In a decade overrun with bad sequels and even worse original ideas – Kevin Tenney's Night of the Demons stood out above the competition with its perfect mixture of shock and schlock. A staple for Halloween parties and sleepovers; this darkly comedic, satanic tinged slasher rattled the eyes with its gory corn syrupy kills and startled the ears with its Carpenter-esque score supplied by Dennis Michael Tenny. With Lunaris Records dusting off the master tapes for the vinyl release, the label had the foresight to summon HorrorHound artist Devon Whitehead for the cover art – who's possessed penmanship expelled the razor sharp imagery that will bring Night of the Demons into the minds of a new generation.
Describing how he got involved with the project, Whitehead notes "Chris MacGibbon, a diehard Night of the Demons fan was familiar with my work and recommended me to Lunaris and they emailed me. [I was a] huge fan myself, it's one of my favorite horror films so I was thrilled to get this gig. I came up with an idea and sent over a sketch to Lunaris which they approved and I went on to paint it from there".
Going further into his creative process, "I initially did the design as you see it on the shirt and promo that Lunaris has available with Angela, full body, bursting through the mirror" explains Whitehead. "Then I later had the idea to have Angela holding an apple with razor blades as shes coming out of the mirror and sent that over. They dug both designs and the apple design is the final one on the cover".
Whitehead's artwork is full of dramatic and tense colors – from the hazy gun smoke highlights to the blood red deliciousness of the apple, the tints and tones draw the eye with ease. "I approach everything traditionally, and draw/paint as I would by hand" explains Whitehead. "I sketched it out with pencil, then worked up the sketch in Photoshop and painted it in Photoshop – it took about a week off and on to finish". In regards to his inspirations for the piece, he notes "I looked at lots of horror poster art, Italian horror posters and artists, as well as some of my favorite artists in general like Frazetta and Brom". Much like a Frazetta work – the characters explode with energy with Whitehead giving a strong sense of life to even the most soulless, undead creature on the digital canvas.
Mirroring the splattered sonics captured within the vinyl grooves, Whitehead's daliesque depiction of the film's narrative is as sharp and on point as a bladed Braeburn. Breathing new life into an underrated cult horror hit – Night of the Demons is 12 inches of demonic fun.
Peace to Devon Whitehead for helping out with this piece. Get your own copy of Night of the Demons from Lunaris Records. Keep in touch with Whitehead on his Facebook and Instagram pages.

Ashley motivated a group of friends to join her for a 5k and raised $7,000! Run any race and support Bright Pink.
All my life I knew my paternal grandmother's history with fatal breast and ovarian cancer. She passed away in her 40's, which resulted in my dad losing his mother at the age of 18. I always knew that she had either been dealt a really bad set of cards or had a genetic mutation.
I decided to ask my doctors about genetic testing. I spoke with a doctor about my paternal family health history and she told me that I had nothing to worry about because it was on my father's side. As you can imagine, her explanation didn't sit right with me, so I explored more on my own and learned that this was not true! I left that doctor's practice and went to another one. My new doctor encouraged me to find out about the BRCA mutation and advised me to get tested. Shortly after that talk, I was walking out of her office with a bandage on my arm and genetic testing pamphlets to take back to my office.
Those next few weeks were torture. I was connected with a genetic counselor on the phone, who screened me and asked extensive family history information. She shared how uncommon testing positive for a BRCA mutation was and I felt very optimistic, until I received her next call:
"Well, Ashley, I wish I had some better news to share with you but unfortunately, you tested positive for BRCA 1 mutation. This mutation increases your chance of breast cancer to 80% and ovarian to more than 50%."
After the news settled in, I started taking action with preventive measures, including annual MRI's and 6 month ovarian screenings. In January I will be undergoing a preventive double mastectomy and even though I'm absolutely terrified, I'm also excited to beat my odds with new modern medicine and surgery.
Bright Pink has always been an organization that I was familiar with for women's health. I've always admired Lindsay Avner's story of creating a non-profit organization after she struggled to find her own resources at a young age to survive the BRCA mutation. I'm not the biggest runner, but, I had never felt more excited or passionate when it came to running the Life Time 5K on September 24 for Bright Pink. To be a 26-year-old woman, who is healthy and cancer-free, I found it a privilege to run for women everywhere, especially women who have or had cancer or are BRCA positive.
I see this race as a way to restart and officially tackle the journey ahead of me. I know my journey is going to be a lot longer than 3.1 miles but I'm ready for it.
I have been so inspired by everyone's selflessness and dedication to raising funds for this cause so near and dear to me. From friends choosing to spend their Sunday running a 5K, to family and friends donating to my page, and to my father's hardware store in New York whose employees worked tirelessly to donate from their own paycheck to support Bright Pink, just means so very much. Every dollar counts and I was so honored to raise these funds for a group that is so passionate about supporting women's health.
The power of sharing your story is so incredibly important. In less than 48 hours of sharing my story, we successfully raised more than $7,000 for Bright Pink!
On Sunday, September 24, my team and I ran. We ran for all the women out there who have lost their lives to breast and/or ovarian cancer. We ran for women recovering on a couch this very moment because they chose a preventive surgery. We ran for women who are still grasping their diagnosis and finding the best plan of action for them. Funds raised will give the next person the opportunity to receive the best care and support as they navigate their own journey.
It's incredibly important that these resources continue to be available to women everywhere.
As someone who was absolutely scared and put off genetic testing until I was 25, I understand the fear that comes along with it. I chose to undergo genetic testing when I was in the prime of my career, finally getting settled into my skin and embarking on a relationship with someone who has still stuck by me through my crazy rollercoaster of emotions. Basically, I received the heaviest but most important news of my life at the worst possible time. But I've learned life is still really great after finding out my news. I now get to take control and beat the odds of cancer. My biggest dream is to get married and have children. I couldn't imagine having that dream get squashed or shortened because I didn't have this information available to me to save my life.
If you are reading this and have family history with breast or ovarian cancer, please get tested. I get to keep my life and live it to the fullest. If anything, I say I'm pretty darn lucky.
Fall races are coming up! Whether it's a turkey trot, marathon, or bike ride; it's easy to support to Bright Pink!

Spring is in the air and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. My thoughts are turning to an old love this morning as I inhale the odors coming from the cheap eatery around the corner on University Avenue. They waft through the open window of my second-story office on Eighth. I'm not young anymore. The cheap eatery is a Jack in the Box, and the love I'm mooning about is an old one: science fiction, fantasy, and hard-boiled suspense. I used to keep company with all three fickle dames. Not so much these days. I used to keep an office bottle in the drawer beneath my typewriter. Not so much anymore. I used to use a typewriter, but they've gone the way of high-button shoes and 25-cent Cokes, edged out by science, "the largest religion of the twentieth century...somewhat tarnished by images of exploding space shuttles, crack babies, and a generation of complacent Americans who had allowed the television to raise their children."
The quote is from the file on my desk, the first of The Dresden Files, compiled by scribe Jim Butcher. The ten book-length files concern "Harry Dresden — Wizard: Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment." Butcher has been chronicling Harry Dresden's cases since 2000, and for the past eight years, well-meaning folk have suggested I read them. After all, they will tell me, "It's your kind of stuff. You used to write SF, fantasy, and hard-boiled suspense. This is all that stuff rolled into one." I tell them I'm not like that anymore, that times have changed, and that despite myself, I have too — more or less. But I read on.
The Dresden quote continues, "People were looking for something — I think they just didn't know what. And even though they were once again starting to open their eyes to the world of magic and the arcane that had been with them all the while, they still thought I must be some kind of joke."
And maybe I started out reading Storm Front, the first in the series, thinking that Harry Dresden was a joke. But by the time I finished it and decided to read the second case file, Fool Moon, maybe I figured I could use a good joke, at least a good story, and then another one.
Yeah, I'd been in love with this kind of stuff once upon a time. Ever since I read H.G. Wells as a kid and then the Hardy Boys, and later, guys like Roger Zelazny and Jack Williamson with, even later, into my 30s, side trips down Raymond Chandler's mean streets. Sure that stuff was great, but that was 20 years ago. Besides, you start mixing those boys together on the page, you not only have a lot more disbelief to suspend, you're asked to swallow the literary equivalents of chili con carne topped with chocolate ice cream. Separately, one at a time, they're great, but you don't put them in the same bowl.
Still, I haunt the used bookstores for old Ace Doubles and gaudily covered pop fiction from my youth the way some guys will skulk around their high school reunions trying to recapture a thrill with a glimpse of Bonnie Anne Del Veccio's thighs. Or I'll pick up an old Lancer paperback edition of The Return of Captain Blood, hoping to time travel back to that long midwestern summer before pubic hair and heartbreak. Maybe back to the days promising a long career with multiple book deals that were soon to be followed by corporate mergers, buy-outs, and sell-outs. Purchasing a stack of old pulp dreams, thinking it will usher back innocence and wonder isn't far from putting the moves on some 19-year-old honey thinking she'll restore youth to your balding, graying, and sagging old geezer ass.
Where's the freaking office bottle? No bottle, but last night's pizza, or half of it, anyway, congeals in its box on top of a stack of old occult books. I keep meaning to sell these or put them in storage. I reach in the pizza box and grab a cold slice. I see there are five left. I've got an idea. For old times' sake. I arrange the five slices into a pentagram, a five-pointed, greasy, cheesy star. I leaf through one of the books and find a suitable incantation. It doesn't take long for one corner of my shabby office to be engulfed in shadow. Voices of the damned come from the darkness, and I can smell sulfur and smoke, and I know I have the right paranormal universe. Reaching into the umbra of the shadow, I search for the correct Latin words and give up. English will have to do. "Kools!" I announce into the patch of void just beyond my desk. "Light! 100s! Hard pack!" In another moment, my hand closes around the pack, and I pull it back into the world where George W. Bush reigns and not Astaroth, Beelzebub, or Mephistopheles. I light one up. A good smoke. I quit a few weeks ago, but what the hell. No sales tax this way — and I did get rid of the office bottle of jaguar adrenaline.
I pick up Storm Front again. I'm entering a Chicago with organized and Italianate criminals cheek by jowl with trolls and vampires and, of course, cops. In the opening pages here, the director of special investigations in the downtown windy city calls Dresden to the scene of a grotesquely brutal crime. That a police detective would call a wizard to the scene of a double homicide is hardly less credible than the time-honored staple of crime fiction in general that has cops consulting P.I.s for any reason at all. But a Chicago cop calling a wizard into the case? I've had experience with Chicago cops; it seemed like the whole department threw a going-away party just for me just before I left that hometown for California the second week of August in 1968. It's tough enough picturing Lt. Kowalski consulting H&R Block about his taxes much less a wizard for anything. Butcher makes a case for his Lt. Karrin Murphy (or my theoretical Lt. Kowalski) when he has her deliver the lines, "I am...tired of being looked at like I'm some sort of nutcase.... Most of them [her fellow cops] just scowl and spin their index fingers around their temples.... They don't want to believe in anything they didn't see on Mister Science when they were kids."
Dresden looks on the scene of the bizarre violence perpetrated by magical means and observes to himself, "Magic is created by life, and most of all by the awareness, intelligence, emotions of a human being. To end such a life with the same magic that was born from it was hideous, almost incestuous somehow.
Butcher's protagonist plays by rules; there is an internal logic to Dresden's magical world. "The man or woman would have had to be there in the room with them. Tough to hide forensic evidence with something like that, and anyone who was skilled enough to pull off a spell like that would have had the sense to use a gun instead. It's easier."
Jim Butcher, the creator of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, will sign copies of Files and those of The Codex Alera, his fantasy series, at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore, 7051 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 5. In the meantime, "When things get strange," Dresden suggests at the end of Storm Front, "when what goes bump in the night flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, give me a call. I'm in the book." And so is Mysterious Galaxy, yes, the entire galaxy, at 858-268-4747.

#GPnews: Jeremy Hunt 'accidentally' flashes notes stating Brexit's devastating NHS impact

15:15 On the topic of the health secretary, Mr Hunt was apparently a bit reckless with his paperwork whilst on the way over to a Cabinet meeting at Number 10 this morning.
Photographers snapped a picture of notes he was carrying on the Brexit effect on the NHS, which said: 'Hard Brexit means people fleeing UK.'
But the Independent was among those to suggest that showing off the notes, which were in a very large font indeed, may not have been without purpose on the Brexit-opposed health secretary's part.
And the photographer who took the picture, tweeting from @PoliticalPics later said: 'Trust me it was no accident.'

12:10 Health secretary Jeremy Hunt and his ministers have been taking questions on health in the House of Commons in the last half hour.
One of the questions focused on GP numbers and the Government's target to have an extra 5,000 GPs in 2020 compared to 2015.
MPs pointed out it's not looking so promising, but general practice minister Steve Brine - answering his first-ever health question - said the Government remained 'committed' to the target.
Julie Cooper, the MP for Burnley said she spoke to a GP who, due to recruitment problems, had been able to take just one week's leave 'in the past three years'.
She asked how, when it takes 10 years to train a GP, the 5,000 target could realistically be met.
Mr Brine said: 'The good news is that more people are coming into general practice, and we want to continue to encourage that, but of course we also have to take action to prevent the early retirements and to bring people back to general practice, and we are indeed doing that.'
The health team was also asked about rising GP indemnity, to which Mr Brine repeated the commitment to provide 'appropriate' funding to mitigate inflation to indemnity in the short term, while working on longer term solutions.
11:20 Evey week a new person gets their hands on the @NHS Twitter account to 'share their NHS story'. This week it is Dr Abbie Brooks, a salaried GP in York. Follow her here.

10:50 The MDU has issued advice to GPs who may find themselves in a 'good samaritan' situation, having to help in a medical emergency whilst off duty.
They said to take into account:
- your safety - don't put yourself at unnecessary risk;
- your competence - don't try to work outside your abilities, or whilst under the influence of alcohol;
- the availability of other options - are more qualified or able people on the scene?
They added that where possible, doctors should also:
- make a detailed record of the incident and your involvement;
- obtain consent from the patient;
- explain your actions and treatment to the patient;
- have a witness or chaperone present, with the patient's consent where appropriate, particularly if you intend to conduct a physical examination.
Dr Beverley Ward, MDU medico-legal adviser said: 'In our experience, doctors frequently come forward to help in off-duty emergencies and they have an ethical duty to do so.
'In a survey about Good Samaritan Acts answered by 117 MDU members, the vast majority (88%) had experienced at least one incident where they had been called upon to help a person in distress.
'However, in 60 cases over the last five years, doctors have needed our help following the incident. Some have had to give a statement to the police or if the person died, to the coroner, while in three cases there was a complaint.
'Fortunately, complaints are rare and we are not aware of any doctor being sued. Additionally, the Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 helps to protect those acting in an emergency in England and Wales from legal action. The MDU also provides worldwide Good Samaritan act indemnity for our members.'
09:30 The chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies has said DNA tests should become routine within the NHS.
The CMO said this should begin with cancer and rare diseases but eventually become as commonly used as blood tests, reports the Guardian.
Acknowledging that some patients may be hesitant to hand over their genome for science, Dame Sally said: 'The age of precision medicine is now and the NHS must act fast to keep its place at the forefront of global science.
'This technology has the potential to change medicine forever – but we need all NHS staff, patients and the public to recognise and embrace its huge potential.
'Genomic medicine has huge implications for the understanding and treatment of rare diseases, cancer and infections.'

In the Times today:
Will people be happy with a database of their genetics? Insurance companies will not be allowed to see it but researchers may.
Professor Dame Sally Davies is blunt: if you don't allow genetic data to be gathered, your treatment will be worse as doctors will not understand the best way to treat you. After the debacle of the attempt to centralise GP records to boost research, she is banking on self-interest being more effective than altruism.
In the Guardian:
She talked of a new "social contract", in which the public recognises that they and everybody else will benefit if they allow data about their own genome to be studied.
I have read and re-read the above. Prof Davies says "if you do not allow data sharing you will receive worse treatment" Nothing about saving future lives with research from data sharing, it is specifically in the present tense in that 'share or be denied best treatment'.
This comment has been moderated.
Arrogance is ingrained in some, you could expect some humility and attempt to understand and not give ultimatums to people. Not becoming of a Professor, though can be becoming of a Dame as titles are for sale, aren't they? So any Tom or slippery Dick can win the lottery and buy a title by funding a political party.

Google DeepMind NHS app test broke UK privacy law - BBC News
Quote from this article:
The deal between the Royal Free(NHS Foundation Trust)and DeepMind first became public in February 2016 and caused controversy over the amount of patient information being shared without public consultation.
In March this year, an academic report into the way patient data had been handled found "inadequacies" in the way information had been handed over.
The authors said that it was "inexcusable" that patients had not been told about what had been happening to their data.
At the time, Google DeepMind said the report had "major errors" that misrepresented the way it and the Royal Free had used data.
This is quote from Wikipedia (moderate if you like):
Unusually for a British Chief Medical Officer, Davies does not have a background as a specialist in public health. Nevertheless, Davies has written and spoken extensively about the rise of antimicrobial resistance in medicine and animal husbandry, including carrying out work to raise its profile on the international scene.[13] Davies delegated authoring and editing her statutory annual reports to other doctors and healthcare practitioners, although she wrote an introduction to each and oversaw their compilation. She is particularly concerned about excessive alcohol consumption, especially by young women – who, she told the BBC in 2013, "we know can only take about half the alcohol that men can" and so are more prone to liver damage as a result.[14]
In July 2013, she was asked by the BBC whether she had ever favoured female doctors in order to counterbalance discrimination against them as a group. Davies replied: "I probably do positively discriminate because, as the men appoint in their own image, so do I appoint in my own image. I like having bright sparky women around, so I do understand how difficult it can be for the men to actually challenge the stereotypes and think differently".[7]
She regularly briefs Whitehall's most senior ministers and officials, including the Prime Minister herself. As of 2015, Davies was paid a salary of between £210,000 and £214,999 by the department, making her one of the 328 most highly paid people in the British public sector at that time.[15]
In her 2014 annual report, Davies said that the government needed to make tackling obesity a national priority. The report also made recommended a national audit of ovarian cancer, and challenged "taboos" around the menopause and incontinence "to make sure embarrassment is never a barrier to better health."[16]
In January 2016, Davies reduced the recommended weekly alcohol limit for men to that for women, in new guidelines warning of the association between alcohol consumption and some forms of cancer. The guidance gave a new weekly limit of 14 units, while at the same time saying there was no safe level of alcohol consumption.[17] The Financial Times said the two messages were "inherently contradictory"[18] and Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, revealed that drinking the maximum allowance set by Davies would be no more dangerous than eating bacon sandwiches or watching films.[19]

Baseball fans may want their ashes scattered in their favorite ball park. Hiking enthusiasts often choose to have their ashes scattered on their favorite trail. There are countless ways to memorialize a loved one, but probably none as unusual as turning their cremation ashes into a diamond. You can transform cremation ashes into a wearable treasure by following these steps. Or, more likely, by asking a specialist company to do it for you.
Place several ounces of ash in a crucible that can withstand massive heat.
Bring the temperature to just over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and allow all of the elements except the carbon to oxidize.
Continue to heat until the carbon has turned to graphite. The entire heating process will take a few weeks.
Place the graphite in a core with a metal catalyst and a diamond seed crystal.
Place the core in a diamond press.
Bring the temperature to about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure to about 800,000 pounds per square inch. Allow several weeks for the graphite to turn into a rough crystal.
Remove the crystal and use faceting tools to cut it to your specifications.
- Since it is unlikely that you will own the expensive machinery necessary to convert ashes to diamonds, you will probably want to hire a specialist company, such as LifeGem, to do it for you. Depending on the size and color of the diamond, this will usually cost between $2,700 and $20,000. See the company links for more information.
- Carbon can also be extracted from a lock of hair, for loved ones who will be buried rather than cremated.

It is often difficult for time-pressed teachers to create activities that are suitable for all types of learners in the primary classroom, especially when it comes to storytelling – activities such as remembering or rewriting can be challenging for some learners, while others are not challenged enough.
By using Bloom's taxonomy we can provide activities that involved a variety of thinking skills, providing learning opportunities for all the learners in a class.
During this webinar, Rachael Harris briefly presents Bloom's taxonomy, by giving examples from various stories for each level of learning skills, from remembering to creating, and then showing how she uses a variety of these learning skills when using "Giraffes can't dance" by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees. Participants share their ideas in the chat box.
Watch a recording of the webinar

Good website:
Web site is complete and informative.
Generally good, easy to get information from. ...
It is great!
Very useful, and I was able to get up and running reading them, without needing much other help.
It's one of the best places to find information about HPC.
Generally it is excellent.
The HPCF web site is easy to use and is full of pertinent information.
Very complete. ...
Provide additional or clearer information:
... Could never find out how to get names, owners of currently running jobs.
providing more dynamic information about the statics of usage.
IBM web pages lacked details on selecting number of pe's within a node for a long time.
It would be great if movies of the latest training sessions could be made available for the multimedia classes. It is great that the presentation files are available, but a video would be helpful, too. I was unable to find a video dealing with the IBM SP and debugging/developing tools for example. However there have already been training sessions and presentation files are available. However I feel that actually watching the presentation would help.
It took me a week to get a job script to work on the IBM SP first relying on the web information, then also on the consultants (who were generally very helpful). It is not clear which POE parameters need to be specified, such as when you run on just 8 processors on 1 node. What is on the web pages led me to set the wrong parameters. ...
More examples of everything would be helpful.
Improve searching:
I rely on the consultants to tell me which parts are relevant, and which parts are out of date. Its tedious to search through it for answers to a specific problem. Unless you know the answer, the searches don't yield solutions. Example I know about .login and .cshrc from the crays, but not about .login.ext and .cshrc.ext on the IBM. If I search for .login or .cshrc, the results don't lead easily to the .login.ext or .cshrc.ext. [Improve information about the Unix environment on the SP.]
search by date does not behave usefully since it seems all files have a recent date
The search facility uses a port which is blocked by my companies firewall. This is very inconvenient.
The search tool I haven't had much success with, but my own searching has been very effective. I have always found the information I'm looking for with pertinent examples and clear explanations. ...
It is very difficult to find specific information on the web site. The introductory write-ups are mostly good as far as they go, but do not provide enough information at the level that I usually need. For most questions that require timely answers I have to consult other people or call the NERSC consultants. I'm not sure what the best solution is. Better search and links to the manual pages would help, but often it is difficult to identify a simple search topic.
Problems navigating / better organization:
... The information is scattered about and it takes quite a while to look thru all of it to find what you need. It is not terrible, it could be much worse. But it could also be much better.
... Perhaps a grand index would be helpful as well.
... A bit complicated to navigate, however.
Remove outdated information / correct errors:
Some key pages are still Cray specific, for example the makefile examples page refers to the Cray machines when the IBM SP machines would be better.
Occasionally, the consultants and the web pages together are needed because there are small errors on the web pages.
Quite a few things are outdated
Don't use:
I have not looked at the web pages extensively yet.
Comments concerning the PDSF web site: 6 responses
Provide additional or clearer information:
For the most part I like the pdsf web site, but in the section on running jobs, for the LSF queuing commands it give bsub with a few options, but I know that there are other options out there (such as -w to wait for another job to finish) which are not mentioned. If you don't want to include all of the options to keep the page simple, then maybe you should point to another source for more detailed info.
NERSC response: The page that you mentioned is simple by design so that a new user gets enough information to get started without being overwhelmed with details. We provide access to the LSF manuals as well. It is available from our Software page: . If you follow the LSF link on that page you get access to all the manuals with a good indexing. PDSF also offers their users man pages that cover all the options of available commands. These facts should be mentioned at the end of the introductory page and we will do that.
Not enough information available. More FAQ would be useful.
NERSC response: The general FAQ page: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/help/faq.html and the experiment specific pages: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/help/Atlas_at_PDSF.html and http://www-rnc.lbl.gov/PDSF/ cover questions submitted so far. Users are most welcomed to submit suggestions via the support request form: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/help/sendpr_form.html . We will also solicit more FAQ candidates from users within the couple of next weeks.
Needs to more details. There should be lots of examples on how to use software. Also, there should links to things like Cern Library. Tutorials, etc.
NERSC response: PDSF works under assumption that that all the participating groups have their main computing resources at other locations and that users get help on how to use the experiment software there. We do not have the resources to provide experiment specific help, but users can find links to web pages for their experiments at: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/research.html . We also provide links (and space if needed) to PDSF specific group pages: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/help/project_help.html, but the pages have to be maintained by the groups themselves (see atlas and STAR).
We provide links from our Software page ( http://pdsf.nersc.gov/software/software.html) to a documentation for general purpose packages. That's where a link to the CERN Library page can be found: http://pdsf.nersc.gov/software/software.html#CERNlib. Actually an entry for each of the packages includes a link to its home page. Right now we are updating software pages following the system upgrade to RH 7.2 when lots of software had to be reinstalled. We welcome specific suggestions as to what kind of tutorials or documentation users would like to see.
I have passed along some recent suggestions to Iwona & Shane on ATLAS documentation on the PDSF web site. As always, they have been very responsive and helpful.
Good website:
Love it
Very good, I have no problems with it.
Comments concerning NIM: 20 responses
Issues with ERCAP or the allocations process:
Had trouble saving ERCAP in a format I could send around to others in my department using IE. The consultants were very helpful, but it took them a while to figure out how to do it. Also, there should be a spell checker built in to the ERCAP interface, as well as in this survey form.
... In general, it is far too difficult to obtain run time, and the time is not divided equally or fairly within repositories. This may be endemic to marrying time allocations with research proposals. It is also very difficult to obtain time mid-year if one changes jobs and there is no time available to his/her new institution.
I have never liked the ERCAP interface. I would prefer a system where the user prepares a proposal and submits it by email. The size limits on the current interface are much to small. The changes this year which deemphasized science and emphasized computing should be reversed.
It was awkward to prepare the ERCAP because jumping between pages was very difficult. I ended up doing it locally and pasting the pieces in when I was done
Last year I had trouble submitting a proposal via ERCAP, until a consultant suggested that the size limit had been exceeded in one case. An error message would have helped. This year I prepared detailed information on timing, in response to NERSC's request. But it turned out that the length limit had not been increased, so there was no way to answer the questions in the detail requested via the form -- and we had to put much of the information on a web page. Please be consistent!
... ERCAP is somewhat inconvenient, but manageable.
... Sometimes it would be nice to actively enforce the 4000 character limit, so you don't have to delete things after you enter them, but this is pretty minor.
kind of cumbersome to answer some of questions of working on sp when we are just working on porting thing there from the cray
Good interface:
Very useful interface!
Very convenient for PI's usage
In my opinion the NIM/ERCAP web site has been improved significantly in the last year, and I now find it much easier to use than I did when I first started.
NIM is great for managing accounts. ...
This is a great system
This is one of the best features of the web site, and is a easy and quick tool for both daily monitoring and the entire allocation process. I especially like how easy the ERCAP is to roll over previous allocation requests and save them while you continue working on them. ...
It works. NERSC staff is responsive on helping and making improvements.
Good for what it is supposed to do.
Problems with reliability:
Sometimes the getnim command is broken (gives error message)
NIM sometimes seems buggy, unreliable.
There were a few glitches, but the NERSC support staff were wonderful and things ran pretty smoothly.
Difficult to use:
The NIM login screen never accepts my password the first time. I always need to "try again".
Violates privacy:
violates privacy and facilitates spying on others, which has been noticeable and had negative effects in my opinion. Having proposals available may be ok. ....
Don't use:
I have yet to make the transition to really using the NIM interface...
I have not currently asked for a NIM password.
Comments concerning how NERSC keeps you informed of changes: 19 responses
Comments on using email:
I find the emails useful, however I would like to receive multiple reminders on the same issue. I accept that maybe other people don't want as much traffic, but if a major change is about to happen in a months, then from about 10 days in advance I would like to get an email about this every day. Maybe it is possible to configure this on a per user or per mailing list basis so that users can define how often they want to get this kind of information. ...
Email announcements are the most effective way for me to learn about changes.
Comments on the MOTD:
The message of the day is too long, I only recently bought an ssh that allowed me to scroll back to see the first part of it. Otherwise it just goes by too fast. ...
MOTD is quite long. I basically ignore it when I log in. If I have a problem, occasionally I think to "more" it, but not very often. Just seems like a pain. But I'm sure someone finds it useful, so I wouldn't get rid of it.
Comments on system outages:
Outages should be scheduled immediately following major conferences, rather than just before them, as often happens.
I think NERSC should do more system changes on weekends. This would affect the users less.
Satisfied / well informed:
I am very satisfied with the information policy. Iwona does a great job.
... In general however I feel well informed by NERSC about changes to their systems and during the time I used it mostly the system (IBM SP) was extremely useable with little changes.
I feel I am well informed.
You're doing very well in this regard!
They are doing a great job.
I am very satisfied with the current information.
Also the warning message from hsi is too long and isn't worth seeing thousands of times over and over again. It also effectively deletes the useful information obtained during a run since many scripts invoke hsi to save results, and that lengthy message just scrolls it right off screen and out of memory.
It would be nice to have some stability for a while. Things change too rapidly.
Unfortunately, sometimes the "cry wolf" effect applies here, and I don't always pay attention to things until you notice they change or don't work. But this is my own problem, in all cases it was my hastiness rather than lack of warning which caused an issue.

Communication with Parents
Ongoing communication and strong partnerships between our dedicated staff, the girls and their families are fundamental to the success of a SCEGGS Darlinghurst education.
A Parent Information Evening is held at the beginning of each year for all Primary School parents. A letter also goes home to parents at the beginning of each term, outlining the program of study for that term in each subject area.
Parents are encouraged to contact the school at any time to discuss their daughter's progress with any of her teachers. Likewise, teachers will contact parents throughout the year to report any particular successes or concerns.
Invitations for Primary School Parents
SCEGGS actively encourages parents to experience school life with their daughters by inviting them to attend:
- All Primary School Assemblies and Chapel services.
- A number of events held each year, such as concerts and sporting events.
- Regularly organised 'Open Classroom' sessions.

Set to hit the stage at Rebellion Festival in August are cult favourites Theatre Of Hate.
The Winter Gardens performance will close their summer shows for this year.
A spokesman said: "In 1980, Kirk Brandon formed Theatre Of Hate from the ashes of heralded punk band The Pack.
"Joining Kirk on vocals were notable punk musicians Stan Stammers and Luke Rendall, along with old school friend, Steve Guthrie and Canadian born John 'Boy' Lennard, who revolutionised the band's sound with his haunting sax lines."
Their debut double-A-side single Legion/Original Sin, topped the independent chart in 1980, and debut album Westworld, produced by Mick Jones from The Clash and released in 1982, held the number one position for 21 weeks.
The single taken from the album Do You Believe In The Westworld? has become an anthem and is still widely played in clubs and on international radio, as well as featuring on numerous compilation albums.
Reforming in 2014, they recorded a new album 30-plus years on, and it is getting label releases in Europe and America this year.
Catch them at Rebellion on Thursday, August 2.

What causes do you care most about?
I really enjoy volunteering with United Way, especially when we go to Mendez Middle School's monthly Friday events. I absolutely love working with kids; getting to teach them something or encouraging them to try something new – it's always great to see their growth.
Why do you believe it's important to volunteer?
It's important to volunteer because it's important to give back. In the world we live in today, I think it's important to realize what you have and think about how you can help someone less fortunate.
Why do you think Kerbey makes giving back one of its priorities?
Kerbey has the resources to create these programs and include its employees. Kerbey partakes in a wide variety of outreach efforts—we want to show that we not only have great food, but we have great people working here that want to help out.

A polar bear because I'm from up North. They are majestic, protective and fierce.

Scholarship Information
The Wichita Aero Club has announced the creation of the Edward W. Stimpson scholarship to honor the memory of the late President of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association and ICAO Ambassador and provide an annual award for applicants who seek to make a significant contribution to the aviation industry upon completion of their education.
Please note: Transcript required for scholarship consideration!
A Wichita Aero Club Scholarship Fund has been established with the Wichita Community Foundation, a 501 ( c ) 3 organization for the purpose of furthering the Wichita Aero Club's commitment to aviation-related education.
"We launched this scholarship now to help stimulate interest in and support of aviation-related curricula at learning institutions and to provide, initially, some help in defraying a significant portion of one semester's expenses for the recipients," explained John O'Leary, vice president of Engineering at Airbus North America Engineering and Chairman of the WAC's Education Committee. "Our intent is to increase the amount of the awards as we grow the Scholarship Fund through contributions, proceeds from our fund-raising events, including our annual golf tournament and Gala, and emulate the commitment to education demonstrated by Ed Stimpson.
O'Leary also noted that Ed Stimpson, the long-time GAMA President and ICAO Ambassador was "a true friend of aviation education, and a former Board Member of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. We have a branch of ERAU here in Wichita, located at McConnell Air Force Base and, even though, Ed was not from Wichita…or even the local region, his impact on general aviation and the many people who work in the Air Capital was significant. He, along with Russ Meyer at Cessna, helped spearhead the effort to pass the General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994, which helped preserve or create many thousands of jobs.
"During the 1990's, when Ed was President of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), a post he held for 25 years, he was the face of General Aviation on Capitol Hill. A long time advocate and supporter of aviation education, he graduated from Harvard and earned a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Washington. He also served for years on the Board of Trustees at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, holding the position of chairman of the board for seven years. Ed began his career in aviation as the head of Congressional Affairs for the Federal Aviation Administration under the Kennedy Administration. In 1970, he became president of the newly formed General Aviation Manufacturers Association, quickly assuming a leadership role in the direction of nearly every significant aviation policy issue of the era, including the establishment of the Airport and Airways Trust Fund, the allocation of aviation fuel during an oil embargo, and a strike by the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Association. Following his tenure at GAMA, he was appointed by President Clinton to be the United States representative to the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, with the rank of Ambassador. He retired from that position in 2005. Honoring Ed and his contributions to aviation and education by naming the Wichita Aero Club's annual scholarship is a fitting tribute to a true statesman and friend of all those who fly," O'Leary concluded.
The Wichita Aero Club (WAC) announced at its annual Trophy Gala on Saturday evening, January 25 that it is creating a scholarship for college or post graduate students in honor of former Cessna Public Relations Chief Dean Humphrey. The scholarship is the second created by the WAC. The Aero Club's other scholarship, named for former General Aviation Manufacturers Association President and International Civil Aviation Organization Ambassador Edward W. Stimpson, also provides financial assistance to college students who have declared a major or established a career path for a broad range of disciplines within the aerospace industry.
Please note: Transcript required for scholarship consideration!
"The Wichita Aero Club Dean Humphrey Scholarship will not only honor Dean's memory but is designed to support students who wish to follow his example into communications, administrative or other non-technical roles," said Dave Franson, President of the Wichita Aero Club. ."It especially fitting that it was unveiled at the fourth annual Wichita Aero Club Trophy Gala which honored Cessna Aircraft Company Chairman Emeritus Russ Meyer because Russ and Dean were colleagues and great friends throughout their time together at Cessna."
"Dean was an exceptional communicator…and a valued friend and mentor to me when I worked for him at Cessna in the 1970's," Franson added. "He set the standard by which communicators in our industry were measured and it's very gratifying to be able to honor his memory in this way. Our Education Committee will work with the Wichita Community Foundation to create the application and disseminate information on this award during the next few months and we will announce the first winner at the annual NBAA Convention in October. Like the WAC's Ed Stimpson scholarship, the initial Dean Humphrey award will provide $2,000 to the recipient. Our intention is to increase both the amount and frequency of both these scholarships as time goes on," he concluded. The Wichita Trophy Gala and the annual WAC Golf Classic are held each year to grow the Club's scholarship fund.
Born in Topeka, Kansas Dean Humphrey graduated from Holton High School. His resume included serving as the Vice President of Public Relations for Cessna Aircraft Company, and as spokesperson for King Radio before that. Earlier in his career, he earned rave reviews as a broadcaster on both radio and television for KCMO in Kansas City. Four years in the Air Force and a journalism degree from Kansas University also helped shape him. But, those impressive credentials and his deep, distinctive voice aside, what made Dean outstanding was the way he made people comfortable around him. Whether dealing with inquisitive and even aggressive journalists, aircraft customers, elected officials, or helping to put on the Citation Special Olympics Airlift, Dean utilized creativity, disarming humor and attentiveness to put people at ease. He had a scholar's grasp of the language and vocabulary, but he was a master at conveying facts in an efficient and understandable way that engendered well-deserved trust. When it came to representing his company, sharing information, or organizing the response to any situation, no one did it better than Dean. When he retired from Cessna in 1993 he was honored with the National Business Aviation Association's Order of the Silk Scarf, presented for significant contributions to general aviation.

text: Different monetary aggregates covary very differently with short term nominal interest rates. Broad monetary aggregates like Ml and the monetary base covary positively with current and future values of short term interest rates. In contrast, the nonborrowed reserves of banks covary negatively with current and future interest rates. Observations like this 'sign switch' lie at the core of recent debates about the effects of monetary policy actions on short term interest rates. This paper develops a general equilibrium monetary business cycle model which is consistent with these facts. Our basic explanation of the 'sign switch' is that movements in nonborrowed reserves are dominated by exogenous shocks to monetary policy, while movements in the base and Ml are dominated by endogenous responses to non-policy shocks.

Lately I've realized that #TheResistance could probably use a little help when it comes to Russia, because quite frankly, a lot of the woke crowd doesn't know dick about the country yet seems more than happy to give strong opinions about it and its involvement in the US election, to name a few issues.
As such, here's a handy guide for you "Resistors" out there, so you can sound more intelligent rather than come off as a liberal version of an Alex Jones fan.
Tip #1- Stop using Russian and Cyrillic in your protest
This doesn't really make sense and it looks stupid:
So does this:
Tip # 2- Stop using the hammer and sickle in reference to Russia
The Soviet Union broke up in 1991. This is the national symbol of the Russian Federation. Russia's authorities do not want to restore the Soviet Union. What they want is a sphere of influence in their old empire. They do not plan to rule directly, but rather through proxies and economic and military carrots and sticks.
Tip # 3- Stop labeling people paid trolls
Chances are if you're in #TheResistance, you lack the linguistic background and Russia knowledge to spot a paid troll. In fact, the English-language trolls have always been much fewer in number. They are a small part of the troll factory operation (the one we know of in St. Petersburg), which is largely aimed at the Russian domestic audience.
Just because you see a self-identified Trump supporter writing in poor English doesn't mean it's a twenty-something Russian in St. Petersburg. Remember that Trump himself speaks English at a fourth grade level. Many Americans are capable of sounding like complete morons online.
Tip # 4- No, Russia did not "hack the election"
The Dearest Leader and Reverend Mother Hillary Rodham Clinton (Glory to her name!) did indeed win the popular vote by 3 million, yet lost thanks to the electoral college plus some really poor campaigning in key states. If you manage to find evidence that America' Founding Fathers adopted the electoral college system on the advice of Catherine the Great (there were relations between the colonies and Russia during the war), then you might actually have a point.
If you want to prove that Russian hacking is what actually swayed the election, there are ways to prove this. Simply find concrete proof that Russians actually managed to hack into the computers that receive or tabulate the votes, and show how they changed them. If you say that Russian media or Russian-backed fake news swayed the election, that is verifiable as well. Someone can just conduct a scientific study to poll voters in those key states and see how many people changed their vote or decided to stay home after hearing about the leaked DNC memos or because they saw something on RT, Sputnik, or some other site associated with Russia in one way or another.
It's important to understand that Russia's authorities, from the best sources we have, never believed Trump would win. Hacking and interfering was meant to send a message to Hillary. There's also another possible goal, which was compromising the legitimacy of Hillary's win.
Think back to the Wikileaks DNC affair. The emails were so boring that a bunch of 4chan pedos had to concoct a tall-tale about Democrats running a child sex-slavery ring out of a pizza place (no doubt plucked from their own fantasies) in order to spice it up. But the main story from the emails that did get traction was the claims that the DNC conspired to sabotage Bernie during the primaries. A lot of people already believed this had happened, largely due to misunderstanding how superdelegates work. Now imagine if the thing everyone including the Russians expected to happen actually took place, i.e. Hillary won. Her victory would be marred by the conspiracy against Bernie in the primaries, then you've got Trump on his own claiming the election would be rigged if he lost, and finally you get stories about Russians trying to hack into various polling places. It's not hard at all to imagine the alt-right defectives pulling a complete 180 and claiming that the Russians actually helped Hillary win. Even those with an affinity for Putin's Russia would claim that Hillary won via hacking; they just wouldn't blame Russia.
The Russians were smart enough to see how radical America's fringe right have been becoming for years now, and they could guess what might happen if Hillary's win had a big asterisk next to it in the mind of those nutjobs. The domestic scandal wouldn't be as bad as what Trump has caused, but American society would be extremely polarized and that's basically Russia's goal. That Trump actually won turned out to be icing on the cake, but that brings us to the next tip…
Tip # 5- Trump is not an "agent" of Putin
I've explained in the past why the "pee tape" theory, excuse me, doesn't hold water. Putin doesn't need Trump to act as an agent- all he needs is Trump to do what he's been doing, i.e. acting like an idiot and causing lots of controversy back home. Making a mockery of American democracy is useful to Putin. Being an idiot who doesn't understand foreign policy is useful to Putin. Alienating allies is useful to Putin. Even if Trump isn't working directly in the Kremlin's favor, he tends to keep everybody distracted from what Russia is doing, which has had lethal consequences for people in Ukraine ever since the inauguration.
But with Trump set to meet Putin at the G20 tomorrow, there has been some speculation that Trump might be tempted to make some kind of "concessions" to Russia. I'd say that is a real danger, but not because of some kind of blackmail material or because Trump is a willing lapdog of Putin. The main problem is Trump is an ignorant moron and Putin, while not nearly the Bond-villain-like mastermind he's often portrayed as, is fairly good at charming certain people. Trump respects power, and Russia is power. Ukraine and Georgia are not. Trump will almost certainly respect the US' NATO requirements, but he's under no obligation to do anything for Ukraine. And as for congress, well, do you really want to trust today's Republicans to act principled if Putin offers them a sweet deal, particularly in the Middle East?
Tip #6 – Start doing research on your sources
Even though I never went to college a long time ago (incidentally around the time I would've been in college) I learned to check sources and credentials. The woke folks ought to do the same too. For one thing that's how you avoid embarrassing moves like implying The Moscow Times is some kind of Kremlin propaganda outlet.
Here are some useful questions to ask:
Does this person have academic credentials? What kind of credentials, exactly?
Have the spent significant time in Russia and do they know Russian?
Are they a lobbyist of some sort? Do they have any other pet causes that might explain their motives or at least give them some sort of bias?
Are their claims always sensational and outrageous, i.e. "Russia's on the point of collapse," "Russia's about to invade the Baltics," or a combination of both?
Do they tend to side with and resolutely defend anything seen as "anti-Russian," without regard for moral principle?
How long have they been writing about Russia-related issues? Did they start some time before 2014, when Russia started getting into the news a lot more? The longer they've been writing about Russia, the better.
What are they claiming to be? If they are presented as a Russia expert, do they have the credentials to back it up? When I give commentary, the only titles I use are blogger or journalist- both certifiably true. I don't claim any academic credentials, I typically just cite sources for serious claims.
And finally we get to the biggest tip of all…

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday commissioned INS Kolkata, India's largest indigenously built warship, at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai.
It is an advanced version, but significantly more versatile, of the Delhi-Class ships – INS Delhi, INS Mysore and INS Mumbai – which will add considerable teeth to India's maritime warfare capabilities with all-round capabilities against enemy submarines, surface warships, anti-ship missiles and fighter aircraft.
Defence minister Arun Jaitley and chief of naval staff Admiral RK Dhowan were also present during the ceremony
"INS Kolkata is entirely built in India and it is a symbol of self-reliance," said Modi while addressing the sailors at the commissioning ceremony.
"No country will dare to challenge India after commissioning of INS Kolkata. It will boost the confidence of the armed forces and the inspire youth at the same time," he added.
The PM said that his government has taken several steps for defence offsets in the budget.
"We dream to make India strong to export defence equipment to the world."
Defence minister Jaitley said the commissioning of INS Kolkata gives an impetus to the Indian Navy.
"I hope this ship will enhance our navy's capacity," said Jaitley.
Constructed by the Mazagon Dock Ltd (MDL), the 6,800-tonne Kolkata-class stealth destroyer has been designed by the Indian Navy's design bureau.
Its keel was laid down in September 2003 and the ship was launched in March 2006. It is the first of three such ships planned in this class – the other two being Kochi and Chennai.
Fitted with the most advanced weapons systems, including anti-submarine technology, this is the largest stealth destroyer constructed by the MDL and delivered to Indian Navy last month.
Built under the ambitious Project 15-Alpha, this would be one of the most formidable warships of this class and category anywhere in the world.
Its other prominent features include length of 163 m and width of 17.4 m, with a displacement of 7,500 tonnes and two helicopters on board.
Most of the weapons and sensors fitted on board are of indigenous make.
These include the state-of-the-art BrahMos surface-to-surface missiles, rocket launchers, torpedo tube launchers, sonar Humsa, EWS Ellora and AK-630 guns, giving it a defence capability to counter threats of enemy sea and air attacks.
The ship has been named after The City of Joy Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal and the biggest metropolis in east India.
The warship's crest befittingly depicts the landmark Howrah Bridge in the background and a leaping Bengal Tiger in the foreground, both symbolic of the country's cultural capital Kolkata.
This is Modi's second visit to Maharashtra in two months. Last month he visited the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai.

How to deal with heartbreak. Dealing with heartbreak isn't easy. Most of us have been through it and know what it feels like to get your heart broken. Don't you?
Everyone deals with heartbreak differently. Some don't know how to deal with it or handle being heart broken. Forgiving that person and moving on with your life will be what's best for you. If you don't forgive, you will always feel stuck and have all these questions running through your head. Why this why that, how and where did you go wrong. Even when it's not your fault why the relationship ended.
Some deal with heartbreak by eating comfort food, drinking alot, don't eat any at all, cry for hours/days. Some just don't show any emotion instead they keep it all inside. While some get ill because of how much he/she has taken it to heart.
One way to deal with being heartbroken is keeping yourself busy by doing things you love or been wanting to do. Pour your time and energy into your work or spend time with friends and loved ones instead of feeling sorry for yourself. I cannot stress enough about forgiving that person for whatever they have done. If you don't you will never move on and you will not get the closure you need. If it makes you feel better in asking what went wrong or why did that person hurt you, do so. Get the closure you need to move on.
Another thing is guys when you have just ended a relationship don't go jumping into another one so quickly. Give yourself time to heal. Don't go using others as a rebound to make yourself feel better because all your doing is hurting that person in the process. You of all persons should know what that feels like. If you need someone to talk or express yourself to do so instead of hurting yourself more and others in the process.
In giving yourself time to heal it will help you in learning to trust again, know exactly what your looking for in someone and what you don't want. It also helps you not to carry baggage from your past relationships into another, so give yourself time before you get back into dating.
Listen guys, let me tell you some thing you don't need a man or a woman in your life to be happy, because no one can make you happy but yourself. If you always depend on others for your happiness you will never be happy and you will always get hurt. Having a boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, husband or wife is just the added bonus to your life so don't depend on others for your happiness.
How do you deal with heartbreak? Do you depend on others to make you happy or do you make yourself happy?.
Always remember to BE YOU DO YOU AND LOVE YOURSELF.
