Benoni Country Club – Wedding of Laura and Glen
Laura and Glen's wedding was held at the Benoni Country Club. So I thought a bit of bowls would be in order! Good weather and just a great day out. I enjoy the country club's thick woods, with the light coming through the trees, which made for some really beautiful wedding photography images. Hope you enjoy them.Details

WSACleanup is declared
__declspec(dllimport) in the MinGW CRT headers.
That makes the object file to refer to
__imp__WSACleanup@0, to be resolved through a stub library of MinGW named
ws2_32 is mentioned in the
extra-libraries field of the
network package entry in the ghc package configuration database, so
-lws2_32 is added to the linker command arguments. From the linker documentation:
For instance, when ld is called with the argument `-lxxx' it will attempt to find, in the first directory of its search path, libxxx.dll.a xxx.dll.a libxxx.a xxx.lib cygxxx.dll (*) libxxx.dll xxx.dll before moving on to the next directory in the search path.
So the linker finds
libws2_32.a in one of the search paths passed on on the command line (through the built-in gcc specs, cf.

I wonder why GHCi doesn't also find

Replying to simonmar:

It doesn't. Only the stub file is linked in. The stub file is a peculiar to Windows way to produce an indirection/relocation. When the produced binary is executed, the Windows dynamic loader takes care of the
__imp__WSACleanup@0 symbol redirection/resolution.
I wonder why GHCi doesn't also find
libws2_32.a? Maybe it isn't on the search path for some reason.
It doesn't search for
libxxx.a, and the path searched does not include the location of the stub file. Also, I believe the PEI386 handling in rts/Linker.c currently would be unable to load such stub files.
Please, pardon my brevity, still looking into this.

libws2_32.a in MinGW-w64 is an archive combining objects created from a

comment:5 Changed 7 years ago by
To recap, the final linkage is done by the Windows dynamic loader using the DLL dependency information in the executable import tables. The partially linked object file
HSnetwork-126.96.36.199.o which GHCi tries to load for the
network package has no such information. In order for GCHi to be able to load such a package, it at least needs to:
- be supplied with that information (perhaps via
extra-ghci-librariesfields in the package's
- find the MinGW stub libraries the partially linked file depends upon (cf.
- know how to load the stub libraries (currently no
.idatasections processing in
comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by
Ehm, wasn't thinking straight, there's no need to load the stub libraries, as they're already linked into the partially linked object file. So
s/MinGW stub libraries/DLLs/ in (2) and
s/stub libraries/DLLs/ in (3).

|2283 → #2283 #3242
The confusion source is a similar bug #3242, where a reference to an undefined symbol
_copysignf is found in the partially linked object file
HSieee754-0.7.3.o of the
ieee754 package. The undefined symbol reference doesn't come directly from a MinGW-w64 stub library, though.
comment:8 Changed 7 years ago by
Notice that in #3242 the undefined reference to
_copysignf is still expected to be satisfied from a MinGW-w64 stub library named
libmingwex.a which happens to implement the actual function, as MSVCRT doesn't. As a result GHCi fails to load the
ieee754 package.
comment:9 Changed 7 years ago by
So, there're two issues to be resolved:
- (for #3242) arrange for GHCi to satisfy undefined references to symbols also via MinGW-w64 stub libraries (the list of which to be supplied by package authors via
- implement the indirect
__imp__*symbols resolution in GHCi.

WSACleanup just happens to come prior to other such symbols in the symbol table of the PLOF:

After all, we call a lot of functions that live in DLLs.
We only manage to do that for the fully linked by GNU ld executable images, which get loaded into the memory by the Windows dynamic loader, which, in turn, specially processes these 'import' symbols.
comment:12 Changed 7 years ago by
It's worth noting that the Windows dynamic linker doesn't actually care how the symbol names are prefixed. What matters is what PE/COFF section the symbols with the prefixes end up after the partial linkage by GNU ld. Cf. "The Imports Section" in An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable Executable File Format, Part 2 and "The .idata Section" in Microsoft PE and COFF Specification.

Rephrasing that made the issue become more apparent, thanks. Why is it that only some packages that import from foreign libraries get references to the
__imp_ prefixed symbols and most others don't? Most foreign functionality gets explictly declared and refered to using the Haskell FFI
foreign import declarations. Some functionality, though, gets declared and refered to implicitly, via C headers, as in the case with the
network package:

GCC: Declaring Attributes of Functions:On Microsoft Windows and Symbian OS targets, the dllimport attribute causes the compiler to reference a function or variable via a global pointer to a pointer that is set up by the DLL exporting the symbol. The attribute implies extern. On Microsoft Windows targets, the pointer name is formed by combining _imp__ and the function or variable name.
The codegen has no control over the symbol name emitted, unlike the explicitly declared imports cases:

foo. Regardless of how this
foo is prototyped: as bare
foo or as
__declspec(dllimport) foo a client program will happily call it, but depending on a prototype in different ways: in the first case this will be
call foo and if this symbol is external a linker will generate a thunk for this
foo as
jmp __imp_foo, in the second case a C compiler always generates
call __imp_foo.
Thus the single thing matters here: which prototype of a function was visible to C compiler when it compiled a code calling that function. If that prototype had
__declspec(dllimport) attribute attached, a C compiler generated a call against
__imp_foo, otherwise - a call against bare
foo. GHC FFI of modern era (with no C backend) always generates the second variant AFAIK.
This also explains the difference between 32 and 64 GHCs for Windows. 64-bit GHC is distributed with mingw-w64 headers which use
__declspec(dllimport) extensively, and many packages fail to compile. 32-bit GHC is distributed with mingw headers which has almost (or entirely?) no
__declspec(dllimport) declared APIs.
To make 64-bit GHC usable on Windows I manually removed all
__declspec(dllimport) from mingw-w64 headers and now it all works smoothly.
Hope this helps.

Is this now fixed with the Windows linker fixes in 7.8.1?

Over the past couple of days I have been at a studio in South London shooting content for a conference. The material consists of three actors playing five parts. It will be displayed over the duration of the conference on three screens, two portrait 9:16 ones to the left and right of the stage, and a middle one behind which is normal landscape 16:9
The actors are working off scripts, but almost every script has an alternative version we had to record. Added to that, the actors are moving between the screens ie they walk out camera right on the left screen and then walk in camera left on the right screen. In total there are just shy of 150 clips to be delivered. We eventually ended up with just over 330 discreet video files at around 500GB as we were shooting 4K.
On the second day, instead of using a traditional clapperboard, we decided to try Movieslate running on an iPad Pro. The Movieslate was synced to the sound recordists Timecode Systems timecode generator, which was also feeding the camera.
We set Movieslate up so that the Title field was part of the script we were working on. i.e "my story - start", "my story - middle" "my story - end" and things like "into break" and "out of break".
Using Movieslates snippets meant it was a) quick to change and b) there was consistency across all the clips. We used data fields for Character name, Actor and which screen we were shooting for. We also had a "Alt script field" which we turned on and off as needed and a few clips were MOS.
Whats great about Movieslate is that you can customise pretty much how you want it and were quickly able to set it so title, character, actor and screen would come up before the board, giving the editor a very quick and easy to read description of what they were looking at. We also made sure file names matched across the board, camera and audio recorder.
They day actually went so long that by the end of it the AC was very adept at switching the info on the slate.
After we finished filming, I simply exported the shot log out of Movieslate and hey presto, there it all was: All the information you could need to work out what is what neatly arranged in a PDF.
But I had something else I wanted to try..
One Movieslate's export options is FCP X, and even though I am not editing this project I was curious to see just how well the process of getting the slate info into FCP X worked.
Well it just does. And its amazing and truly revolutionary…
The workflow is really simple:
Export the Movieslate history to your computer (either directly or via an email).
Ingest the footage into FCP X
Once all the footage is ingested, export an XML out of FCP X.
Import both the Movieslate history file and the XML into Movieslates free Keyclips app.
Keyclips then matches the clips from the XML with the entries from Movieslate. It does this matching timecode, date and frame number if its selected.
After the matching process you click on export an XML which brings up various export options - these are quite impressive and extensive so its worth going back onto Movieslate and understanding all the options depending on your production.
The last stage is to export the XML from Keyclips and import it back into FCP X.
After a moment or two, as if by magic all the information logged on set appears next to the clips in the browser. Keyclips creates a new event which contains all the keywords from the information selected with notes appearing as markers within clips.
In my case the new event contained keywords for each actors name, each character name, script title, circled takes and which screen (L, R, M). So within a matter of minutes the logging process of the edit is done, no more sorting clips into bins or adding note information.
Using FCP X's smart collection facility it would then be really quick to set up collections based on Character X, Screen L, Circled takes.
And thats it. Half the battle of the edit is done and you are just looking at the good takes.
If I was editing this I'd be laughing by now as all the leg work done by an assistant editor is done.
Now I know FCP X isn't everyones cup of tea, but this kind of functionality is so incredibly powerful that I cannot understand for a project like this why you wouldn't use it. I sent a screen grab of the FCP X browser screen to the producer so we shall see what they say.
I know Movieslate been around for ages ,but for various reasons I never managed to exhaustively test it like this before but I am so glad I did. I am lined up to shoot quite a few big projects like this over the next few months and Movieslate is now firmly on the kit list.
Just a note on why we didn't use scene numbers: The AC had been taught the British way which is not to Slate numbers as scene numbers. Personally I prefer the US way but we were into the shoot before I noticed.

When Ronald Olthof and his partner, Sofie Suiker, decided to buy a home, their first instinct was to find an old building they could renovate. An abandoned industrial space, maybe.
They never dreamed they would end up in a church. But that was before a higher power intervened.
"We originally wanted to buy an old factory," said Mr. Olthof, 39, an architect with the firm Leijh, Kappelhoff, Seckel, van den Dobbelsteen, in Hengelo, a city in the eastern part of the Netherlands. And they almost did, he added, "But that deal fell through."
Then they happened to see a vacant church, in Haarlo, a small town nearby. And they had a good feeling about it, he said. Particularly after they met some of the neighbors. "We discovered that one came from Sofie's home city of Amsterdam," he said. "And another came from my hometown of Borne."
It wasn't until they went home to deliberate, though, that they got the definitive sign that it was meant to be: a letter telling them that the house they were renting was about to be demolished.
Ms. Suiker, 37, was convinced. "How many more signs from above do we need?" she asked Mr. Olthof.
After a certain amount of back and forth, the couple bought the 1928 chapel, which had been used by the Dutch Reformed Church, in March of 2011 for 130,000 euros (about $177,000) and set about converting it into a home.
Since Mr. Olthof is an architect and Ms. Suiker is a stylist and the head window dresser for the fashion label Gant, they did the planning and designing themselves. The concept they came up with was a simple one: strip (in other words, reduce the building to its essential elements); isolate (emphasize the most interesting of those elements by surrounding them with lots of space); and furnish (sparingly).
"It was a conscious choice not to fill the entire 1,100-cubic-meter space" — nearly 39,000 cubic feet — "with as many rooms as possible, but to minimize the demands in order to retain the spaciousness of the building," Mr. Olthof said. "We wanted to change as little as possible."
Still, there was plenty of work involved. Several Dumpsters worth of rubble had to be removed, along with three ceilings, a wooden floor, some wall paneling and a poorly constructed annex added in the 1960s. The renovation was finally completed in June of 2012, at a cost of about €250,000.
The transformation is an arresting mix of the heavenly and the ungodly. Visitors are confronted with a muted gray mural of angels and a white stucco interior that glows with light from restored stained-glass windows — but also with a blood-red stairway leading to the master suite on the second floor. The stair is housed in a modern structure clad in recycled church flooring that also holds storage and some kitchen functions. (The couple call it their Stairway to Have Fun.)
Where the altar once was is now the home office — a comment, perhaps, on the role of work in modern life? On the other side of the nave, near the entrance, will be a nursery (the couple are expecting twins in August). And the monastery garden has been turned into the couple's outdoor seating area, where a flock of what they call their "lost sheep" — little wooden ones — graze on the lawn.
"We have a motto that sums up the essence of the house for us: cherish your inner child, remain pure, playing, exploring and a little bit naughty," Mr. Olthof said. "I think the design of our home represents that."
He added: "We honor the holiness, but bring something innocent and mischievous to its modern form."

Mind Control
Showing and training has more to do with a rider's mind, focus and attitude than it does having a thousand tools in your toolbox. The mind is free, malleable and easily accessible, and not one of your other tools will be effective unless you have control of it. That's not to say that some riders seemingly have no connection with their brain; it's there, it just hasn't been engaged and may be a little rusty from lack of use. For a rider, controlling the mind and re-defining its output can breathe life into an otherwise lack lustre performance or ride. Controlling the mind is one of the more difficult tasks that a rider faces. It takes dedication, time and an objective sense of self; no longer accepting the bounty of lies the mind conjures up.
As a trainer, it is not uncommon to explain to a client that they are doing one thing and have them then come back with, 'I wasn't doing that… Was I?' The answer to that question is a resounding 'Yes!' The brain lies to the rider, convincing them that they have been doing one thing all along only to find out, or better yet see on video, that they have been doing something entirely different. I don't know one trainer who wilfully lies to a client about what they are doing in the saddle. We know it's hard enough to understand and put in practice our words of wisdom without muddying the issue.
A rider can tell their brain to apply a leg, keep a and quiet or stay square in the saddle and they actually believe their mind is intertwined with their body; when in fact the leg didn't get applied, the hand was as busy as a 'bobby' directing traffic and they were moving around in the saddle like a drunken sailor. Thus, begins the lie. Overcoming those libellous fibs takes time and a little lie detecting on the part of the rider. Believe what the trainer is conveying and for the moment focus on the task at hand. Once it becomes second nature; the rider has accomplished a goal. They have successfully redirected their brain, completing the first level of mind control and are now riding 'towards the light.'
One of the most common mistakes I see in and out of the show pen is someone urging their horse forward into the lead departure with both legs and suddenly the horse takes the wrong lead leaving the rider in dust thinking, 'What the Hell just happened?' The rider's brain just told them a little white lie. The mind tells the rider that they applied the outside leg, but in fact the inside leg was the last one to be engaged. The truth is seen in the result.
Since I mentioned the show pen, let's go there. How many times have you completed a pattern or left the show pen thinking, 'God that was awful!' then, upon seeing the video, it looked much better than your mind told you it was? You believe the lie, just like the time your child told you they didn't do it. That one brief moment is a good indicator that a little more mind control is called for.
Overcoming those libellous fibs takes time and a little lie detecting on the part of the rider
I was working with a client one day on circling and when she rode through the middle of the pen her horse did an immediate turn into the circle and stopped. Since I know that most riders practice their mistakes, the next time she started through the middle I told her horse, 'Okie, turn left and stop,' and he did so, right on cue. We repeated this several times until I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt, tears were running down my face and I almost pee'd my pants. Every time her horse turned left and stopped, she would ask, 'Why is he doing that?' I said, 'hmm … don't know.' Finally, she asked the right question, 'What am I doing that is causing him to do that?' I told her she did not ride through the centre, stay engaged with her horse and guide. She swore up and down that was exactly what she was doing. I told her to humour me and try it again. She was amazed that the problem was instantly fixed. In her mind she was riding through centre and was engaged with her horse, but Okie and I both knew he was just following her lead. Once I brought it to the surface she took control of her mind and body, and rode perfect circles. Yep, the mind is a wonderful thing.
So, how can a rider effectively control their mind and thus gain better control of their horse? Don't practice your mistakes! If need be stop, sit, think, analyse and replay the situation in your mind. Visualise what you were doing, trust that your horse is telling you the truth and focus in on what you want to do. Just because you think it, it doesn't mean that it automatically happens. While some horses may only whisper the truth, others will scream in the rider's face, 'Listen up!' A rider needs to think of their horse as an extension of their trainer.
As with everything controlling the mind is a process that is longer for some and shorter for others. No it doesn't take forever, but it feels like it!

microDimensions announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued the US Patent 2015/0016703 A1 for its method for image registration of sections, in particular of histological sections. The patented technology enables fast and accurate alignment of whole slide and other large images up to the scanned resolution.
A single histological section can easily require more than 1 GB of storage space. When handling multiple images of this size during the alignment the limits of storage capacity available today can rapidly be exceeded. To solve this problem and enable efficient digital pathology workflows microDimensions has developed a unique image registration technology that uses a quadtree-like data structure to partition an image into cells with individual local transformations on multiple resolution levels. This can tremendously speed up the alignment of a region of interest at high resolution, as only a subset of cells is to be processed. The use of local transformations significantly increases the final alignment quality to an accuracy that is only limited by the scanner resolution.
The patented technology is used in the 3D histology software Voloom® to enable fast 3D reconstructions from serial sections. Voloom can reconstruct 3D volumes in a matter of minutes and by this enables researchers to effectively use 3D reconstructions in their daily workflows. More information on Voloom
Slidematch™, the latest addition to the microDimensions product line, uses the registration technology for the alignment of differently stained sections to perform e.g. multiplex analysis or compute scores for improved cancer classification. More information on Slidematch
microDimensions is a spin-off company of the Technische Universität München and has a strong scientific background in the field of image registration. The patented technology was developed in house. "The patent is an important milestone for the company and a major component of our intellectual property. Fast image registration is essential to our products, since it enables a seamless combination of large image files as required by digital pathology workflows." says Martin Groher, CEO of microDimensions.


text: So this is something fun I seem to be doing more of lately and I just love it! You know how you give one year old their own little cake on their birthday and totally let them go to town on it! What about doing it as a photo opportunity. I have photographed baby "C" several times over the last year and he is so much fun! Take a look at what we came up with! It was so funny, because at first he was very tentative, he kept wondering why we were giving him the cake. As you can see he loved playing with it! Lucky for his parents, he liked playing with cake way more than eating it!

Silver Is The Way!
When it comes to fashion trends I tend to take on elements of what's popular. One trend that totally captured me this season is silver fashion! Metallic clothing items really bring some fun edginess to a look, they work in all seasons and give ladies like me that little extra shine we love! Another trend that has really taken a life of it's own this season is fun velvet. Elvi recently gave me the opportunity to review one of their items. You can only imagine my thoughts when I got the chance to combine the 2 trends not only in an outfit but a single item!
The nude gold coloured velvet of this t-shirt is easily worked into a variety of outfits. I like that it's a neutral shade and compliments all skin tones. The velvet is light on the skin but has a nice amount of stretch also. I'm wearing this one in a size 24. I am currently obsessed with not just silver items but chrome silver! The different sized chrome loops are a really fun feature on the pocket of the t-shirt. They add that little something extra to the item that makes it stand out.
When I got this top I knew that I had the perfect pair of heels to wear with it. I had been hunting for a pair of silver chrome stiletto heels since I had seen that the trend was coming several seasons ago! The challenge was finding an affordable pair that was comfortable and sexy at the same time. I found this pair at Asos several weeks ago. Unfortunately they are sold out but here is a similar pair if you want a pair of your own.
When it comes to velvet items they tend to bring out my sexy side. Feeling fun, flirty and a very fashionable makes dressing all the more enjoyable. In completing this outfit I wanted a really simple selection of colours. Black goes with everything of course so I selected a leather skirt, fish net tights and my largest silver hoop earrings. I have a range of style ideas when it comes to wearing this top. It can be worn with jeans, wet-look leggings and all kinds of skirts.
I think it's important to select clothing items that make you feel confident, comfortable and fabulous. I find that even when pushing the boundaries there are ways to expand and experiment. You may have noticed I've been wearing a lot of skirts lately. I guess you could say I'm trying to improve my skirt game and get that bit more confident in showcasing my legs. There are many ways of playing around with fashion so get to trying I say!
I'm going to start as I mean to go on and will be on the hunt for more silver and velvet items. The party season is coming with Halloween, Christmas and New Years so why not?! Shiny things and glamorous velvet are perfect for the winter and will always work year in year out!
Speaking of Silver you may remember earlier in the year I wore a fabulous trench coat. This was another fab item from Elvi. Check out their current collection for some fab edgy styles this season.

This mod aims to bring strategic combat to the Babylon 5 universe. We'll start off with the Earth Alliance vs. the Minbari and go from there once we have those two complete factions.
Most of the cons are minor things that are not totally gamebreaking, overall 8/10 scoring bonus points for modeling detail and overall gameplay, points lost for lack of EA repair capacity, limited tech tree and a slow moving AI.
- Its Babylon 5, what more can i say?!
- Ships, weapons and effects are highly detailed and true to the bab5 franchise, including the hyperspace effects.
- Ai not as "skittish" as other mods, intelligent enough to defend itself adequately.
- "capture mode" gameplay stymies "stiff leg" syndrome, encouraging players to fight over objectives to gain resources and ships, as well as the ability to hyperspace in reinforcements.
- Music from a cancelled Babylon 5 "Wing Commander" styled game, circa 1999.(See: Babylon 5: Into the Fire)
- Ships firepower and armor accurately represent those of Babylon 5.
- Currently has a limited tech/upgrade tree.
- Only 2 factions so far, also currently only has one game mode.
- No provision for Earth Alliance ships to repair, not even limited self-repairs, while Minbari ships all self repair over time - waiting on a unit that currently does not exist.
- Strike-craft combat can be a little weird with squadrons breaking and flying out obscene distances away from eachother.
- Starbases are very hard to hit unless you have a precise angle of attack, pulse cannons and beam weapons are the worst culprit here as the hardpoints seem to fix dead forward even on ships with turreted beams (Omega).
- Missile weapon velocity slower than strikes, also some missile attacks seem to just circle around their target rather than hit.
- AI somewhat dense when attacking, using single squads of fighters instead of caps and frigates to attack bases, even on highest difficulty settings.

"Be careful, Amir," he said as I began to walk. "Of what, Baba?"
"I am not an ahmaq, so don't play stupid with me." "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Remember this," Baba said, pointing at me, "The man is a Pashtun to the root. He has nang and namoos." Nang. Namoos. Honor and pride. The tenets of Pashtun men. Especially when it came to the chastity of a wife. Or a daughter.
"I'm only going to get us drinks."
"Just don't embarrass me, that's all I ask." "I won't. God, Baba."
Baba lit a cigarette and started fanning himself again.
I walked toward the concession booth initially, then turned left at the T-shirt stand-where, for $5, you could have the face of Jesus, Elvis, Jim Morrison, or all three, pressed on a white nylon T-shirt. Mariachi music played overhead, and I smelled pickles and grilled meat.
I spotted the Taheris' gray van two rows from ours, next to a kiosk selling mango-on-a-stick. She was alone, readirig. White ankle-length summer dress today. Open-toed sandals. Hair pulled back and crowned with a tulip-shaped bun. I meant to simply walk by again and I thought I had, except suddenly I was standing at the edge of the Taheris' white tablecloth, staring at Soraya across curling irons and old neckties. She looked up.
"Salaam," I said. "I'm sorry to be mozahem, I didn't mean to disturb you."
"Is General Sahib here today?" I said. My ears were burning. I couldn't bring myself to look her in the eye.
"He went that way," she said. Pointed to her right. The bracelet slipped down to her elbow, silver against olive.
"Will you tell him I stopped by to pay my respects?" I said. "I will."
"Thank you," I said. "Oh, and my name is Amir. In case you need to know. So you can tell him. That I stopped by. To ... pay my respects."
I shifted on my feet, cleared my throat. "I'll go now. Sorry to have disturbed you."
"Nay, you didn't," she said.
"Oh. Good." I tipped my hed and gave her a half smile. "I'll go now." Hadn't I already said that? "Khoda hafez."
"Khoda hafez."
I began to walk. Stopped and turned. I said it before I had a chance to lose my nerve. "Can I ask what you're reading?"
She blinked. I held my breath. Suddenly, I felt the collective eyes of the flea market Afghans shift to us. I imagined a hush falling. Lips stopping in midsentence. Heads turning. Eyes narrowing with keen interest.
What was this? Up to that point, our encounter could have been interpreted as a respectful inquiry, one man asking for the whereabouts of another man. But I'd asked her a question and if she answered, we'd be ... well, we'd be chatting. Me a mojarad, a single young man, and she an unwed young woman. One with a history, no less. This was teetering dangerously on the verge of gossip material, and the best kind of it. Poison tongues would flap. And she would bear the brunt of that poison, not me—I was fully aware of the Afghan double standard that favored my gender. Not Did you see him chatting with her? but Wooooy! Did you see how she wouldn't let him go? What a lochak!
By Afghan standards, my question had been bold. With it, I had bared myself, and left little doubt as to my interest in her. But I was a man, and all I had risked was a bruised ego. Bruises healed. Reputations did not. Would she take my dare?
She turned the book so the cover faced me. Wuthering Heights. "Have you read it?" she said.
I nodded. I could feel the pulsating beat of my heart behind my eyes. "It's a sad story."
"Sad stories make good books," she said.
"They do."
"I heard you write."
How did she know? I wondered if her father had told her, maybe she had asked him. I immediately dismissed both scenarios as absurd. Fathers and sons could talk freely about women. But no Afghan girl—no decent and mohtaram Afghan girl, at least, queried her father about a young man. And no father, especially a Pashtun with nang and namoos, would discuss a mojarad with his daughter, not unless the fellow in question was a khastegar, a suitor, who had done the honorable thing and sent his father to knock on the door.
Incredibly, I heard myself say, "Would you like to read one of my stories?"
"I would like that," she said. I sensed an unease in her now, saw it in the way her eyes began to flick side to side. Maybe checking for the general. I wondered what he would say if he found me speaking for such an inappropriate length of time with his daughter.

Stylish, quick, and highly efficient, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is a first-rate compact car with all the premium trappings of its less affordable competitors like the Hyundai Accent.
The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 starts at only $13,995 MSRP, while the 2017 Hyundai Accent will cost you a minimum of $14,745.* The Mirage G4 allows you to customize and select features you want for a fully individualized driving experience, whether that's adding navigation and entertainment through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto or a smooth CVT transmission option for easy cruising.
Speaking of easy cruising, there's no other car in its class that will give you the same mpg as the Mitsubishi Mirage G4. Earning 42 mpg highway**, it blows away the Hyundai Accent's paltry 37 mpg highway estimation***. Mitsubishi didn't cut corners to earn this EPA rating; in fact, the brand expanded them.
The 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 also leads the pack with best-in-class legroom plus considerable cargo space for a comfy, convenient compact driving experience. The Hyundai Accent seems to take a "you-get-what-you-paid-for" attitude toward interior comfort, with average cargo capacity and cramped seating areas.
By blending cost-effectiveness, class-leading efficiency, a spirited drivability, and undeniable comfort, the 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 proves itself to be one of the best compact cars on the market. But don't take our word for it; test drive the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 today at Pantili Mitsubishi.
*MSRP excludes destination charges, tax, title, and license fees. Destination charges and actual dealer prices may vary. Vehicles displayed may contain optional equipment at additional cost.
**EPA mileage estimate for CVT-equipped models. Actual mileage may vary.

One of the hardest things for any internet marketer is to figure out what to focus on. Marketing is overwhelmingly broad and you could pretty much do 10000 different things. How to set internet marketing goals and objectives? What's most important? Answer: building marketing assets.
7 Ways that Predictive Analytics Is Transforming Ecommerce
Predictive analytics can help you understand your customers, and even know what they're going to buy before they do.
What are marketing assets? The terminology was created by Seth Godin, who" talked about marketing assets here>. In his words:
For a marketer, an asset is a tool or a platform, something you can use over and over without using it up. In fact, it's something that gets better the more you invest.
Running an ad is an expense. Building a brand people trust is an asset.
Buying a trade show booth is an expense. Having a permission marketing list of people who want to get anticipated, personal and relevant emails from you is an asset.
The answer is right there. Your marketing goals and objectives should focus on building the following:
- building your reputation and brand,
- building your (permission based) mailing list and building the relationship with the people on that list,
- building your blog / Twitter / Facebook / etc audience, both in quality and quantity.
Now every time you have the question "what should I be doing?", you can take action based on whether an activity helps you build a marketing asset or not.

History of Retirement Benefits
for Toronto Diocesan Priests
There were two prior benefit programs for Toronto's diocesan priests. The first was the St. Michael's Mutual Aid Society, established in the Archdiocese of Toronto (during the administration of Archbishop Pocock) in 1962. Originally, it was directed by elected representatives of the diocesan priests but the archdiocesan staff assumed responsibility for it on January 1, 1970 because of administrative challenges that arose during the 1960s (including new Canada Pension Plan requirements, more priests retiring, etc.).
The St. Michael's Mutual Aid Society was renamed the Mutual Benefit Fund and provided:
- Ontario Health Plan Premiums ;
- Blue Cross Extended Benefits;
- Monthly retirement benefits; and
- Retreat fees for retired priests.
It also covered the costs of extended institutional care for priests with health challenges.
The Society received additional funding in 1972 when Archbishop Pocock established a Retirement Fund Reserve with an initial capital of $1.2 million. Interest on this capital was used to supplement the monies required to meet the obligations of the Mutual Benefit Fund. As financial obligations for the retired priests increased this Retirement Fund Reserve was drawn on and eventually depleted. Any additional shortfall was covered by the Archdiocese.
Diocesan priests did, for a time, contribute to the costs of the medical benefits premiums, though this was eventually discontinued.
No personal contribution for retirement benefits was enacted. The parishes and other ministries covered the costs through an assessment, as is the practice today.
Canon Law
Canon 281.1:"Since clerics dedicate themselves to the ecclesiastical ministry, they deserve the remuneration that befits their condition, taking into account both the nature of their office and the conditions of time and place. It is to be such that it provides for the necessities of their life and for the just remuneration of those whose services they need."
Canon 281.2:"Suitable provision is likewise to be made for such social welfare as they may need in infirmity, sickness or old age."
To meet these responsibilities and address the seriously under-funded circumstances of the Mutual Benefit Fund. The Archdiocese of Toronto explored setting up a trust, supported by a group of dedicated laypeople who realized the need for one.
Their recommendations led Archbishop Ambrozic to establish The Shepherds' Trust on August 1, 1996.

Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong advises Singaporeans to stay indoors as much as possible as the smog from neighbouring Indonesia worsens dramatically, causing unprecedented levels of air pollution. Singapore's pollution standards index hit a record level of 401 which is above the "hazardous" classification that can aggravate respiratory ailments. The previous record before this week was in 1997, when the index reached 226.
Indonesian Forest Fires
Smog from Indonesian forest fires has affected Singapore and Malaysia many times in the past at this time of year however the severity of this week's episode has strained diplomatic ties. Officials in Singapore have said Jakarta must do more to stop plantation owners and farmers staring fires to clear land cheaply on Sumatra Island. "This is now the worst haze that Singapore has ever faced," the country's environment minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, wrote on his Facebook page. Singaporeans have complained of coughs, shops are sold out of face masks, air traffic controllers at Changi airport were told to take precautions due to lower visibility and some hospitals shut windows in wards caring for elderly patients.
The Prime Minister told a news conference that the haze was expected to persist for a number of days because of the weather conditions. He also announced the formation of a government panel to protect public health and the country's economic resilience. Indonesian officials have defended their response to the haze, saying the government is educating farmers about alternatives to traditional slash-and-burn agriculture. There have also been suggestions that some of the fires might be blamed on Singaporean and Malaysian companies involved in Indonesia's plantation industry.
Air Quality Services
Across the UK and internationally, through the use of Air Quality Assessments, REC's Air Quality Consultants work to ensure communities are not exposed to poor air quality, as well as controlling emissions to acceptable International and European Standards. REC undertakes dispersion modelling assessments to help protect sensitive receptors such as schools, hospitals and residential areas from high pollution levels and associated health effects, and stack emissions monitoring to ensure compliance with all relevant emission levels.

Learning Framework
ScienceAdd to Favourites
The discipline of Science is based on the use of observations and evidence to develop knowledge about the world around us, how it works and how we can use this information to create meaningful change.
Science is offered as an elective course of study in both the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Ravenswood is committed to promoting the involvement of girls in Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Year 10
Science in Year 10 forms part of the integrated Years 7–10 Science Curriculum. Please refer to the Middle Years Science content.
HSC and IB Diploma
Having laid the foundations of knowledge and skills in the broad scope of Science in Years 7–10, the study of Science in Years 11–12, allows students to select specialist subjects to gain a deeper level of understanding in the areas in which they wish to focus.
In both the HSC and IB Diploma, students can further their studies by selecting Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The nature of these courses allow students the opportunity to extend their understanding, by utilising both research-based and practical investigations. Practical skills, problem-solving, data collection and analysis and the ability to make valid conclusions, are all skills which are fostered and developed during the study of these subjects. Students are given opportunities to work both individually and collaboratively.
Biology explores living organisms, from the cellular to the highest levels of structure, from the molecular to the macroscopic. Students study both the commonality and diversity of life, looking at the interactions within an organism and between organisms. The structures and functions found in living things are studied, as well as the needs for growth. The scientific evidence for the origins of life and subsequent development is deliberated, as are the impact of humans on living systems and the environment.
Chemistry is the study of both natural and synthetic materials, their structural composition and their interactions. From the atomic level, a broad range of chemical reactions are considered, looking at changes which result in both matter and energy content. Patterns in the structure of matter and reaction of chemicals are identified, determining features which create similarities and differences. These features are then assessed to determine the appropriate use of these chemicals, based on their chemical and physical properties. The use of chemicals in industry and their environmental impacts are also studied, identifying techniques to maximise yield of product, while minimising potential environmental issues.
Physics is the study which investigates natural phenomena, identifying laws and forces which explain the physical behavior of the universe. Physics deals with a broad range of topics, from the subatomic to entire galaxies, and all things in between. Physics involves the understanding of natural fundamentals, such as force and energy, their variations and their impact on our life. Classical topics such as astronomy, motion, waves, electricity and magnetism are studied, along with the investigation of the advancement of technology in fields such as communications, medical imagery and space travel. These studies highlight that Physics is a living Science, with an ever-increasing depth of knowledge.

Our Way: 'trust children'
August 9, 2015 | About School | No Comments|
We have created a community of adults who have made a promise to 'trust children' – difficult because to trust children we must trust ourselves. We have to break a long downward cycle of fear and distrust ingrained in us as children. This takes a long leap of faith. We are convinced that great rewards await any of us who will take that leap.
Those of us working in the school learn not only to love each child but more importantly to find each child individually interesting and worth looking at.

How to View a Windows 8 Slide Show
Windows 8 offers a simple slide slow that displays one photo after another. It's not fancy, but it's a built-in way to show photos to friends crowding around your computer screen. Start the photos flowing across the screen either of these two ways:
When in your Pictures library or folder, click the Manage tab; then click the Slide Show icon from along the folder's top.
When viewing a single photo in Windows Photo Viewer, click the large, round Play Slide Show button from along the folder's bottom center.
Windows immediately darkens the screen, fills the screen with the first picture, and then cycles through each picture in the folder.
Here are more tips for successful on-the-fly slide shows:
Before starting the slide show, rotate any sideways pictures, if necessary, so that they all appear right-side up: Right-click the problem photo and choose Rotate Clockwise or Rotate Counterclockwise.
The slide show includes only photos in your current folder; it won't dip into folders inside that folder and show their photos, too.
Select just a few of a folder's pictures and click the Slide Show button to limit the show to just those pictures. (Hold down Ctrl while clicking pictures to select more than one.)
Feel free to add music to your slide show by playing a song in Media Player, before starting your show. Or, if you picked up a Hawaiian CD while vacationing on the islands, insert that in your CD player to play a soundtrack during your vacation slide show.
For more information about Windows 8 and its features, explore Windows 8 For Dummies, available online.

6 Reasons Starting a Relationship With Christ is Like Being a Contestant on the Bachelor
1. Baggage or being older than the average contestant, or being a new Christian, may make you think you are less worthy of the relationship, but at the end of the day everyone deserves love. You have never done anything too crazy or sinned too deep to run to God for a relationship with him. God loves you despite your crazy baggage.
2. You, or others, may question if you are there for the right reasons. As much flak as being a Christian can get, there is also some glamour behind the key principles. You may be accused of only seeking forgiveness, community, redemption, or a boyfriend (because everyone knows boys who love Jesus make the best boyfriends). Just like Bachelor contestants are accused of looking for fame or attention rather than love. At the end of the day, only you know if your heart is honest and if your intentions are pure as you seek love.
3. It can make you feel like you always have a spotlight on you. People love digging up dirt about Bachelor contestants. The same can be true if you are a new Christian. People may throw your sinful past in your face, or be waiting for you to mess up. At the end of the day, even if the haters do find some dirt on you, it doesn't matter. The new relationship focuses on the future not the past.
4. Temptation is everywhere. Booze, girl drama and other scandal can throw your relationship way off course and make it hard for you to focus on what truly matters. All that really matters is the relationship, even if the craziness of everyday life and sin can temporarily make you forget that.
5. Some people just don't get it and are going to think you are crazy no matter what. Some people don't get Bachelor Nation and some people don't get religion. Despite all these haters, you can find a group within these niches and until then His love will carry you through.
6. At the end of the day you don't care about any of this drama, all you care about is His love.

As I get back into creating new work with models, I recently reconnected with two professionals with whom I hadn't photographed in a while.
I first met Zoë West during a workshop at The Center for Photography at Woodstock in 2012. She had already been modeling for some time and we got along well. We have created together privately several times since. Our new work was done in her apartment in Kingston, NY.
At a series of group photography sessions, held for many years in Metuchen, NJ, I met Rebecca Lawrence in early 2009. After working together there several times we began doing private sessions. Much of that was at the studio I use regularly. For this shoot we decided to use a different location, Fovea Studios, in Brooklyn, NY.
One of the things I realized, is how important it is to create with paid, professional models and more than just once. Paying models allows me to make the images I want, although model input is always welcome. The model is more present being treated as the professional most of them are. With multiple collaborations I find a comfort and trust that allows for more interesting creativity. I look forward to more of these as well as first sessions with models new for me.

People want to know
if writing Atlanta Nights was hard. It is a good question. Writing Atlanta Nights was not as simple as just stitting down and carving the words on paper. Even if I had had paper which I didn't because I used a computer monitor it would not have been that simple. The book had to be 100% FACTUALLYACCURATE if it was to blow the lid off the seamy underbelly of the cross-section of society i wanted to rip the lid off and and that meant performing in-depth reseach of the bazaar behavior of Atlanta's upper Crust. that meant literally hours of interviews with the people who know them, from their doormen to their cleaning ladies to the people who walk their dogs, and sometimes even the people themselves. i can tell you that the shocking behavior immortalized in the book doesn't even begin to varnish the surface of what I saw with my own two eyes and sometimes with even more. I saw rainy days and thrown golf clubs and nasty spats in night clubs. Sometimes my investigational actions were dangerous. i was threttened and i was hunted. at one point i was ejected from a country club wedding just for asking questions of the bride during the ceremony. Some people would have been discouraged and just written some stopid science fiction or something but a dedicated novelist knows that means he's on the 'write'tract,ha ha. These people all have something to hide but they can't hide from the truth, or from me when I'm writing the truth, which they want to sweep under the rug with a ten foot pool. These are sick people, they are demented people,and they are corrupt people who think they can dictate to the rest of us with their approved guest lists and their hoyty toyty restraining orders. They must beexposed for what they are which is S - N - O - B - S with a capital S, or actually two since theres one of each end of the word. A great writers job is to tell the unpolished FACTS of the situation no matter where the Mewes leads them and in doing my research that was the primary fact I kept in mind, along with the number one priority of any great racketeer which was telling a powerful thrilling sexy story which would keep my vast audience of future faithful readers turning the pages long after they got to the end of the book. I dont deny that I made some stuff up in the prociss but I can tell you that everything I said or did or wrote about rrepresents the way these people really are, and that I had to keep moving around during the more than one week it took to write it to make sure that they didn't use their influence against me. Now that the book is out and gaining nationwide attention all over the country (this one), I know that they will just deny this and paint me as a crank who doesn't know what he's talking about. But they know that they have already lost. ATLANTA NIGHTS exposes them for what they are and even as I type these words including this one, here, it is approaching one hundred million sales one book at a timeand they're days of living in silence are numbered just like its very pages.Theyhave lost and as god is my witness I will not go Hungary again.

There have been a few developments lately: encouraging, discouraging, and uncertain. I'll start with the encouraging part, although I have some nagging doubts about it.
Encouraging: As reported by the N.Y. Times, the State Department will, for the first time, offer the same benefits to same-sex partners of diplomats that it offers to opposite sex ones. These benefits range from the standard ones offered to spouses in other kinds of jobs (medical coverage) to standard ones offered to spouses of employees in overseas corporations (language training) to lifesaving (emergency evacuation from a war zone). Previous attempts to get these benefits have been denied by the State Department under the justification that to provide them would violate the ironically named Defense of Marriage Act. Hillary Clinton, who during her campaign was deemed less willing to revoke DOMA than Barack Obama, issued an internal memorandum saying that the benefits will be offered. In a meeting with State Department Staff in February, the Times reports her as saying, "I view this as an issue of workplace fairness, employee retention, and the safety and effectiveness of our embassy communities worldwide." My nagging doubt? No timetable has been issued for implementing the benefits and no public announcement has been made and DOMA still stands. If it actually comes down to it, will the State Department evacuate the lesbian and gay spouses along with the heterosexual ones, or just leave them to die? If they don't leave them to die, how long before a huge outcry from the right wing that leads to rescinding the policy, since it violates the law - the law that Candidate Obama said he'd push to repeal, but President Obama ignores.
Discouraging: In spite of claiming he is a "fierce advocate" for equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans, President Obama has done nothing to show that and has squandered opportunities to make changes. Candidate Obama said he would repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell and that he would push for repeal of DOMA. President Obama has done nothing on either issue and, in fact, has removed them from the "issues" section of the White House web site. Gay Arabic translators are still being dismissed, leaving the military ill-prepared. As Jon Stewart says, what's the rationale in using any methods - even torture - to get a guy to confess but you have nobody who can tell you what to say since you fired all the people who can speak his language? Same sex couples are still denied all the benefits opposite sex couples take for granted. And equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans is nowhere on the official White House "issues" list - not under civil rights, not under family, not under defense. Do a search on "gay" or "lesbian" and you come up empty, although the website helpfully offers to email you if something does get added.
ETA: There is a mention in the civil rights section that I missed, as mamajoan points out. It doesn't come up on a search for "gay" or "lesbian" since it doesn't use either of those words, and there isn't a heading to make it stand out, as there used to be, so I didn't see it when skimming that section. It's a watered-down version of the previous commitment to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, and with all references to repealing DOMA removed, but it's not nothing.
Mixed: A coalition of the lead lawyers on opposite sides in Gore v. Bush is challenging California's Proposition 8 in Federal Court based on federal constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process. If they were to win, it might invalidate DOMA as well. All the established gay rights legal organizations say this is the wrong timing, and if we lose at the federal level it will have terrible consequences. Which is certainly true, and was very true of Hardwick as well, which happened at the time the established organizations thought was right. I don't know if this is the right time or not, but we've got Lawrence on the books now and we've got an executive and legislative branch unwilling to do anything for our cause. Also, we have next to no chance of the Supreme Court getting more liberal in the next 5-10 years - all we can hope for is that it won't move farther to the right. So this may be the best chance we have in a long time, while Stevens and Ginsburg are still there. I just don't know.
Thoughts, anyone? The icon is, of course, ironic.

Jet Charter Flights to Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin
Located about five miles north of downtown Madison, the Dane County Regional Airport (IATA: MSN, ICAO:KMSN) (otherwise known as Truax Field) is a busy private jet charter and military airport with three runways that serves well over a million passengers a year. The Madison Wisconsin Airport has departures to destinations all over America. Dane County Regional Airport is also the home of the Wisconsin Army National Guard and the Wisconsin Air National Guard.
Like many airports in America, Truax Field came into being during World War II. Though most airports eventually became civilian or municipal airports, the Dane County Regional Airport has retained its military character, and almost 10% of its flights are still military in nature. Over 85 jets arrive and depart daily, many of them filled with business people who come to Madison for the city's vibrant economy.
Others travel to Wisconsin for its glorious natural splendor: scenic waterways, sailboats on glassy lakes, wildlife and outdoor adventures. Madison is also quite cultured with a variety of art and science museums, theatre shows, comedy clubs, music festivals and unique architecture. And don't forget about the Great Taste of the Midwest – one of the country's premier beer festivals that takes place every August and celebrates the many hoppy, stout, amber and light brews of the region.
Madison, Wisconsin is a small but vibrant capital city set on an isthmus between two beautiful lakes. An important city for business, Madison is a popular jet charter destination. Home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, this metropolis has much to offer for its size and is filled with live music, tons of restaurants and fantastic shopping, all just minutes away from the idyllic Wisconsin countryside.
Consistently ranked as a top choice for high quality of life, Madison is well suited for families and young people, a creative and educated population that enjoys the small-town vibe with the big-city activities – and doesn't mind the brutal winters. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit Madison, when the weather is nice and the active populace is out in full force, walking dogs, riding bikes and jogging.
State Street is the epicenter of the city and runs from the Capitol Building to the University of Wisconsin campus.
