! Just build us a box,'" explains Mike Settles, who, as chief of the support branch of NOAA's Office of Satellite Operations, is tasked with getting his people moved into the new digs.
Except that in today's US government, nobody gets a box. The Clinton-era Design Excellence Program, still in effect, pushes federal building projects toward starchitects and signature designs. The General Services Administration, the agency that builds and maintains federal property, foisted Mayne onto NOAA, and the resistance was palpable. As perfect as he was for the job, with his high tech aesthetic and penchant for tough materials like steel, the eccentric architect clashed immediately with NOAA's people. For Mayne, a building is a metaphor; for NOAA, it's a machine. This fundamental difference made the building of NOAA's new home a saga of form and function, symbolism and science.
In the Santa Monica, California, office of the architecture firm Morphosis, founder Thom Mayne leans back and props his feet on a table – displaying orange-and-black-striped socks in prison-issue tennis shoes. A soccer match is projected on the office wall; a homemade skateboard ramp sits in the parking lot. Mayne tends to express the cost of his buildings not in terms of dollars but in terms of Iraq-war hours the government is paying for. (For the NOAA building, that's about eight.) And this guy is the Feds' favorite architect?
Well, yes. Between 1999 and 2001, Morphosis was awarded three major public building commissions – each of which won significant design prizes, and each of which is opening this year: a federal building in San Francisco; a federal courthouse in Eugene, Oregon; and the NOAA megastructure. After 25 years as the loose cannon of Los Angeles architecture – and a sharp-tongued baby boomer radical who neither sold out nor managed to build much – Mayne, at 62, has suddenly found himself the leading architectural communicator of government power. Like the work of Frank Gehry and other LA deconstructivists, Mayne's designs have always tended toward buildings splayed as if about to break apart. At small scales, his creations seem edgy, disruptive; when enlarged to office-building size, they can look like the Death Star, awesome and intimidating. "Why waste money on public buildings?" Mayne asks, ready with an answer. "Well, what else are you going to do to represent a culture?"
Mayne first walked the empty site in Suitland in late 2000. He was joined by Paul Pegnato, a NOAA engineer who is now the satellite facilities team leader. They must have made an odd pair: the tall, gaunt architect with his salt-and-pepper stubble, and the stout, bald bureaucrat with his button-down shirt and paisley tie. In a way, they were competitors; NOAA has an in-house team of architects and engineers who work on NOAA facilities spread across the continent. If it weren't for the Design Excellence Program, they would have had their basic box already. "You're always struggling with wants versus needs," Pegnato says. "But this building is not a mansion. It's meant to provide function and be sensitive to the taxpayers' money."
Mayne quickly seized on NOAA's twin goals of environmental stewardship and technological advancement. If the agency protected the world by flying the skies, he thought, he'd make the building part of the earth. The building wouldn't be underground, exactly, but it would be covered: a shallow dome with a gently curving roof of sod. He'd keep the sloping meadow, home to a few softball diamonds, in its "natural" state – ready, even, for more softball. "We took this piece of Earth's crust and exaggerated it slightly," Mayne says. "We literally peeled it up to make it usable."
Still, those satellite dishes – some as big as 30 feet across and costing $1 million – had to go someplace, so Mayne designed a giant metal rack to support them. This "bar" would also house the windowless mission control and extend outside and above the main building – the "mat," a vast, high-ceilinged, horizontal expanse day-lit by large sunken courtyards and irregularly placed skylights. All the office space would be in the mat, while the engineers in the bar would keep an eye on the satellites' telemetry, and other data. The building would tell a story of high technology, careful observation, and constant stewardship. And it would look pretty damn cool doing it.
But when Ed Feiner – then chief architect of the General Services Administration and the man who brought star designers back into the fold – saw the renderings, he knew there would be trouble. "My initial reaction was, humanize them! Put some green things around or have a dog lifting its leg," he says. So Mayne did. It didn't help. "People were concerned about being underground, that it was going to be dark and dingy," Pegnato recalls – no matter that NOAA employees have taped black paper over the windows of their current digs to block out light.
As the spring of 2001 turned to summer, the NOAA crowd sent Mayne back to the drawing board, invoking its contractual right to see two design alternatives. What it got back, Mayne admits, was half-baked. One scheme packed everything into a big oval orb. The other had three ribbons curving toward one another and then away, like a DNA spiral. When he presented them to NOAA, he diagrammed each design's pros and cons, weighted clearly toward the original scheme. Sinking the building, he explained, would minimize costs, and the single floor level would encourage social interaction. Berming it – pushing one side of it into the ground – increased its energy efficiency.
But the placement of the satellite dishes, crucial to the function of the building, wasn't working. Because NOAA required that the building have a sight line to satellites in their equatorial orbits, Mayne originally ran the bar from east to west so each dish had an unobstructed view of the southern sky. The dishes shadowed one another, however, which could have hindered operations. Working with NOAA's engineers, Morphosis architects resketched the satellite-viewing parameters and realized the bar would work more efficiently if it ran north-south. So they reoriented the entire building, then simply tweaked the design.
September 11 changed the terms of both the building's security and its symbolism, but even before then the back-and-forth was taking its toll. By February 2002, with only a tentative design complete, Pegnato and Mayne were at loggerheads. Mayne relishes the intellectual process of architecture – and relishes talking about it even more. For the courthouse in Eugene, he and presiding judge Michael Hogan, who was far more conservative than Mayne, bonded over hours of debate about architecture, law, and French wine. Recently, the two have even taken their odd-couple shtick to the lecture circuit. No one at NOAA wanted that. "I was interested in a lot of the symbolism and sociology of the problem, more so than they were," Mayne says. "They just wanted an office this big," he says, chopping out a quadrangle on the table with his hands. "Build a box and be done with it!"
Pegnato concedes he wasn't too interested in discourse unless it was mission critical. "Thom would always ask, 'How're we doing, Paul? What do you think, Paul, what do you think?'" And Pegnato would always give the same reply: "Well, Thom, I can't tell you what I think until it's done and it's operating. This is a nice model and a nice piece of paper, but the proof is in the pudding."
On a hot June day, Pegnato is busy supervising the final testing of all the new mechanical systems. He takes a break to walk through the building and point out the expanded computer rooms, the three 1.25-megawatt diesel backup generators, the fail-safe WAN circuits, the buildingwide AV system – all of it "cross-strapped and redundant." He pauses high above the double-height mission control room, where the Weather Channel is playing on four of the 36 massive screens. And then he heads outside to the roof, the highest point for miles around.
Up there in the wind, the Washington Monument is visible in the distance and you're dwarfed by the 30-foot-wide satellite dishes. The entire structure of the building has been designed to dampen even the slightest vibration before it reaches the dishes – essential for catching a datastream that originates 22,300 miles away. Pegnato steps onto a metal grating, a sort of balcony at the end of the building, with nothing but air beneath it. A massive cylindrical steel beam defines the edge of the platform – a single 85-foot-long metal guardrail that matches the support columns below. He slaps his hand on it, and it makes a low gong. "These are the types of things that Thom and I might disagree on. I'd say, 'God, look at the cost of that pipe.' And he'd say, 'It's a beautiful architectural feature!' And I'd say, 'Can't you make it half the size and half the cost, but with the same amount of beauty?" But then Pegnato raises his head to the sun, clearly pleased with the scene – with the story his building is telling – and reconsiders. "But you have to have both views during the design process. You really do, as much as I would hate at times to admit that. I think sometimes Thom felt like I'd be happy with a box. But I wouldn't be."

If you've been reading sally cooks, you know that I love North Carolina, especially the Durham and Chapel Hill areas. I went to grad school in Chapel Hill and this is where I met my soul sister, Laura when I worked with her at The Women's Center. I miss her dearly and I can't wait to be back in the same city with her when Joe and I make our way South.
Laura and I share a love of gardening, long walks, frozen-yogurt, non-profit work, bargain shopping, breakfast at Elmo's diner, reading, reality TV and babies. Laura is a beautiful person inside and out with an amazing eye for design and homestyle. She is a devoted wife and mother to the cutest little boy you've ever seen, and such a good friend. Today I'm excited to share her Spring Must-dos for the Triangle area.
L: Inspired by Sally's Spring Must (or Want!) Dos, I got crackin' on my own list. Last spring I was gigantically with-child and missed quite a few things I would normally be diving into for Spring.
I'll start with my must- visits… the Triangle is seriously rich in activities…here are my favorites!
- Duke Gardens. Although I am a gumshoe gardener, I am inspired each spring to bring more color and depth to my own (fledgling!) perennial bed. A yellow bearded Iris from my garden:
- Sister's Garden on Gimghoul Road in Chapel Hill. Again, this sweet, enviable home garden lends inspiration! All pictures from: http://sweetbay103.blogspot.com/2011/01/twin-sisters-garden.html
- Logan's in Raleigh or Stone Brothers in Durham: my favorite garden shops!!
- Raleigh Flea Market. Ok, truly I could hit this gem any time of the year. But nothing beats a beautiful day spent strolling around hunting for treasures. Hitting the homemade lemonade stand is a must!
- Durham Farmers Market
- Durham Bulls game!
- Walking. It is my favorite form of exercise, and my favorite loop- Duke's Buehler Trail– has intimidated me since having a c-section last summer. No more!
- Deep Spring cleaning!!! This is always on my list, but we are moving into a new house in the next few months, and I LOVE moving. Seriously. A chance to purge (moving makes me way more cut-throat!) and organize a whole new space renews my soul.
- Start eating like I feed….It recently occurred to me I provide the BEST for my son, nothing processed, organic when possible, etc. Why do I not do that for myself?!? An example meal for Leo: mashed sweet potatoes with a little organic yogurt, strawberry slices, steamed broccoli and carrot rice cakes for dessert. A Spring Reset seems like the perfect time to get the whole family eating better (see #5- Durham Farmer's Market here we come!).
- Relax and enjoy the season. Everyone says babies grow so fast…and now it is reality. Leo's first birthday is just around the corner and I want to soak up every last second of this first year as it comes to a close.

Molly J said of her time in solitary confinement:
"[I felt] doomed, like I was being banished … Like you have the plague or that you are the worst thing on earth. Like you are set apart [from] everything else. I guess [I wanted to] feel like I was part of the human race – not like some animal."
Molly was just 16 years old when she was placed in isolation in an adult jail in Michigan. She described her cell as being "a box".
"There was a bed – the slab. It was concrete … There was a stainless steel toilet/sink combo … The door was solid, without a food slot or window … There was no window at all."
Molly remained in solitary for several months, locked down alone in her cell for at least 22 hours a day.
No other nation in the developed world routinely tortures its children in this manner. And torture is indeed the word brought to mind by a shocking report released today by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union. Growing Up Locked Down documents, for the first time, the widespread use of solitary confinement on youth under the age of 18 in prisons and jails across the country, and the deep and permanent harm it causes to kids caught up in the adult criminal justice system.
Ian Kysel, author of the 141-page report, interviewed or corresponded with more than 125 young people who had spent time in solitary as children in 19 states. To cope with endless hours of extreme isolation, sensory deprivation and crippling loneliness, Kysel learned that some children made up imaginary friends or played games in their heads. Some hid under the covers and tried to sleep as much as possible, while others found they could not sleep at all…
In fact, solitary confinement has been shown to cause severe pain and psychological damage to the tens of thousands of adults who endure it every day in American prisons. On children, the report states, the practice has a "distinct and particularly profound impact." Because of "the special vulnerability and needs of adolescents, solitary confinement can be a particularly cruel and harmful practice when applied to them." This is all the more true because for many of these kids, "developmental immaturity is compounded by mental disabilities and histories of trauma, abuse, and neglect."
Yet, prisons and jails commonly use isolation as punishment for violating prison rules, including both violent and nonviolent infractions. One boy who entered a Colorado jail at age 15 said the guards doled out stints in solitary for crimes that would, in any other setting, be deemed normal adolescent behavior:
"15 days for not making the bed; 15 days for not keeping the cell door open; 20 or 25 days for being in someone else's cell."
On Rikers Island in New York City, more than 14% of adolescents between 16 and 18 spent some period in "disciplinary segregation". This despite the fact that nearly half of all adolescents on Rikers have been found to have a "diagnosed mental disorder".
Other kids are isolated as a form of "protective custody", because they are vulnerable to physical or sexual abuse. Even though they are being locked down "for their own good", many receive no educational or rehabilitative programming while in solitary, and some are barred from seeing their families.
Still, other children are placed in solitary confinement for "treatment" purposes, especially after threatening or attempting suicide – even though isolation has been shown to sharply increase the risk that prisoners will take their own lives.
"There is nothing to do so you start talking to yourself and getting lost in your own little world. It is crushing," said Paul K, who spent 60 days in solitary when he was 14.
"You get depressed and wonder if it is even worth living. Your thoughts turn over to the more death-oriented side of life."
No one knows precisely how many children live in these conditions, since many state and local correctional systems do not keep such data. But the overall rate of solitary confinement in American prisons is thought to be between 3% and 5%, and anecdotal evidence suggests that, in some systems, children may be isolated at even higher rates than adults. Given that nearly 100,000 youth under the age of 18 pass through adult prisons and jails annually, there exists the staggering possibility that thousands of children are spending time in solitary confinement each year.
There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.

A social worker says up to six children are being kept in solitary confinement in a maximum-security adult prison in Victoria.
"There's no natural light, no natural air. Often there is either dead silence or the sounds of really unwell people in the background," she said.
"One young man told me once a banging sound had gone on for 24 hours – another prisoner had been banging on the walls for 24 hours."
"They don't have access to any rehabilitation, they don't get to go to school, they don't get to learn, they don't get access to mental health practitioners," she said.
"It breaks people."

What are amended tax returns?
If you have made a mistake on a return you have filed you can correct it by filing an amended return.
Although refunds are often the result of amending a tax return, there exists an important distinction between a taxpayer's ability to file a claim for credit or refund and a taxpayer's filing of an amended return. Most particularly, it is often important for various reasons to file an amended return even if the deadline has already passed for a claim for refund.
In general, a claim for credit or refund of a tax paid by a tax return must be filed within the later of (a) three years from the date that the return was timely or untimely filed (or the due date if filed earlier), or (b) two years from the date the tax was paid. If the required tax return was not filed, the claim for refund must be filed within two years from when the tax was paid. Certain exceptions do exist. For example, the claim period is seven years for an overpayment resulting from a bad debt or from worthless securities. And for an overpayment resulting from the payment or accrual of foreign taxes for which a foreign tax credit is allowed, the claim period is ten years.
Surprising to many taxpayers is the fact that there exists no provision in the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations requiring the Internal Revenue Service to accept an amended return in place of a previously filed original return. There accordingly is no deadline for the filing of an amended return.
The Service will generally recognize amended returns filed after the return due date for the purpose of correcting clear errors or plain mistakes in original returns. But the acceptance or rejection of an amended return is in fact a matter that is within the Service's administrative discretion, and the Service's refusal to accept an amended return may be reviewed by a court only for abuse of discretion.
From the taxpayer's perspective, there is more than a tincture of unfairness to the fact that the Service is not required by law to accept an amended return. On the other hand, a broad requirement for the Service to accept amended returns could be disruptive of tax administration because a taxpayer could disregard his original tax return and automatically change an assessment by filing an amended return in his favor after the expiration of time for filing the original return.

Onyx Investments helps private individuals and institutions explore and leverage financial markets to improve long-term living standards. To do so, this company works to install a patient and disciplined approach within its client base. This successful formula towards success begins with the identification and prioritization of business, financial, and ultimately, life goals. From there, Onyx Investments can best engineer asset and insurance policy portfolios that balance risks versus rewards, as we create wealth bridging the gap between today's realities and tomorrow's ideal objectives. Onyx Investments promotes a conservative and disciplined approach to financial planning.
Setting Goals
Notable financial goals often relate to the financing of retirement, home ownership, higher education, and business expansion. Before fully committing to working towards long-term financial goals, of course, it is critical for Onyx Investments to help its clientele establish adequate cash reserves, strong credit ratings, and comprehensive insurance coverage. From there, the viability of all long-term financial goals will be addressed according to total costs and prospective time frame. For example, a middle class Chicago couple may need to compile more than $2 million in savings, before retiring comfortably to a South Florida condominium within the next 20 years.
Disciplined Saving
With a list of financial goals in hand, Onyx Investments can now estimate the amount of money that should be set aside monthly to meet your objectives. Savings projections will account for prospective inflation, taxes, and investment returns. Onyx Investments identifies the Standard and Poor's 500 Index as an ideal benchmark for U.S. stock market performance. The S&P 500 Index is a market-weighted average featuring many of America's largest publicly traded corporations. In order to manage expectations, all planning clients should recognize that the S&P 500 Index has averaged 11 percent returns since its 1957 inception.
Classifying Investments
Taken further, informed clients will differentiate between equity and credit securities. Shares of stock, small businesses, and real estate are equity holdings because they carry ownership rights. Equities feature a relatively volatile risk versus reward profile. In theory, share prices for individual stocks can swing between zero and infinity, alongside corporate profits.
Credit securities include bonds and money market assets. As a creditor, you are loaning out money to corporate and government institutions for set periods of time. In exchange for making out these loans, you earn interest payments on credit securities. Credit securities feature senior asset claims above equities. Amid bankruptcy, a corporation must pay bondholders first from the proceeds of any forced asset liquidations. Credit securities, of course, are susceptible to inflation risks that erode purchasing power.
Tax Considerations
All investments introduce important tax ramifications that subtract away from your bottom line. You will generally owe taxes on both investment income and realized capital gains. Investment income describes interest and dividend payments. Meanwhile, capital gains are actually realized after the sale of an investment. Tax law benefits long-term investors. Retirement accounts, such as Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and 401(k) plans provide for tax-deferred growth, until you make withdrawals. Retirement account withdrawals made before the age of 59 ½, however, may be subject to a 10 percent tax penalty. The goal at Onyx Investments, of course, remains to maximize total and real returns for our clients, rather than to simply save them money on taxes.
Investment Strategy
Onyx Investments recommends diversification as a strategy to both manage financial risk and provide for growth. Diversification allows you to turn a profit in various economic scenarios. A diversified portfolio may include U.S. stocks and bonds alongside international investments. Amid domestic recession, conservative U.S. stocks and bonds, in conjunction with overseas investments should stabilize the portfolio. When the U.S. economy inevitably recovers, aggressive American stock positions will turn in strong gains. Through ironclad discipline, we typically reject short-term asset management fads at Onyx Investments.

The study was conducted to investigate the role of social protection on the welfare of vulnerable groups in Kenya. The study examined the various types of shocks and risks experienced by vulnerable groups and the strategies employed to address different types of shocks. The study further investigated the impact of social protection on enterprise development and asset accumulation by women and on children's schooling outcomes. A sample consisting of 968 households from Thika District and Starehe and Kibera Districts in Nairobi was interviewed between October and December 2011. Descriptive analyses, probit models, and ordered probit models were used to achieve the objectives of the study.
The results show that the main shocks affecting households were: economic shocks - high prices for goods and inputs, low prices of farm produce, unemployment, and business failures; life cycle shocks - death of family member or household head or cash earner; and natural shocks - drought. The main coping strategies adopted in response to shocks were formal and informal social protection, consumption adjustment, putting in more hours of work, and establishing/operating a business. The results further suggest that social protection in the form of the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Cash Transfer and the Old Persons' Cash Transfer programmes reduced the probability of experiencing natural and economic shocks by the households. Cash transfers and informal social protection also played a significant role both in enterprise development and the promotion of enterprises that were owned or operated by women. Cash transfers favoured asset accumulation by women and enhanced children's school enrolment and attendance. The other factors that influenced household and individual welfare outcomes were urban residence and the gender, level of education, and age of the household head. Overall, the results show that cash transfers impact on standards of living and provide poor and vulnerable households with basic needs (food, health, and education).
The results of the study point to a number of policy issues. First, there is need to raise the amounts given in cash transfers and to expand coverage among the vulnerable groups. Second, complementary interventions and strategies should be enhanced to further protect the poor and vulnerable segments of the society from shocks and vulnerability. Third, there is need to sensitise people on the importance of participating in informal social protection arrangements in order to escape poverty. Fourth, Community-Based Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations should mobilise the poor and vulnerable in rural areas to fight poverty and vulnerability. Fifth, graduation and exit strategies should be designed and implemented to reduce dependency on cash transfers. Finally, there is need to pursue complementary policies for fighting poverty and vulnerability including asset accumulation, enhanced education, and rural development strategies.
Key words: Social protection, Poverty, Vulnerability, Shocks, Enterprise Development, Asset Accumulation, Education, Kenya.

I heard about this place in the Mountains
My name is Kayla, I'm 12 and I live in a big city called Vancouver B.C. but I've heard about another place to work in British Columbia. One of my friends had mentioned to me several years ago about a place in Gold Bridge B.C. Up there is a Ranch, a place where there are many different things to discover. It's a quiet place, that has animals such as horses, cougars, rabbits, squirrels, mice and more. I actually recently went to the ranch in late January, with my friend Hilary and it was an adventure of a lifetime!
The first day I was up and ready to see the horses. I was excited for the horseback ride and as I would be learning, it would be a time to also conquer one of my biggest fears: Heights. When we got to the top of the mountain,we also had to go back down, on a horse! I was terrified. Sometimes you just have to put your faith in your horse and the person who is leading the way. It was definitely a moment to remember.
We decided to also go on the snow mobiles which was actually a really fun experience! Hilary and I fell off almost 5 times! Because the snow was so deep, when you would get off the snow mobile, you would absolutely sink! We both had a lot of good laughs about it. I am so blessed that I got this experience and I just can't wait until the next time! It was such a good place to work in British Columbia.

Debugging Weblate¶
Weblate is just a software and it can contain bugs. The bugs can behave as application crashes or as a misbehavior. You are welcome to collect information on the issue and submit it to our issue tracker.
Analyzing application crashes¶
In case application crashes, it is useful to collect as much information about the crash as possible. The easiest way to achieve this is by using third party services which can collect such information automatically. You can find information how to set this up in Collecting error reports.
Silent failures¶
Lot of tasks are offloaded to Celery for background processing. In case of failure those are not shown in the user interface, but appear in the Celery logs. Configuring Collecting error reports will help you to notice such failures easier.
Performance issues¶
In case Weblate preforms badly in some situation, please collect relevant logs showing the issue and which might help figuring out where our code might be improved.
In case some requests are taking too long without any indication, you might want to install dogslow <https://pypi.org/project/dogslow/> together with Collecting error reports and get detailed traceback of problematic places in the error collection tool.

I almost missed my cue to give the intro to the doxology. The pastor had given the benediction yet my eye was still fixed on the man across the sanctuary in the third row when I realized the final amen had been spoken. To be honest, I had been watching the parishioner intently throughout the entire service. From where I sat at the piano, I had a direct view. And even during the sermon, I was situated such that I could turn my head only slightly and observe this one who had so captured my attention. It's not that I had never seen him; but this day, I was so drawn.
You see, Mr. Gerald is blind.
Each Sunday, an elder goes and gets Mr. Gerald from home and brings him and his seeing eye dog to worship. And then when it's over, the same elder returns him to his home. I don't know too much about the man other than his dog's name, how long he has had him, and that when I asked him if he had a favorite hymn, he just smiled and said, "All of them," ... though he does like Standing on the Promises.
But observation tells me something more. Mr. Gerald is a listener.
The first thing Mr. Gerald does after sitting down and settling his dog is remove his hat. He then takes the posture of listening and remains there for the next hour. He doesn't squirm. He doesn't twitch his head. He doesn't slouch. He sits straight, leaning slightly forward with his hands unclasped in his lap, his legs uncrossed and his face forward. Only one time did I ever see him move and that was when the pastor instructed us to "raise your head and receive this benediction." Ever so slightly did I see Mr. Gerald's chin lift to do just that.
There's no fidgeting, checking his watch, doodling or playing with his hair. Yes, Mr. Gerald is a listener.
What if I listened with the same intensity of Mr. Gerald? What would I hear if I tuned my ear to listen to every musical note played, every inflection in the voice spoken, every move of the people about me? What would I hear if I truly listened to the Scripture, that place where God reveals Himself to us so intimately, being read in my presence? Would I hear the voice of God in any of it?
The art of listening. I'm afraid we may have lost it in our busy world. A world that is always, always, always shouting ... BLARING! ... at us. A world that makes it hard to listen. To be silent. Then again maybe it's just because we don't slow down long enough to listen because we are afraid we won't hear anything at all, and that's worse than all the noise. Therefore, we don't assume, take on, the position of a listener ... like Mr. Gerald.
Trappist Monk Thomas Merton wrote in his book Thoughts in Solitude, "My life is listening, His is speaking. My salvation is to hear and respond. For this, my life must be silent. Hence, my silence is my salvation."
Yes, God is still speaking. Are we still listening? Or have we lost the art?
Just an ordinary moment...

I give Stewart credit for aging into the Great American Songbook--even if I don't want to hear him sing those songs--but when he last played Jazz Fest in 2007, he closed with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy." That might be a question that the then-62 Stewart wondered in his heart of hearts, but making it his final statement/question to the audience made him seem desperate and shallow.

I was volunteering at a local thrift shop with my daughter recently and decided it was time for a thrifting, diy, decor lesson. We talked about making an Easter decoration for the front door and the hunt began to find some items to meet our $5.00 budget.
We found these:
We painted the frame with 3 coats of Americana acrylic paint on the frame(banana cream) and bunny(citron green). Once they were dry I poked the scarf through the hole in the cutting board and tied it to the frame, easy peasy!!!
Now spring will come, right?
Be Awesome,

Xi Harbor View, New Songdo City in Incheon, South Korea. Rendering courtesy Gale international and KPF.
Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for Xi Harbor View, a bustling residential development of six 30 to 40-story high-rise and seven 14-story mid-rise buildings in New Songdo City. The 2.9-million-square-foot development also includes public amenities, assembly facilities above grade and a basement level parking garage.
Challenges Thornton Tomasetti faced was developing a design resistant to typhoon-force winds and engineering engage piles with loading ties to ensure sufficient bracing. The heavy weight of the concrete buildings was used as a cost-effective solution to counteract high hydropressure uplift, a consequence of the site being built on land reclaimed from the Yellow Sea.
