Every generation has its drinking game.
In a story in this week's TIME magazine, I learned of a game the ancient Greeks played called Kottabos, which, according to the article, "involved flinging the residue from the bottom of their cups of wine at a target."
In my college days it was quarters — bounce a coin off the table into a short glass of beer and you can point to anyone at the table you want to drink it. It was usually the most obnoxious person at the table who everyone made drink the most… one of the reasons I drank more than my fair share in college.
And even though every state now has designed its own gaming device — with the 50 different quarter-dollars in circulation — these days, quarters have given way to ping pong balls as the projectile of choice to fling at malted beverages.
It's called Beer Pong, and it's all the rage, with several bars in New York city sporting the special tables for the game.
Last Thursday night, I spent a few hours with some of Beer Pong's top tournament players in the New York area. Two young guys from Long Island drove in to Manhattan to meet me at Wicked Willy's in the village before heading out later to White Plains to participate in a thousand-dollar tournament that night.
I shot video of it to accompany the story in TIME magazine. If central casting had beer pong players from Long Island among its roster, these guys would be it.

Disclaimer: A digital copy of She Lies In Wait was provided to me by Random House Publishing in exchange for my honest review. It will be available to the public on January 8, 2019.
Thirty years after she went missing from a party, 14-year-old Aurora Jackson is finally found dead not far from where she was last seen. Detective Inspector Jonah Sheens takes over the murder investigation with his team, including a newly recruited detective-in-training, DC Hanson, and begins to unravel the decades-old mystery behind Aurora's disappearance. Sheens, who went to high school with the victim and her friends, battles with his own memories from the time of her disappearance, and his team begins to think he may know more than he is letting on.
Set in England, She Lies In Wait explores teenage party culture, the extent friends will go to in order to protect one another, and how actions made during youth stay with people throughout their lives. As the six people who last saw Aurora alive are dragged into the investigation, Sheens begins to wonder if they have been hiding something for the past thirty years, and how far they will go to conceal their behaviour from three decades earlier.
Order your copy in advance!
She Lies In Wait is the first in what is promised to be a series of police procedural novels centering around Jonah Sheens. Gytha Lodge, a playwright and novelist, studied English at Cambridge before earning her MFA in creative writing from the University of East Anglia. She is undoubtedly a skilled writer and has a knack for writing realistic dialogue. She Lies In Wait is clean, believable, and compelling enough that I got through it in only a matter of days.
For a police procedural series to work, the leading character – in this case Jonah Sheens – has to be compelling enough to keep a reader interested over the course of several novels. It's no easy feat to create a character with such depth and such a fascinating backstory that fans will want to keep coming back. The most successful procedurals, like the Alex Cross and Harry Hole series, revolve around characters that are complex, at times problematic, and ultimately likeable in their desire to solve mysteries and catch bad guys. Both Alex Cross and Harry Hole also struggle with internal problems and complicated relationships throughout the course of their series, making them more real and relatable.
While She Lies In Wait is only the first book and there is lots of room for growth, Jonah Sheens has yet to solidify himself in my mind as a true leading character. His backstory was patchy and his actions questionable, and while he came across as intelligent and brave, he didn't do anything bold enough to ingrain himself as a real police hero. In fact, it was Juliette Hanson, the newest detective on the team that drove the story. Her quick-thinking, personal trauma and ability to stand up to authority made her a seemingly better police officer than Sheens.
Gytha Lodge will be a writer to look out for in the future. I'm not sure I've been completely convinced to tune in for the next installment in the Jonah Sheens series, but her writing was strong and her plot was well thought out, so it's likely that the next book will be better than the first.

Made this cribbage board for my grandfather who will turn 90 in March.
He taught me to use tools as a kid and how to play cribbage.
Several months ago he sent me some planks of walnut. So, along with some maple, I decided I'd use some of the maple he sent.
The peg path as well as the top are both made of walnut though obviously of two very different colorations.
The box frame is maple.
The contrasting splines are walnut.
The bottom is a piece of poplar that I resawed and then handplaned down to about 1/8" (first real use of my refurbished handplane).
The peg track is inlayed, with relief, into the top by about 1/16". The routing was done freehand. The peg holes were drilled using my DP using a 1/8" brad tip bit, however, other than a printed template taped to the wood, no jigs or such were used.
The finish is BLO and wax.
The pegs were as much apart of this project as well but due to the complexity of making them I've included them as a seperate project entry http://lumberjocks.com/projects/62308

What does Web Assist do?
we are the comunity with the comunity in the comunity for the comunity by the comunity
Working Emergency Broadcasters Assist National, a non-profit company still undergoing registration, is a platform where you can call for assistance, report any medical emergencies, accidents, traffic updates and crime related incidents. We are then able to respond to your report and assist you with any services that you may need to help you, such as Towing, Police, Ambulance and Security Services. We also report incidents that we are made aware of to ensure that you know about incidents and you can make changes to the route you use in order to miss these incidents. As our name suggests, we are a national group and can help with any incidents within South Africa. All of our team members are voluntary members and do not receive any kind consideration for what they do, so please thank them when interacting with them.
Altough these security tips are pointed towards driving, we can take them and apply them to other situations as well.
- Be Alert – If we think of rules as guidelines, rather than strict commands, we know when they are and aren't applicable. Always allow yourself the flexibility to choose the most appropriate response to any challenge faced
- It's All About You – Remember, it's not just about the vehicle. Be aware of your environment, the type of car, and the specific skills required. Perfect your concentration and awareness when behind the wheel, and your skills will fall in line.
- Control Your Fear – It's instinctive for us to let fear take control when we meet a challenge on the road. However, building the right beliefs about driving confidence will allow logic and good practice to dominate any challenges.
- Safety Is A Skill – There are 3 types of driver: those who have their own crashes, those who get involved in other peoples crashes, and people who simply don't have them. 'Good' drivers can still crash – it's more important to be safe.
- Don't Distract Yourself – Make use of your surroundings. Don't just listen to the radio and keep an eye out for speed cameras – look ahead for potential hazards and they won't catch you by surprise.
- Expect The Unexpected – A better overall understanding of the road means that you will be able to spot precursor events leading to a potential accident. Always remember that a crash doesn't have to be inevitable.
- Take It Slowly – Fast driving belongs on the racetrack. Travelling at an easy, sensible pace gives you plenty of time and distance to respond to anything you may encounter.
- Get to Grips With Your Steering – Most people don't pay enough attention to their steering. If a car begins to lose control, the steering wheel is both the first place you'll feel it and the best tool for responding to it.
- Be A Smooth Operator – Handle your steering and brakes with care. Steer firmly but gradually, avoiding harsh movements. An increased awareness means that you can brake earlier, and with a smoother motion.
- Know Your Limits – Without completing an advanced driving course, there's only so much you can know. It's important to understand the limits of your skills as a driver, and knowing not to push them.

Tips for reporting an incident
Do you know what to do when you have been involved in any type of incident? At W.E.B Assist National, we help you speed up the process and provide support right until the end. We are not always available to help due to the nature of the organisation, so please follow the steps below:
- Call it in on the Zello Channel – This is the fastest and most effiecient way to get the message across
- Report it on the WhatsApp Group for your Province
- If you do not receive a response from any person on our team on either Zello or WhatsApp, please use an app such as namola as they report the incident to all services that you may need on the scene.
- if you are unable to use an app such as namola, then you will need to call SAPS and report it.
Remember to get to know the team, save their numbers and feel free to send them a private message as well, sometimes the groups are filled with incidents and it is possible that we miss a post, we are human too.

Camera Types
Cameras come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and are optimised for some very different things. Here, we are concentrating on cameras for nature, travel and wildlife photography, which helps us to narrow things down a bit.
Essentially cameras usually fit somewhere along a scale between small, cheaper, compact and versatile through to large, complex and expensive.
The quality of cameras also generally corresponds to the same scale, although there are two types of quality you need to be aware of. There are, for example, some extremely expensive and higher quality cameras that are also small. So in effect, we need to think in terms of build quality and image quality.
These two types of quality do not mean the same thing. As a rule-of-thumb, larger format cameras of the same generation (cameras with bigger sensors or sheets of film) produce higher quality images than smaller format cameras.
The Megapixel Myth
One trap that many people fall into is equating the number of Megapixels of a given camera with image quality. Megapixels refer to the number of individual pixels that make up a camera sensor, you can arrive at this number by multiplying the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels. One Megapixel = 1,000,000 pixels.
The problem with this measure comes about when we ignore the size of the pixels. Or rather, light receptive sites. All that a high megapixel count means is that there are more pixels jam-packed into a small area. In a digital camera, these pixels are interpolated, to render an image.
'Interpolation' is a fancy way of saying 'educated guess'. Digital camera's do not capture the entirety of an image, they sample a scene and make a guess at the missing colour and brightness information. Obviously, the more pixels, the better the guess.
However, the fundamental problem with small pixels is one that physicists have wrestled with for a long time: The accuracy of a signal, like the light signal received by our camera's, is proportional to the size of the signal. What this means is that bigger, more obvious signals produce significantly less noise or random signal.
Therefore, it makes sense that the bigger the photo-receptive site, the clearer, stronger and higher quality the signal.
It also makes sense that the more light in the scene, the clearer the signal.
Here's a small table to demonstrate
So, as we can see, it is the relationship between the number of megapixels and size of the sensor that really matters.
It is often the case that fewer megapixels yield a camera that is capable of returning better overall image quality because larger individual pixels produce more robust sensitivity to light (It's as if the smaller pixels can't 'see' the light as clearly as larger pixels), while more densely packed pixels increase the resolution or digital detail in the digital image.
There is a balance that has to be struck between detail and sensitivity. One number, the Megapixel count, does not do enough to describe this relationship!
In fact, looking at the very top end cameras made today will generally reveal a more modest pixel pitch (the size of a pixel) than found in lower-end cameras. This is partly explained by the fact that professional photographers are sophisticated enough to understand that megapixel counts are often used as marketing hype.
Point and Shoot Cameras
Starting at one end of the scale is the niche known as 'Compacts' or 'Point-and-Shoot' cameras. These cameras are designed to be extremely convenient and easy to use. They generally fit into a small bag or pocket and are capable of giving excellent results for certain styles of photography.
These days, the Point-and-Shoot niche has been occupied by smartphones with digital cameras built in. These are still Point-and-Shoot cameras, just with augmented capabilities.
These little machines usually require very limited user inputs beyond pointing the camera at an object and touching a button to take a shot. Their small size and form factor mean that they are pretty much always within reach and this fulfils a very important function, in fact, there is a famous photographic saying:
"The best camera is always the one you have with you."
These camera's also fulfil George Eastman's (the founder of Eastman-Kodak and the man who pretty much gave photography to the masses) ambition to make "photography as convenient as the pencil."
The downside of the Point-and-Shoot is its small form factor and size. The image sensor is generally very small and thus not capable of delivering a top-end image quality.
There is not much technology can do about this at the moment, as it is running into the laws of physics. Without increasing the relative size of the sensels and the sensor these cameras will always struggle to deliver premium image quality.
Point-and-Shoots are convenient, often connected, smart devices these days. They are always around, can shoot video, can share images quickly and do an adequate job in many situations.
However, they are often slow to shoot and deliver poor image quality in low light or when compared to larger formats. For wildlife, they are of limited value while for landscapes and nature close-ups they can be reasonable, particularly if sharing images online is the most that you plan to do.
Rugged Point-and-Shoot
With the advent of the smartphone, traditional camera manufacturers took a big knock in sales of compact cameras. One response has been to 'ruggedize' the compact camera, making it usable where smartphones are not. For example, in extreme sports, or dangerous environments.
For example, I use a Pentax Optio W90 waterproof camera on a racing yacht. It is a hard little thing that does admirably in these conditions.
There is another niche that these cameras can fill. They are often very useful as cheap lightmeters or polaroid replacements for film photographers but these users are likely to be well versed in photography and able to make informed decisions of their own.
Mirrorless Cameras
Mirrorless cameras are the modern equivalent of rangefinders in the film era. In effect, they have replaced a key component of the modern camera - the viewfinder and mirror system.
Rangefinders of yesteryear also removed the need for a prism and mirror (by locating the viewfinder off to the side). Mirrorless cameras have gone one better, using electronics they replicate the view through the lens on an electronic viewfinder.
This means, that instead of being off to one side, the view is exactly the same as the camera 'sees' through the lens but delivered to the photographer's eye via circuitry.
The great advantage of this is lighter weight and a smaller form factor in hand. Other advantages are a view in the electronic viewfinder that directly represents the exposure and settings of the camera (unlike prism & mirror cameras which are not able to modify the exposure seen by the photographer through the lens).
There is no doubt, that as the technology improves, mirrorless cameras will take a greater proportion of market share from mirror & prism cameras. For the moment, they deliver less battery life and are generally perceived to be slower focusing and less robust than mirror and prism cameras. This will almost certainly change and they are likely to be the cameras of the future.
Single Lens Reflex Cameras
Single lens reflex cameras are what I have previously referred to as Mirror and Prism cameras. They utilise a mirror behind the lens and a prism in front of the eyepiece to show the photographer the view through the lens.
This is obviously a tremendous advantage when composing a shot. They are generally the camera of choice for most wildlife and nature professionals, delivering the best image quality while still conforming to a relatively compact size.
Advantages are interchangeable lenses (mirrorless cameras also have this), generally robust construction, greater battery life (no need to display an electronic view) and faster focusing speeds.
Downsides, the mirror flicks up and obscures the view during rapid shooting which can lead to difficulty keeping the camera trained on a fast moving subject. Some bodies are also quite large and heavy.
Of course, the mirrorless and reflex (SLR) type designs are just that. They don't necessarily define a form-factor or sensor size. You could conceivably make huge SLR's and this is just what some manufacturers do.
Medium & Large Formats
SLR's and Mirrorless cameras are generally made in the smaller 4/3 and 35mm sensor format that most people will be familiar with. However, they are also found in larger Medium Format cameras which employ the same design with a much larger image sensor.
Medium format cameras usually provide a far superior image to 35mm, but at the same time, they are also hugely expensive and also very large. They are currently unsuitable for most wildlife and nature photography although there are definitely very competent photographers who use them for this purpose.
I am not going to delve into the world of Medium Format and Large Format because most people who discover it are already well versed in photography. Suffice it to say, that the sensor size on Medium Format cameras is currently as much as 2.5 times bigger than 35mm, while Large Format sensors are astronomically expensive and are usually foregone in favour of old-school film, which still delivers extraordinary image quality and tonality at sizes 15 times and 60 times bigger than 35mm.
Camera Choices for Nature Photography
Any camera can be used for nature photography but some are better than others. One also has to factor in that there are some very different types of nature photography with very different requirments.
Cameras that are easy to handle, produce high quality images and have interchangeable lenses are generally the best options. The interchangeable lenses allow you to reconfigure for different situations.
This rules out smartphones which generally don't have interchangeable lenses and are pretty slow to fire with poor tracking focus. In addition to that, the image quality is not the best out there. They can be used for natural landscapes, portraits and some close-up shots but are pretty poor tools for high quality wildlife images.
Point-and-Shoot cameras do not fare much better. Often these have built-in zoom lenses which will do a better job than the average phone but they still have small image sensors, poor autofocus and are generally slow to fire.
That's not to say that a Point-and-Shoot couldn't be made that could potentially do a good job, just that there is little incentive to produce a camera like this when better alternatives already exist.
As we've already seen Mirrorless cameras offer a good compromise of abilities. They are very compact and able cameras and are very well suited to some nature genres. Landscape photography and wilderness photography, which can involve long hikes with heavy packs, are a good example. The image quality and light weight of these cameras is highly desirable.
For wildlife photography, Mirrorless is certainly usable but not yet ideal. They do not yet focus as quickly or reliably as DSLR's nor is the battery life as long-lasting. In addition, they are generally not yet as robust in terms of weather sealing and durability - I have no doubt that this will change over time and that they will come to be the mainstream.
35mm Digital Single Lens Reflex
35mm DSLR's are probably the most versatile camera that can be used for wildlife and nature photography. This is not just because of the form factor, but also because the image sensor offers a good compromise between image quality, price and portability.
It also doesn't hurt that the 35mm format has been around for many many years. Some manufacturers still use the same lens mounts as they did on their first models. This longevity should not be discounted. It leads to a vibrant second-hand market for lenses and accessories that can still be used on the most recent bodies.
Availability of accessories, second-hand value and markets all do a great deal to keep 35mm as popular is it is.
Medium Format Digital
Medium Format cameras are becoming more affordable. Camera's like the Pentax 645D, 645Z and Fuji GFX50s are breaking new ground. These medium format cameras are far cheaper than others on the market, partly because they have abandoned some of the major features of higher-end bodies (e.g. leaf shutter lenses).
They are much more like their 35mm cousins, just with bigger image sensors, better dynamic range and significantly better tonality.
They are let down in some respects by availability of adequate lenses (mainly for wildlife), slower focus speeds, bulky and awkward size and chronically slow firing rate (frames per second).
For landscapes, portraits, close-up and macro there is little better in terms of image quality in a digital format. For wildlife, they are more difficult to use, simply because they cannot compete with the versatility and ease of use of 35mm.
I have no doubt that they will become more affordable and mainstream, especially in Mirrorless form like the Fuji GFX50s.
Large Format Film
Large Format digital is very rare and extravagantly expensive. Even the relatively cheap Digital Scanning Backs range in price between $6,000 and $23,000. This is nothing compared to non-scanning digital backs.
So film is the alternative but it should be mentioned that it is a very good alternative. Film offers unique characteristics that often place it ahead of digital technology. It offers better colour resolution than digital cameras (equipped with Bayer Filters). Film offers better tonal variation and it also manages highlights better.
Large format photography is a very technical pursuit and is only really suitable for landscapes, macro and close-ups of static objects in the nature photography context. It does make for truly spectacular images though, especially when printed big!

First admitted to the hospital at 25 weeks of pregnancy for vaginal bleeding, a woman (G5 P2 A2) received 4 units of packed red blood cells and 2 doses of iron injections. She was discharged after 3 days with an improved hemoglobin level. At 35 weeks, she was admitted for an elective cesarean delivery. Intraoperatively, an upper uterine segment incision was made and the newborn was delivered in good condition. Immediately after, a subtotal hysterectomy was performed. The anesthesiologist noted that the patient was hypotensive; blood was transfused. A rash developed surrounding the transfusion site and widespread ecchymosis appeared as she became more unstable. Although physicians attempted to stabilize her with fluids and medications and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 60 minutes, the patient died.

It essentially matches the output of the 488 Pista and is 88 pounds lighter than the 488 GTB. Again, it feels like a restyled 488 Pista and more of a refresh than a new model.
The look is gorgeous:
Is this enough to take the McLaren 720S down? No, it is still the same fairly heavy chassis and McLaren has Ferrari beaten with their carbon tub:
Not exactly a whole new car but a nice update and certainly a beautiful design.
The 720S has nothing to fear but we may see a 720 LT soon.

6 Things We Took From the Stranger Things Panel at SDCC 2017
6. Finn Wolfhard Ain't Having It!
On the stage in Hall H, comedy superstar Patton Oswalt took an opportunity to bust on Finn Wolfhard for having entered the entertainment industry with such a naturally-perfect PORN NAME! It was funny, though slightly uncomfortable since Finn is only 14 years old!
Finn, however, handled it like a champ, mocking Patton right back and threatening to meet him outside, behind Hall H, for a serious asskicking after the panel.
Too bad this was one of the few panels NOT moderated by The Nerdist's Chris Hardwick. Chris knows the pain of being born with a porn name!
5. The Duffer Brothers LOVE 80s Electronica
Prior to creating the 80s-packed Stranger Things, The Duffer Brothers were already huge fans of synth music. They had a favorite band - Survive - that they would listen to while they wrote. To see if Survive's musical stylings would be a good fit for Stranger Things, they played Survive music while watching 80s classics, like E.T. It felt good, so they hired Survive to create their soundtrack!
4. Spoilers Are a Rough Burden to Bear
Those poor, poor kids! Each of the boys, in turn, was asked about what's coming next for their characters. Only Noah Schnapp was able to give much of an answer by saying, "Will shows more bravery," ...and then he trailed off, only adding that we'll learn more on the show.
Gaten Matarazzo, meanwhile, was visibly pained by his contractual inability to give out spoilers, crying out and pounding his fists on the table!
3. There's a New Monster!!
Hall H marked the premiere of the Stranger Things Season 2 trailer. It was released to YouTube just a few hours later, so you've probably seen it by now, but suffice to say that on the big screen in Hall H, the brief, shadowed appearance of something off in the distance elicited loud gasps all over the hall!
What is this new terror? It certainly seems to share the many-legged aspect of a spider, but it's also HUGE! In the crackling, red sky of The Upside-Down, this thing's legs went all the way up into the clouds. If that comes through a portal...
2. There's New Human Baddies, Too.
After talking to the core cast for a while, Patton introduced three of the new cast members joining the show for Season 2: Sadie Sink as "Mad" Max, Dacre Montgomery as Billy, and Paul Reiser as Dr. Owens.
Sadie is adorable and appears to be slated in a hero role, joining the boys (and Eleven, eventually?) on their new adventure.
The Billy and Owens characters, however, seem to be heading off in darker directions. What can we expect from Paul Reiser? Asked directly if Dr. Owens is a villain, Paul (of course) said that he couldn't tell us, but he could say that he was sent from the government to clean up Dr. Brennan's mess. "And then," he added, "... things happen." What can we really expect from Paul Reiser? He's mostly known for his comedy work, but anyone who saw Aliens knows just how well he can play a total slimebag creep! We're betting on Dr. Owens being more creep than hero.
Talking about his new character, Dacre wasn't able to say much of anything (as usual), but he did let slip that he enjoyed the challenge of working on being really scary. Then he took a pause, thought for a moment, and said that he couldn't say anything else.
We all remember that Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) started Season 1 as a bully and overall bad influence on Nancy, but he pulled it together when the Things got Strange. Because The Duffers have already taken that path with a young bad-boy, we think that Billy is going to be a villain through-and-through.
1. Eleven is Definitely Back, but What About Barb?
Was there ever any question that Millie Bobby Brown's expertly-played Eleven would eventually get herself reunited with the boys? Of course not, and we fans didn't require Hopper's Eggo baskets to know that. The trailer sealed the deal: Eleven is not only in Season 2, but she's absolutely going to find a portal out of The Upside-Down.
But what about worldwide fan-favorite Barb? She wasn't up on stage for the panel, but when it came time for audience questions, Shannon Purser was first in the line! After the thunderous cheering finally died down, she came to Patton's podium to ask the big question, "Will Barb be back for Season 2?"
Unfortunately, Ross Duffer immediately leaned into his microphone and put the kibosh on the excitement: "NO," he said, but then added, "but there will be justice for Barb!"

I wanted to try out a computer vision project, and what better way to do that than to point out where dogs are in photos??
Project Overview
I've included a Github repo and Jupyter notebook for this project.
This project uses the ImageAI computer vision library for Python, which offers support for RetinaNet, YOLOv3, and TinyYOLOv3 algorithms for object detection. The model used is a RetinaNet model pretrained on the ImageNet-1000 dataset, also provided by ImageAI.
Official guide and documentation for ImageAI detection classes are provided as well.
Overall Impressions
I was pleasantly surprised at how easily out-of-the-box object detection has become. The ImageAI library supports custom object detection for the following categories:
person, bicycle, car, motorcycle, airplane, bus, train, truck, boat, traffic light, fire hydrant, stop_sign, parking meter, bench, bird, cat, dog, horse, sheep, cow, elephant, bear, zebra, giraffe, backpack, umbrella, handbag, tie, suitcase, frisbee, skis, snowboard, sports ball, kite, baseball bat, baseball glove, skateboard, surfboard, tennis racket, bottle, wine glass, cup, fork, knife, spoon, bowl, banana, apple, sandwich, orange, broccoli, carrot, hot dog, pizza, donot, cake, chair, couch, potted plant, bed, dining table, toilet, tv, laptop, mouse, remote, keyboard, cell phone, microwave, oven, toaster, sink, refrigerator, book, clock, vase, scissors, teddy bear, hair dryer, toothbrush.
This made it very easy to detect dogs specifically! All I had to do is set up my project, download the pretrained model, and set a few parameters and filepaths. The entire project only took about 20 minutes from setup to output image.
Some parameters of interest:
custom_objects = detector.CustomObjects(dog=True, cat=True)
Any of the object categories can be included here. We are not just limited to dogs, and we can include as many categories as we want -- or potentially all of them -- in the same detector.
detections = detector.detectCustomObjectsFromImage(input_image=input_path, output_image_path=output_path, custom_objects=custom_objects, minimum_percentage_probability=45)
minimum_percentage_probability refers to how confident the model should be before drawing a bounding box. We can set it to a low percentage, e.g. 15%, if we want it to flag everything it sees. We can set it to a high percentage, e.g. 85%, if we only want it to flag objects when the model is confident about what it's detecting.
Overall, fairly decent results, especially considering the short amount of time it took to set up. The boxes are bounding boxes for the dog (or animal, or bird) detected, with the object name and prediction probability.

Something's Wrong With Mom - Paranoid Schizophrenia
I wanted to talk about my experience with Schizophrenia because I stayed quiet throughout the important years fighting this disease alone, when I should have voiced it more when I was in the middle of it. What has happened to my mother is the biggest tragedy of both our lives, her struggle with this disease has been fiercely crippling and I will love and miss her to no end. It is extremely difficult for a child to realize their parent is becoming a victim to psychosis. At 15 there are so many things I wish I could have done or changed, which now in hindsight with time and age seem so easy to spot, but were not at all then. I never want anyone to have to face this horrifying process of losing a parent the way I did. I am listing out some things I have learned from my experience below in case someone else that is dealing with Schiz in their family needs the help that I have desperately needed for the past eight years and counting.
There are several factors through my mother's situation during the time of her initial psychotic break that made it so difficult to spot and to understand. She has never been treated by medication, although several authorities within my community are very aware of her illness. Fighting against it and not getting help is a losing battle. For the longer Schizophrenia goes un-medicated, the worse it increasingly deteriorates the brain and the body because of the stress it is causing a person living with it. You can imagine for a woman that is about to lose half of her life in a big divorce including her marriage, her home, her children and family business, and so much more, the stress was inconceivable. The escalating events that drove her to her limit only forced her brain to try and save herself the only ways she felt plausible, no matter how "crazy" that may be. It has been 8 years and I have seen the downward spiral go from 0 to 100. The amount of damage and loss that it has brought to my mother's world blows my mind because none of it is considered as rock bottom yet despite how horrible it has been. She still cannot fathom that this is a personal mental health challenge; therefore, she will not accept medication. It sucks. The only way I can get my mother even slightly closer to the woman she was before Schizophrenia took over, is if she severely hurts herself or someone else. Under those conditions the authorities can bring her in to a hospital to help admit her. Without that, she will live paranoid and tortured for the rest of her life. It's scary to think that I should wait for that day. If that day never comes then I will live my whole life motherless, which breaks both of our hearts. That is my reality. I am lucky and proud that she is alive today, for not many people can handle the amount of trauma she has endured. My mom is the strongest person I know.
As a child, it's a lot easier to blame your parent for the painful things they've put you through, but the truth is she never asked for this difficult time in her life to happen. While it has been very hard for me to grow up constricted by her disease - I would do it all over again if it meant that I could have saved her. Becoming so close with this illness has given me such a deep appreciation and positive outlook for having the ability to live a healthy life myself, where I am in control. I must take absolute advantage of it, consuming everything I can while I am here and living it to the fullest because as for her, I do not know what my future entails either. I know what an incredibly blessed woman I am for having lived such a great life already, and I now understand the immense importance of keeping my stressors low above all else to have a stable and healthy life.
From the outside looking in, I knew each day would be different from the last and I never could anticipate what was going to happen. I tried my best to hold on to the glimpses of the woman I knew, to help the amazing mother that raised me and gave me so much of her own life to see me grow, for as long as I could I wanted to be by her side. Doing so became very dangerous for my own health and sanity. High school was the most stressful and pressing time for me to also have a mental breakdown. When you are so consumed in your parent's delusions and beliefs they so strongly see to be real, it is hard to know the truth. And for my situation at the time (the mentality changes to different theories over the years) her truth was that my father was out to destroy her in every aspect, so I found that very hard to rationalize every single day. I would try to see it from her side because the last thing I wanted to do was deny her and make her feel even more alone and scared already. There were strange and confusing things happening to her, us and our property that is no doubt, but my struggle was figuring out how to stop them, who did them and why. I will never have all the answers. Dwelling on the erratic occurrences that have torn us apart and that no one can explain hurts me more than any pain I have ever felt. I coped with it how I could, which was a combination of repressing the scarring moments of each day for years, and numbing the pain while distracting myself from the sadness. There are better ways to deal with it then how I did. Do not numb your pain, use it as fuel to get help. Go see a therapist, a counselor, a professional. Fight hard for their health.
Read about the causes, symptoms, different types of schizophrenia, the treatments and effects until you know as much information that is available. Go online to the real professional and resourceful websites and read. Ask your family members about your genetic history with mental health. Reach out and call local mental health departments and speak to a professional about this disease and how someone can be helped. It is very hard if the affected person is not willing to get the help they need, I am at a huge disadvantage geographically to get help from professionals. Had I truly understood what was going on around me, my mom may be on a different path today and still the woman I remember before.
Write everything down. Document the manic episodes. Not doing so is one of my biggest regrets. It would have helped me in proving detailed evidence to mental health providers and police for cause. It would have helped me realize how bad things were seeing it all written out. It would have salvaged my memories, which have repressed so much of the painful important events. The more you can feel and acknowledge your situation, the more you can accept what it happening and make you more comfortable to talk about it and seek help.
I did not do this until it was too late. For several reasons, I dealt with this alone and my father and sister had no idea what was happening for years. I also thought leaving the farm was not an option out of fear. I was the only thing she had left and I was scared she would do something terrible to herself had I left. I would not have been able to live with myself if that happened. I should have announced the depths of her mental health challenges, behavior and delusions/theories sooner. No matter how scary the consequences may seem to you, telling adults and family members is the right thing to do to come close to getting better. My family was very broken and separated during this entire mental breakdown, I was the only person close to her that she did not fully believe was out to hurt her. For a paranoid schizophrenic, everyone is out to get you no matter how close you are, so having a very supportive and close family that has trust in their relationships can help make the chances of getting treatment a lot higher.
This is one of the toughest pieces of advice because it is so hard to pull yourself out of this negative thing that you have no control over. Dealing with a schizophrenic is extremely draining day in and day out. It can lead you to suffer in several ways due to the traumatizing events and parenting of an unstable person. This disease can take over your life if you do not do things that help soothe your soul and calm your mind. It would have destroyed me had I not seek distraction in other outlets of my life (school, rugby, friends, bring social). I kept reminding myself that it was the illness talking, not her and that she loves me so much. Don't let this component of your life engulf you. It breaks you down emotionally and mentally, but you need to become adaptive and patient to survive. It is never easy to do, and it can take a toll on your own mental health. During this stressful period, you are also suffering and even though you are focusing on the loved one's mental health you also have to look out for your own. Whether that's going to the gym, listening to music, yoga, sports, painting, anything. You must remember the things they are telling you are not real and they do not mean them, no matter how convincing and real those feelings are to them. They may not remember the things they've done or said, but never go along with any of them, even if it is easier for you at the time, because that only adds fuel to the fire for Schizophrenia.
It is so incredibly important to surround yourself with people that support you and make your life better. Without my amazing friends, I do not know where I would be throughout this. You don't have to face this alone, no matter how lonely and helpless you may feel. You need people that can take the bad parts of the day away, even if it's only for a few minutes. Laughing is therapeutic and helps ease the tough times. It is also equally important to break away from anyone that makes you feel worse about yourself during this time. A bad friend or shitty partner can seriously play a role in breaking your mental capacity. Cut any ties to people that add any paranoia, stress or mistrust to your life. It is not worth your time and health.
No matter how scared you are, try not to let the thoughts and delusions manipulate you, your life, and the truth. Never give in to the stories and never agree with their theories no matter how bad they want you to. They are not real. It is okay to be confused, it is okay to feel guilty and hopeless, but you have to be the force of reason for them. Clarity is hard to find as a child because you parents are supposed to provide this knowledge and education. This is why it's important to constantly reach out for help to professionals, whether it is the police, mental health providers, hospitals, schizophrenic help lines, anyone with experience dealing with this. Make it known that you are in danger, explain your concerns for losing both you and your parents life. Teach yourself how to mend from the pain, and keep your mental health strong by challenging the stress by staying active, educated, and free.
You have to be aware of your surroundings, there were many times I would find myself having to follow my mom in places I wasn't comfortable or sitting in the passenger seat as she's behind the wheel acting frantic. She would say things that were very worrisome about ending my father and then weapons started to appear in my home. None of that was okay. Whenever I realized the danger I was in, I tried to stop it. It can be hard to figure out what's going on when you're so far down this road, my case was extreme so the horror became normalized. It is also important to notice if anyone is manipulating their situation or enabling them. There were adults involved with maintaining my farm daily that knew she was sick and continued to help her in proving her theories and accompanying her delusions. This extremely contributed to my mother's illness because the people she trusted were too afraid to stop her. This was deepening her conspiracy theories because other adults she trusted were not telling her that those thoughts weren't real out of fear. For me this was extremely frustrating because I knew what they were doing was wrong and none of them would help me out of fear. Still to this day nothing has progressed, things have only gotten further from care and harder for her. It is hard to make everyone involved on the same page, and my situation was different but if you notice that other adults are involved are not acting to help, talk to them and make them understand the difficulties they are furthering by not addressing it.
I never thought I would get passed this part of my life. I thought I would be trapped and destroyed forever over this. The light at the end of the tunnel does not exist because for us this battle will never be over. But since I have grown up I have healed many of wounds and I have survived the worst of this battle. It changed me, it torments me in my sleep still, but it also made me stronger and better. I wish I could say the same for my mom, I know how badly we both wish things were different. Treatment is something that my mother may never receive, but that might not be the case for others. It is so incredibly important to get medication within the first few months of seeing symptoms. Since I've been open about mental health, others have shared their experiences with similar diseases. I've only met a few people with a parent Schizophrenia, and they have all had medication to help their loved one, hearing these stories showed me that recovery is possible for some people. It may not be a full transition back to their previous life, but it can improve. I hope to one day say that for my mom.
I have been very back and forth about sharing this part of my life on a recording. Mainly because it is her life, I do not want to hurt her. The only thing I am completely positive about throughout this entire mindfuck is that if I am still too afraid to discuss everything that I have endured, then it would be impossible for me to see any positive changes in this issue. All it takes is one person to spread the importance of speaking up. I am done letting schizophrenia instill fear in me. I hope my story can be helpful to any other person that is battling, stay strong.
Thank you for listening to my story,

If you've never hosted a film screening event before, don't worry! We've helped hundreds of people host a successful screening of our films over the years. All you need to do is follow the steps below and you'll be a pro before you know it.
|Plan for how you will promote your event. After you purchase a public screening license, you will receive a screening kit. Your kit has CD-ROM discs that contain customizable marketing materials. Also, the film website has the film trailer along with other videos, endorsements, and information you may find useful.
|Begin customizing the marketing materials for your event and preparing them for use.
|Begin assembling you post-screening discussion panel (highly recommended). In addition to people in your organization, you may wish to bring in one or more people from our panel speakers list.
|If you haven't done so yet, reserve a facility and equipment for the screening. Make sure the facility can be darkened sufficiently, is large enough to accommodate the anticipated audience, has sufficient seating or chairs, has a screen that's sufficiently large and high enough to allow for excellent viewing throughout the room, has a working projector, has a good sound system with microphones, and has a DVD player. You may wish to secure the services of a technician to assist with setting up and running the equipment.
|Purchase DVDs. We're offering North American hosts the opportunity to purchase Little Town of Bethlehem DVDs at 60% off (under $7.00 each). This gives you the opportunity to resell them at your event for up to $16.95 each and use the profits to help your organization. Purchase five or more DVDs and get free shipping, too! Use special code DVDdeal to get the discount; use special code FreeShip to get free shipping. We're sorry, but we are obligated to limit this offer to North American hosts due to regional video format conflicts.
|Begin promoting your event. This includes sending out the press release to your PR department or local media outlets, adding the event information and banners to your website or blog, directing people to the film trailer, hanging up the posters at approved locations, sending email to your subscriber list, and promoting the event in social media (social media tips).
|Confirm that all arrangements are set for your discussion panel participants.
|Make sure the facility and equipment (projector, screen, sound system, film DVD, cables, DVD player, microphones, chairs) for the screening are secured and working, and that you have a technician lined up for testing and running the equipment (if needed).
|Refresh your marketing. It takes seven impressions for a person to remember a new piece of information. Make sure posters are still visible, have a second set of posters available to replace missing or damaged ones, send a follow-up email to your subscriber list, and continue promoting the event in social media (social media tips).
|If you haven't done so yet, confirm that all arrangements are set for your discussion panel participants. Select some seed questions to help get the discussion going if needed (your screening kit includes a list of questions).
|Print the education guides and have them ready to hand out at the event.
|If you have a technician lined up for the event, make sure she's prepared to be on site two hours prior to ensure everything is set up and working properly.
|Check one more time to make sure the facility and equipment (projector, screen, sound system, cables, DVD player, microphones, etc.) for the screening are reserved and that the film DVD is working.
|Prepare your venue. Make sure everything is in place for the event: sound system, microphones (for the panel), projector, DVD player, printed education guides, the film DVD, projection screen, shades or blinds for the windows, cables, chairs, etc.
|Familiarize yourself with the equipment and room lighting controls.
|Make sure the chairs are arranged for optimal viewing.
|Test the equipment. Work with the technician (if you have one) to ensue everything is in place and tested.
|Secure cables. Make sure loose cables are taped to the floor securely where people might be sitting or walking.
|Get the phone number of the facility technician just in case you have any issues the day of the event.
|You want to arrive early just in case you encounter any surprises.
|Do a quick double-check to make sure everything is in place and working.
|Make sure that your panel speakers are in town and/or on the way to the event.
|Set up your merchandise table if you have DVDs to sell.
|Enjoy the film!
|Have a great discussion!
Please fill out the EthnoGraphic Media (EGM) post-screening survey; it should take less than five minutes to complete. Your responses will help us better serve you and others in the future.
As a "thank you" for completing the survey, we'll send you an exclusive link to an inspiriting six-minute video autobiography of Sami Awad, the executive director of Holy Land Trust and one of the subjects of the film Little Town of Bethlehem.
See, it's not that difficult. If you follow this plan, we're confident you'll be a pro by the time you wrap up the event and take the survey. Then you can start planning your next screening event. And you know the best part about that? You won't have to purchase another screening license!

We're a rain-or-shine event for a few reasons.
We're training our crowd to never lose faith in us (because we won't cancel) so they'll never have this question in their minds, "Do you think The Flea will be open even if it rains?"
We're making a statement that rain isn't necessarily bad, right? Ohio isn't Southern California. We're going to get rain. Let's just grab our umbrellas and head out anyway.
We've ALL invested a lot of time, energy and money into event prep and we're not going to let a little rain dampen our spirits.
Historically, through our 6 years of markets, the weather has really only been bad enough for us to cancel once. And shoppers still showed up! They shopped under tarps and helped vendors hold their tents down- it was pretty silly.
We only cancel when it's a really big, dangerous storm.
It HAS rained at the flea. But that's never really deterred shoppers and it shouldn't deter you.
However, we want you to be prepared for all weather.
You'll feel so much more confident knowing that you're fully prepared.
You'll actually be ready if the weather picks up (rain or wind)
It'll be off your plate and you can focus on the fun stuff.
Tent weights + tarps or side walls + positive attitudes are the best ways to be prepared for weather.
That's right.,
Tent weights (20lbs per leg minimum is a good start but more is always better)
Tarps or side walls help with rain that could come with some wind (pretty rare but we do live in Ohio)
A good attitude. Rain is neutral. It's only what you make it that gives it any weight (good, bad or terrible). WE always let shoppers feel ok and sometimes happy about rain because we want them to show up. And we can all feel just fine in the rain- IF we're already prepared.
Being a small business that goes from market to market CAN be hard. That's why planning and prep are so important, but most people put that stuff off in favor of doing the things that are more fun. We get it. We used to do that, too.
But we MUST be prepared for anything. It gives us such confidence. And in most cases, we don't need the side walls or umbrellas or tarps.
And standing in the sun, knowing we were prepared for anything makes us feel like we're doing it right.

Personal finance writer Kimberly Palmer has tackled another element of the Gen Y-money relationship: Our "financial optimism." Those in a survey said they think they will eventually find their footing and establish a standard of living at least as good as the one they enjoyed growing up with their parents. Well, in my case, I hope to enjoy a lifestyle better than the one I had growing up.
These parts in the article stood out to me:
The survey found that the most successful Gen Yers tended to have parents with higher expectations and stronger financial education backgrounds than their peers who struggled more with money. The high-functioning group also tended to have taken multiple financial literacy classes throughout their high school careers as well as taught themselves more about money through online resources. "The young people who are taking a proactive approach to managing their money are light years ahead of those who are disinterested," Serido says.
The groups that struggled more with their finances had less education and also less confidence, she notes. "They don't think they know anything. They also perceive that they don't have control over how money works. That's what education does. … Just becoming informed gives you a sense of empowerment and ability," she says.
Isn't that awesome?! It's true. Educating myself and, more importantly, applying what I've learned has been very much empowering.
Just at lunch today, my serpentine belt broke on my car. I'm not freaking out because I know I have the money to pay for that repair. Why? Because financial experts kept screaming, "BUILD AND EMERGENCY FUND!" So I went to my HR department to set aside savings from my paycheck to build an emergency fund.

With almost every publication now appearing online as well as in print, the designer must consider both media, often simultaneously. And because consumers are getting so much information from the Internet, it is inevitable that the habits and devices used in interactive design are bleeding onto the printed page. "The Web has had a very specific effect on page design," says Jeremy Leslie. "It's accelerated a process that was happening anyway, with the bite-size chunk of information getting smaller and smaller. You have to have pictures and pull quotes and sells and as many devices as possible." This is the result of the changing nature of our culture. "All magazines looked like The New Yorker seventy years ago," he says, "but now, a new magazine couldn't hope to have a successful launch looking like that. It's just a matter of degree, of how much you're going to cede ground to this process."

Charlie Boy – The Lumineers
Salut, salut
Cookies. Big, huge deal for me. Has always been! They are my favourite; chocolaty but not too much, greedy but not too much, big but just enough… They are perfect! Mock me if you want but give me a cookie and everything's fine, I'm a simple girl. For years now I've been looking for the perfect recipe; soft but tough, chewy but crunchy, not flat but fat. If you were looking for it too, stop everything, I just found it! My base is an american recipe, I've done it soooo much, arranged it, adapted it and here it is. Let's enjoy this.
Serve 26. 270g flour, 4g baking powder, 3g salt, 150g brown sugar, 80g caster sugar, 90g melted butter not hot, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 300g chocolate chunks.
Prep: 5 à 10mn — Bake: 11 à 15mn/batch
Melt the butter. Chunk your chocolate by cutting squares in 4 or 6.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a larger bowl, mix the butter and sugars until well blended. Add the vanilla, egg and egg yolk and mix until you get a creamy mix. Add the previous mix, mix but not too much, your mix should be homogeneous but not overmixed. Add your chunks and incorporate them with you hands (and lick your hands :D).
Use a tablespoon; every cookie = 1 tbsp of cookie mix. Roll them into balls but don't flatten them, up them (just like in the previous picture). Put your cookies-to-be in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 170° during 10mn.
In the oven, for 11mn to 15mn. They should be fragile when you take them out, if they're not it means they're overbaked. Let them cool while another batch bakes.
So, how many cookies do you want? How many can you eat? It is really hard for me to resist! And there's a supreme delight, do you know what it is? When you eat them and there're still a little bit hot, the chunks are still melted… What else?
Des bisous
(You can find this recipe in French here.)

Premier's Debating Challenge
Congratulations to our Year 12 debaters for a successful and winning debate in the Premier's Debating Challenge against Caringbah High School on Thursday 10 May. Our debaters have certainly grown this year and with this increased confidence are experiencing great success.
In the last week of Term 1, a group of 11-12 debaters went out to Fort Street High School to compete in the first round of the Premier's Debating Challenge. Discussing whether we need to raise the ATAR for those wishing to pursue a career in teaching, as the negative our team focused on the idea that a quality teacher isn't based off their HSC ranking, but on their ability to be committed, passionate and be an effective role model. It was a close debate, but unfortunately we didn't quite get there for the win.
On Thursday 10th May, our Year 12 debaters travelled to Caringbah High School for Round 2 of the Premier's Debating Challenge. The students were prepared to explore an issue concerning the media, and the chosen topic asked students to debate whether terrorist images should be banned from mainstream media. As the negative, the students developed a consistent argument on how as a global community, we need to have increased awareness and education surrounding such controversial imagery. This insight saw them defeat the Caringbah team – a long-term rival!
Well done to these students, you have been great representatives of our school. The third round against Blakehurst HS is coming up in a few weeks – stay tuned for the result!

1 Month of first beard, kinda patchy
Hi guys, I'm 20 and this is my first time growing a beard and I know to keep growing it but just wondering if you think those patches will fill in, and also how long I should try to go. Thanks!
1 comment
That's a great question. We usually recommend letting your beard grow for about 3 months to see what you're truly capable of growing at this point in your life. If it you don't see the full beard that you're looking for, then you can choose to rock a style that highlights the strongest areas that grow in for you.
