CALGARY – "In our discussions, we were just so keen on things that were beautiful," says Calgary Cinematheque President, Brennan Tilley, of year's programming. Entering their 11th year of presenting critical cinema culture, Calgary Cinematheque is revving up for what might be their most stunning season yet. We sat down with Tilley for an overview of this year's programming, and to take a look into what the future of Calgary Cinematheque has in store.
Opening the season is the four-film series Focus: Landscapes; and while some might question the subject of "landscapes" as a broad topic, this contemplation is exactly what Cinematheque intended. "What we wanted to do was leave it a bit open ended to show just what that can be," says Tilley. "I think what we're trying to say is wide and expansive shots." And while all of the series' films invoke the sort of vast openness and sweeping shots that the series title suggests, none are more synonymous with the exploration of landscape in cinema than the third film of the series, Terrance Malick's 1973 crime film, Badlands. "It's another character, and that's what's so key," explains Tilley. "Badlands is about the badlands, it's almost like those characters are secondary to story of them travelling through this area." The industrial wasteland of Michelangelo Antonioni's Red Desert (1964), the Australian outback of Nicholas Roeg's Walkabout (1971), and the urban setting of Mikhail Kalatozov's I Am Cuba (1964) flesh out the remainder of the cinematheque's broad exploration of cinematic landscapes.
The second segment of Cinematheque's season this year, also referred to as the Masters series, places focus on celebrated Hong Kong filmmaker, Wong Kar-wai. "His influences are really coming to bare right now," says Tilley. "I think we see through a lot of films right now that his influence is apparent and he's still quite relevant. You don't often see a filmmaker that can be such an influence on the zeitgeist, and also himself be so active and maintaining that master's status." Opening the series with what is arguably the director's most well-known film, In the Mood for Love (2000), Wong Kar-wai's mastery in the art of simplicity and subtlety is on full display, in what is considered a must-see in every cinephile's film education. Rounding out the series are 2046 (2004), Ashes of Time (1994), and Wong's most recent release, The Grandmaster (2013). "He's slowed down a little bit in the last few years, in terms of a high-profile North American release," notes Tilley. "But he's still very much active…he's already at a level that I think can be recognized as a master based on 20 years of solid output."
Kicking off in the new year, this seasons Spotlight series will focus on the works of notable cinematographers, Haskell Wexler and Gordon Willis. Building off last year's spotlight on actress Tilda Swinton, Cinematheque's aim was to focus on other renowned artists in cinema, while still retaining the Masters series as an exploration of directors and filmmakers. Putting their cinematic flourish on classic films such as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and Klute (1971), Wexler and Willis were some of the first cinematographers to become auteurs in their own right. "We thought both Wexler and Willis both represented a pair of cinematographers really putting their stamp on things," explains Tilley. "You have these 70s' cinematographers coming in, and so clearly making a film in their style, and we really thought that was the way to go." He elaborates, "We went back and forth about whether we wanted to highlight one or the other, and just thought a six-film series with three of each covers it off pretty well."
In addition to a new season of programming, their 11th season will also include a partnership with Central Public Library to present screenings of the series most quintessential films (In the Mood for Love, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Badlands), followed by a more in-depth discussion of the film with the cinematheque's programming committee. A new edition to the cinematheque's programming, Tilley sees the screenings potentially catering to two contradicting audiences, "In one way it could be a bit more casual and not as cinephile-ish as our usual screenings because it's a different environment, or it could be more in depth because we actually have more time to talk and we can take on a longer analysis," explains Tilley. "There'll be one from each series there, so if someone really wanted to do one film per series and get an introduction into what we do, I would tell people to take a look at that."
Looking forward, Tilley remarks that while the future of the cinematheque has yet to be determined, their mission remains the same. "Ultimately, we're trying to foster a critical cinema culture," says Tilley. "It's about finding other ways to react to how Calgarians want to go to the movies and have these discussions…We're a very member-oriented organization, so we'll just see where people will follow us. It's not so much where we want it to go, but as much as where our audience wants to take us."
Calgary Cinematheque's 11th season kicks off October 12 with Red Desert at The Plaza Theatre. The following films will be shown at the Calgary Public Library… In the Mood for Love, Sunday, Oct. 22; Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Sunday, Oct. 29; Badlands, Sun, November 5. The season will run from October 2017 to March 2018.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN - Ray Anthony - "That's Incredible" (1957)
But, since we are here to talk mostly about the music, I gotta tell you that they missed a very golden opportunity here. Somebody was real smart and used trumpet player Ray Anthony as a soloist during the theme music, and it is quite beautiful, rich and you're really going to dig it! Here's my problem, why only during the theme? There are very long parts of this movie with no dialogue when teeny tiny Robert Scott Carey is trapped in the basement, and has the adventure of his life, and all the music is totally orchestrated, and loses all it's character! Supposedly stellar names like Irving Gertz, Elliot Lawrence, Hans J. Salter, and Herman Stein are responsible, but as you can see on the credits, it's only music supervision by Joseph Gershenson.
A fantastic duo, Grant Williams as Scott Carey, and the enchanting Randy Stuart as Mrs. Louise Carey! Life is perfect!! But then........
Here it comes, whatever it is! This story was written by another Sci-Fi master, Richard Matheson, and combined with a great cast, you've got yourself one real classic monster movie!! Another great film where there is no need to explain anything, weird stuff just happens and you deal with it!!
Right here's where the good music and the good times stop! Reality for Scott and Lou is a thing of the past, and it's all down hill from here!!! The movie just got started and you've already got the moral of the story! Get your own beer!!
You know what's causing the shrinking, but you will never know why! So what the heck was in that fog anyway? Pixie dust? Space Debris? No, just regular shrinkin' stuff!!!
They throw a real midget, the ultra famous face of Billy Curtis, into the act, for a quick bit just to legitimize things! See Mildred, I told you they was midgets!!
Maybe after they built all those killer sets, they didn't have enough money to pay Ray Anthony to blow throughout the whole film! Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie, it just could have been that much better!!!
This film doesn't exactly have a happy ending, here Louise gets ready to drive off in a very nice Chrysler with Scott's brother, never to return!
This movie never ends, it just keeps getting smaller!!

The best bit is the part where the wife says, "You'll be my husband as long as you wear my wedding ring," and then the ring falls off and hits the floor of the car. If anyone really needs to know, this is a 1950s take on IMPOTENCE! HA!
- January 4, 2009 at 8:06 AM
One thing never sat right with me in this film. The Cat! Okay first of all. If you have someone living in your house that's less than 10 inches tall. You get rid of the house cat. Assuming it was there cat, but fine whatever.
The next thing is, Scott's brother and wife assume that Scott was eaten by the cat. The first thing that should have been done is have that cat put to sleep and perform an autopsy on the cat, to see if Scott Carey's mangled predigested body was in its stomach. But NO, it's all about going on assumption. Aw well. Cat ate him. Let's leave.
Lastly, they could have had scott under better protection and maybe have a microphone setup near him so his wife could hear him. Hopefully the remake will be more realistic.

The best sci-fi film ever, and that was because of Grant Williams. What a magnificent actor he was, and so gorgeous. Died way too young.

Simply put, this is one of the greatest, best thought-of sci-fi movies ever: It keeps you wondering what it is going to happen next and there is always this dreadful, eerie feeling things might not be okay ever again. Specially if you watch it with the late 50's, early space race mindset, you understand how it played with the audience's fears and worries that this or a similarly bleak destiny might as well just await for all of us in the not-so far "future".

Beauty Clinic: I'm sensitive to sunscreen
Q. I am allergic to the SPF [sun protection factor] in the many – not cheap - mainstream skin care and cosmetic products I have tried over the years including children/baby products. I have never known what ingredients to look for as no one seemed to know. I even called one of the sunscreen makers who said they had never heard of my problem. A. That's odd, in our opinion, as it is well known that some synthetic (or semi-synthetic) chemicals used in sun preps can irritate sensitive skin. It is categorized as a 'not uncommon reaction' in one study.
There are two basic types of sun protection: the first uses chemicals as protection against UV damage and the second contains a physical barrier – usually a mineral/s such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. As we said, it is more usual for the first type to trigger sensitivity.
The natural skincare company, Green People (www.greenpeople.co.uk), whose products we frequently recommend to readers in your situation, offer the following explanation:
The chemical sunscreens can cause two types of reaction:
• contact allergy leading to symptoms of dermatitis, typically a red, itchy rash, which occurs regardless of whether the chemical sunscreen is exposed to sunlight or not. The dermatitis is found in areas of skin covered by sunscreen, but not necessarily exposed to the sun.
• photocontact allergy, which occurs when the chemicals in the sunscreen - after it penetrates the skin - are changed by the UV rays and then produce an allergen. The symptoms arise when one is in contact with the chemical and simultaneously exposed to sunlight. An article in the journal Dermatitis says that sunscreen is one of the most common causes of photoallergy.
The chemical sunscreens that are most frequently reported as the cause of allergies are octocrylene, benzophenone-3, benzophenone-10 and octyl methoxycinnamate (OM).
Green People use titanium dioxide with a secondary filter of isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate to boost UVB protection without leaving a white veil on the skin. While it sounds similar to octyl-moethoxycinnamate, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate is a natural compound, found in the roots of the Indian galangal plant, a member of the ginger family. Commercially, it is prepared from cinnamic acid, found in the leaves of the cinnamon tree and is chemically identical to the original natural molecule. Green People is not aware of any reported skin reactions to this ingredient.
That all sounds a bit complicated but the bottom line is that, in our experience, people whose skin reacts to chemical SPF's generally do not have a problem with physical mineral barriers.
Finally, we should add that between the time of this reader's query and going to press, Green People sent samples of their sun protection products, which contain a high proportion of organically certified ingredients, to this reader to try. She wrote to us saying that she is 'delighted with the result'.

Template Chosen: Pacific
Why did you choose that template?: This is a bit more simpler template that would fit well with their Squarespace knowledge.
What was the Client's Objective?: Update their site from Wix!
Tell us a bit about the design process?: These boss ladies are local here in Kansas City. They were able to come into the studio, check out our new digs and immediately loved our vibe - love when that happens. We were able to do most everything else with them through our 8 week brand and site process online. They were a dream to work with and their food is TO DIE FOR good.
How did you help the client differentiate their business through design?: They love BOLD and vibrant. This was a favorite client because we also branded them and they took their brand and ran with it - doing everything we hold people do with their files. They even threw a brand launch party that was totally based off the brand board we created for them. Can you say... DREAM CLIENT?!
Is there custom development? What about custom added CSS? Can you tell us why you did or did not use these edits?: A little bit - mostly for the look on mobile. Sometimes placing text on header images can respond funny. We dropped some CSS in to make sure text was still very readable on smaller devices.
What are the top three creative features you used in the design?: 1. Brining in the olive branch all over their site on backgrounds and images.
2. Small illustrated icons that helped define what they do.

HOUMA -- The wait is over.
After months of speculation, Houma natives and bitter boxing rivals Ricky "The Pitbull" Folse and Justin "The Ironman" Verdin have finally signed a contract to fight each other.
The boxing match will take place Feb. 23 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
It will be the main event of a large fight card entitled "Civil War at the Civic Center," which will feature boxing and martial arts matches involving several of the top amateur and professional fighters throughout the area.
Tickets for the event will be made available on Jan. 1 through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com or at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center box office.
The rest of the card will be released at a later date.
Over the last two years, Folse and Verdin have feuded over territorial conflicts and interests between the two rival boxing organizations they represent.
Verdin (3-0 boxing record, 1-0 in cage fights) is a co-owner of "In Ya Face Fight Productions" and the Houma-based Extreme Fitness excercise facility with local promoter Albert Pierre.
Folse (10-6 boxing record, 3-2 mixed martial arts record) is a co-owner of Pitbull Productions along with Body Elite Fitness Center owner Larry Blanchard.
Earlier this year, the two fighters were in negotiations to schedule a fight at In Ya Face�s "Brawl Till Ya� Fall" event on Aug. 18, but due to disputes over an appropriate venue, the talks stalled between the organizations.
Verdin said he wanted the fight to take place in Houma, but Folse wanted it outside the area, due to Pitbull Productions efforts to expand its promotions to places like Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Grand Isle, Monroe and Miami.
Blanchard, also known as Larry Ferrone, said in August that the talks for a fight between the two rivals� fell apart when In Ya Face productions would not co-promote the event with Pitbull Productions.
He added that In Ya� Face "wanted to promote the whole event on their own and thereby reap all the monetary rewards and buy Folse off for a small nominal sum," which Verdin and Pierre later denied.
On Nov. 17, both organizations finally put aside their differences and agreed on a contract, which was approved by Deputy Commissioner Russell Naquin and the Louisiana State Boxing and Wresting Commission.
The Louisiana Cruiserweight title, along with an award of $5,000, will go to the winner of the fight.
Win or lose on Feb. 23, both fighters have verbally agreed to a rematch in a "cage fight" later this year.
Folse was unavailable for comment on Friday evening, but Blanchard said in a press release sent to The Courier and Daily Comet that the fight is long overdue.
"I�ve never witnessed such bad blood between two people," Blanchard said. "If this thing doesn�t get settled in the ring soon, then anything is likely to happen should these two guys meet up in a public place. All hell could break loose."
For Verdin, it gives him a chance to finally face his rival.
"It�s way more personal than anything," Verdin said. "For two-and-a-half years, I�ve been waiting for this fight, and now it�s finally gonna happen. I�m excited about this opportunity. This fight could a lot for this town because it could be the biggest fight we�ve ever had in south Louisiana."
Local boxers Folse, Verdin agree on contract to fight
HOUMA -- The wait is over.

-For Sam- VW T5 Transporter LWB (duel sliding doors)
This van was one of the first I ever converted. It's a relatively simple set up to allow room for the van to used for touring with a band and loading music gear as well as a camper.
The kitchen and storage chest behind the front seats are removable. They work well because they keep the walk-through free between the two front seats and it's great to be able to take the cooking experience outside when you like.
The bed folds up to form a couch or day bed that in turn frees up space for hanging out. The idea behind this is borne from the preference to keep the full double bed mattress in one piece. It's simply folds in the middle.

Mention his senior championship debut for Cork and Anthony Nash smiles a little through gritted teeth.
"Thanks," he laughs.
Nash was 22 when opportunity knocked against Waterford because Donal Og Cusack was suspended in the Semplegate fall-out.
The Rebels leaked five goals, though that had nothing to do with the new man between the posts.
Nash was praised for his display after his side lost by only three points.
"Ah look, I suppose the whole thing was a bit of a blur, really," he said.
"The only experience I had before that was the under-21s, and the step up was like stepping out of a car and into a Formula One race.
"The Waterford forward line they had was incredible.
"There was a lot said in the build-up and I hadn't experienced that before.
"But I used it as an experience and always wanted to get back into goals.
"Fortunately I got back in in 2012. I'd use the experience of that day, but I wouldn't think about it too much."
Nash added: "I was in a difficult situation.
"It's hard for a goalkeeper to break into a team. You need an injury or a dip in form or you need to excel yourself.
"Obviously Donal Og at the time was one of the best in Ireland, if not the best. I always wanted to play but there were times I wondered would I ever.
"It was seven years of a difference so you do question whether you'll get in again. I'm there now 12 years.
"If you look at Cork hurling over the decades, you have Martin Coleman senior originally, then you had Ger Cunningham and Donal Og, so there were a lot of goalkeepers that it went by.
"But that's the way it is. If you're the second best goalkeeper, you're the second best goalkeeper. You just have to learn to take it.
"But it was a long time ago and it's the more recent years I'd be thinking about."
Nash has earned the right to be talked about in the same breath as the trio that went before him, even if he's still waiting for his first All-Ireland title.
The Kanturk man has become such a vital part of the Rebel tactical approach with his puck out strategy, his leadership and his organisational skills.
Just as on his first day, Waterford are the opposition tomorrow.
And Cork will surely fancy their chances after putting the Deise to the sword in the Munster semi-finals less than two months ago.
Few expected that to happen, or for the Rebels to subsequently claim provincial glory.
"From the outside you'd have to say that people wouldn't have seen this coming," Nash confessed.
"I've publicly stated that last year I felt things were going okay in training, we just didn't put in the performance on the field that we desired.
"But I'm delighted with the way things have gone so far this year.
"The team's probably in its early stages yet and is going up against a team that's in it's third All-Ireland semi-final in a row.
"Our last one was in '14 so when you look at it like that you'd say that Waterford have a bit of an advantage.
"We worked very, very hard over the winter, as we did last year. If I could put my finger on it, it'd be brilliant.
"But in the league we put in a few consistent performances that gave fellahs confidence, and that was a big thing."
It feels a long way from last summer when the use of a sweeper backfired badly against Tipp before Cork went out of the championship to Wexford.
"It was easy for people to look at that as the low point as well," said Nash of that Tipp game.
"We deployed a sweeper and it didn't really work but we felt as well as management that it was the best way to go.
"There's a bit of a difference between the two years but look, hopefully we'll put in another performance now."
Cork supporters will be hoping Nash's day will be made easier tomorrow by Waterford's use of a sweeper.
"Every team sets up a different way," the 32-year-old shrugged.
"What Waterford decide to do, we'll see on the day, and we'll see what we can do to implement our game.
"There's no real strategy behind it, you just look up and see where best you can put it".

HCExperience = ?
Background: I went to HackCambridge 2016 with my team. The venue was awesome, the town was peaceful and the people there were innovative. But what could go wrong?
(This article only represents my own opinions and has no relation to any organizations I'm currently working for.)
HCExperience is the name of a game that we built at HackCambridge. The game starts with a short introduction and a never-stop-running Joe Nash (@jna_sh) chasing a flying Wi-Fi signal. Just imagine this picture, you may guess that it's sort of issues with Wi-Fi (or maybe you've heard of it from others). So yes the inspiration of this game was just from the "Horrible Connectivity Experience".
What happened at the beginning was, hundreds of people gathered, sat down in a theater and halted the Wi-Fi network and this situation had lasted for at least 4 hours. With efforts made by the hardworking organizers, the situation got improved.
Now think about what you would do when you were browsing webpages and your Wi-Fi was flashing around. I bet you wouldn't open things like annoying floating ads, someone else's selfies and etc. If you accidentally opened these, you'd get raged and probably there wouldn't be any more chance for you to open the correct webpage.
So let's go back to HCExperience. We simulated this kind of situations with emojis. There are three groups of emojis, BAD, GOOD and SPAM. Those emojis will randomly appear on the screen and you will need to choose "GOOD" emojis. If you respond too late, (just like you get offline because of the Wi-Fi), or you clicked on any "BAD" or "SPAM" emojis, your rage will go up. On the contrary, the number of correctly-opened pages will increase until you reach the required number, which will lead you to success. Game is over when your rage blows up.
As your level goes up, the responding time will significantly become less and that means you have to act fast and accurately enough to be successful. This is just about to recreate the feeling when you play flappy bird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
Now, there's more HCExperience. I mean, Horrible Cambridge Experience.
As a first-time organizer, I must admit that they've done a great job. But there are a lot of things that can be improved. Something basic like, bottled water should be provide. Hackers just don't like walking around and wasting time looking for water everywhere in the venue.
Organizers should also consider more about the beauty of the food. The fact is, we do love hot food, but not "liquid food". When everything is "blended" together, chicken, rice, even "Chinese medicine" (something tastes really bad, cannot just be swallowed and fell into pieces..), the experience just gets worse.
Also we were really upset when knowing the fact that the way they chose to judge was through the "expo". (What "expo" means here is that each team picks a table in the venue and waits for people to "visit" then pitch their idea, like, a thousand times.) The whole 24 hours were so tiring and usually hackers just want the event to finish as soon as possible (this is what I feel like), but assuring their work being presented and assessed in a proper way. In my mind, every single team who submit their hack should have the chance to present their product to all other people just once. Expo is just tiring, you have to either walk around and listen to other teams' pitches, or stand at your place and pitch thousands of times to people, both consuming more energy and making you crash badly.
The last but not least, was about how well-organized this event was. People may say, "oh, it's pretty well-organized coz everything before the event was smooth, they got so many sponsors providing many prizes, although there was just a little issue with the network" but I'd say, it's not well-organized, it's almost a disaster. What I saw was people from different organizations, wearing different t-shirts walked onto the stage and took the microphone just like in an American airport. I saw MLH people running around, "taking over" and caring about the mess that the organizers couldn't solve. What could I say now, was probably the lenny face. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It is exiciting to hear that it was their first time organizing the hackathon, but can they just explain the words "user experience" first?

Maintaining Boston's Vibrancy and Transportation Systems in the Face of Sea Level Rise
A city reclaimed from the sea
Settled by European colonists in 1630, Boston was founded on the narrow Shawmut Peninsula behind the protective landforms of what are today Stellwagen Bank, Winthrop, Hull and the 34 Boston Harbor Islands.
Our ancestors sited Boston well. In addition to protecting the city from sea-based attacks, Boston Harbor's natural topography limits extreme storm surges to a maximum of just over six feet. With a ten-foot tide cycle, Boston is currently only at risk of serious flooding if such a surge occurs close to high tide.
Past Development Decisions Increase Future Flood Risk
Experienced mariners, our ancestors knew exactly how high such storm surges would go. They confidently filled in estuaries and shallow bays to increase Boston's footprint by over fifty percent. Of course, they never contemplated sea level rise.
Unfortunately, these filled tidelands will begin to flood chronically with only 2-3 feet of sea level rise—predicted to occur sometime between 2070 and 2100.[1] (see Figure 1).
The City recently released Climate Ready Boston, in which top climate experts derived the following findings:
- Boston is most likely to experience between 7.5 and 18 inches of relative sea level rise[2] by 2050, with a maximum plausible increase of 30 inches.
- Depending on carbon emissions, Boston is likely to experience 3.2 to 7.4 feet of relative sea level rise by 2100, with a maximum plausible level of 10.5 feet.
- Such higher seas will increase Boston's tidal range, wave energy, and tidal flooding, resulting in increased erosion and higher storm surges.
At our country's founding, Boston's landmass was approximately 30 percent smaller than it is today. Sometime between now and perhaps a century from now, Boston's coastline will shrink back to its original configuration once sea levels rise by approximately eight feet.
Additional challenges will vex property managers and transportation officials as coastal flooding becomes chronic in Boston. For example: How do we protect Boston's transportation tunnels and other below-grade infrastructure from saltwater intrusion? Is it cost-effective to retrofit Boston's existing buildings and infrastructure? Would district energy plants improve Boston's energy resilience if specific neighborhoods are cut off from the grid? How can we maintain and even enhance the socioeconomic vibrancy of our city as our coastline moves inland over the coming decades?
Living with Water Design
The concept of Living with Water design[3] focuses on resilience (the ability to bounce back quickly and cheaply from flooding) versus resistance (preventing flooding from occurring in the first place).[4] In 2014, The Boston Harbor Association (now Boston Harbor Now), the City of Boston, Boston Redevelopment Authority (now Boston Planning and Development Agency) and Boston Society of Architects launched an international design competition called Boston Living With Water. The goal was to increase local understanding of flood-resilient design strategies at different scales by engaging with real sites at risk of chronic coastal flooding.
Fifty teams from seven countries worked to redesign a specific building, neighborhood and/or surface highway so that each would continue to thrive once sea levels are five feet higher than today.[5] The three winning entries came from two teams of local designers and a team located unsurprisingly in Venice, Italy. Each team won because it successfully combined feasible flood design strategies with multiple-benefit solutions.
Two critical insights emerged from our collective research, design competition and exchanges with experts from Copenhagen, The Netherlands and Hamburg. First, Boston will require multiple layers of flood protection—flood barriers, floodable transition zones, and flood-prepared buildings and infrastructure. Each will begin to fail as sea levels increase above the surrounding topography, ultimately requiring managed retreat.
Second, individual structures can only be made resilient to storm flooding, not chronic tidal flooding. Once flooding becomes commonplace, regional strategies must be in place to protect the people, buildings, transportation systems and infrastructure of the Greater Boston region as a whole.
When the ocean reclaims its own
There will come a time in perhaps our children's lifetimes when Boston Harbor will begin to reclaim its filled tidelands. It may come suddenly, with an extreme storm that swamps our defenses. It may happen more gradually, with infrastructure and/or buildings no longer worth the cost of retrofitting or rebuilding.
If we have the will and foresight, I hope that our future involves investing in a graceful waterfront barrier that staves off chronic flooding while maintaining a meaningful connection to the harbor. I hope that we use this borrowed time to prepare the city for the day that the barrier is no longer sufficient and we must make city-wide changes.
Getting from here to there will involve substantial breakthroughs in financing and governance. We will need to develop financial mechanisms for transferring real estate value away from the coastline without devastating either real estate values or Boston's tax base. We will need new zoning and building codes that predict and adapt to the retreating coast. We will need a central planning agency with a transparent, fair, effective governing structure able to plan, raise funds, secure public support and implement major civil engineering projects across a broad region and hundreds of property ownerships.
Surviving and thriving in a hotter, saltier future involves hope, involves beauty, and involves all of us working together to keep our dear old city from slipping back into the sea. Boston will have to be different. It doesn't have to be worse. Let's get started.
On June 20, 2017, one hundred and twenty mobility and climate leaders will convene in Cambridge, Massachusetts to discuss the future of mobility in the face of climate change in the Boston region. While the Boston region continues to remain globally competitive, we are in an altogether unique moment in the history of mobility, transportation, and climate decisions. This summit aims to harness the ingenuity and innovation already underway in the Commonwealth as well as the expertise of invited global thought leaders with best practices directly applicable to Boston's challenges.
If you are interested in attending this invite-only summit, please fill out this application. Please note that the summit is full and only waitlist spaces are still available.

[2] Global averages are just that; some areas of the earth will experience relatively faster sea level rise than others. Unfortunately, coastal New England will experience faster relative sea level rise than global averages due to ocean currents and land subsidence.

Wow, I've seldom seem a more vacuous article. Then sea rise numbers are fabricated out of alarmist predictions from failed models.

We have three patents that might help raise city travel up out of danger. 6,923,124 7,127,999 and 7,334,524 Not only would transportation be affordably built well above the water level, it would produce no pollution that would in turn tend to decrease the water level rising over many decades.

A Breakdown of San Francisco's Affordable Housing Crisis
There is a definitive need for affordable housing programs for low-income households. But there is also clearly a need for housing assistance for people earning up to and beyond the city's median income. When available funds and programs don't align well with defined needs – and there is simply not enough money to solve the problem, the housing affordability challenge can seem insurmountable. If there is a silver lining to the current state of housing in the Bay Area, it's that the affordability crisis has served as a much-needed call to action. Under a regional framework known as the 3Ps (production, preservation, and protections), new programs that seek to facilitate new housing construction, preserve existing affordable housing, and to enact tenant protections have been tried, tested, funded, and legislated at the local, regional, and state levels.
How Gen Z Impacts Urban Mobility
New mobility culture calls into question the commute and opens new options for city planning and commute patterns. Our study found almost two-thirds of Gen Z consumers would be willing to accept a longer commute in a self-driving vehicle. While the single driver commuter experience is generally perceived as bad, unhealthy, and stressful, the "we" commute of mobility culture could be a positive and healthy experience similar to today's train commutes.

Home is where the heart is this month, and the new Aquarius Moon on Monday, February 4 brings something especially delightful involving close ties. A nice break as the first half of February finds you alternately bored and raring to go.
You're deciding something important about your property. Give yourself until mid-February to figure it out and you'll be able to think clearly then. Others' motives will also be revealed. And THAT will be interesting! So no pressure for the next three weeks. You couldn't come to a decision now if your life depended on it. Relax and enjoy some low key success in your tenth house of career.
Scorpio, you are a mysterious figure. People, for the life of them, cannot figure out what you are doing at this point. You're concerned about security, yet you're doing everything to stir up the pot. You want to look good, but you're acting out some self-destructive patterns.
Then comes Sunday, February 17, which will be a difficult day personally. Write things down so you can state your case but really best to keep to yourself with a book or good film – under the covers if you can. Plan accordingly, Scorpio!
In the area of home you want to resolve a matter immediately but it is in your best interest to be patient and to await its natural outcome. Resist turmoil. Keep the peace. You have a ton to manage here, with home and family. Endings, beginnings, renovation, excavation…and a new you is born this February.
And a note to self – well, two, actually. One: Rome wasn't built in a day. And Two, this by your fellow water sign Cancerian Helen Keller: Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Don't be afraid to ask for assistance this month. It will help. You're taking on too much by yourself.
Loved ones are standing on hand, waiting to be asked.
Yes, there's the pressure of work or career and you're still not all completely settled in terms of home…
But you have more planetary support than you know. You work more at home in 2019 – it's profitable for you. You make more money this year than you have in a long time.
Only warning: don't spend it all! Jupiter in your second house can make it go out as fast as it comes in.
But do hold a rein on your passion this month when it comes to what is happening at home and with your property. There is so much activity going on in your fourth house of home that it is staggering.
You have in here:
The energy and intention of the awesome Sun
Advantageous beginnings brought about by the new revolutionary (Aquarius) Moon
The brilliant communication and thought of Mercury as of Saturday, February 13
And what does your fourth house rule?
Home and property
Early family
Emotional attachments
Your roots
Now, in love.
Single Scorpios: you are oozing sexual magnetism and drawing Mr. and Ms. Rights your way. You have a dream of what you want and you will get it. Get ready for a partner who pampers you round the clock.
Attached Scorpios: your partner slithers (deliciously!) all over you.
Both Scorpios: you feel a passion you will not be able to control.
In friendship, some of your friends are going through hell. With some, you need to lay down the line.
Keep your dues paid to that club or organization: they are essential for your social life.
When you go out: Winter white (Scorpio Grace Kelly) and black, glamorous and elegant, you must show off your neck and throat. You're going to have to invest in a suit, LBD (little black dress), white coat, evening attire, clutches, bags, scarves.
Designer warehouse, anyone?
And when you stay in – which you'll be doing, too – only the best bathrobe will do.
Even though you make more money this year than most, it's still wise to bargain shop.
You will also entertain more at home.
And finally, for those die hard hermit Scorpios, you will stay at home, but you will enjoy it more.
Relax. It's a win-win situation this February for Scorpios.
As you begin and end any life-chapters right now, keep your eyes clear on the road.
It does not matter that you don't know yet exactly where that road is headed!
Just keep your eyes ON it. Whether it be your career path or the long road of your relationship: keep your eyes ON it.
You've been working hard, Scorpio, chipping away. Now, February is an amazing time for you. You are about to see the flowering of your results. Your cup will – truly – overfloweth.
Try not to let it overfloweth, however, in terms of the drink inside it (or however else you bury your demons nowadays.) You have too much at stake.
For those of you looking for a job or for more work on top of what you already have, you could get so fortunate over these next four months! Jupiter brings opportunities. You just must be prepared to grab hold of them.
To do this, you must be prepared to leave the house once in a while…I see so many of you Scorpios holing up at home!
As February progresses, however, you do get out there and your life becomes more social. This leads to a fun time – and even the possibility of romance…Thank goodness Venus, planet of love, is direct for Valentine's Day!
Just in time.
Have a happy one, Scorpio. If anyone deserves a Happy Valentine's Day, it's you.
You love someone but you are afraid to tell them how you really feel.
That's not a comment on the person by the way. That's YOU, Scorpio. Only you.
And this is good for your fifth house of love because, after mid-month all the planets are stacking up for you to start having a good time there.
The fifth house rules parties, ideas, love, drama, offspring – artistic masterpieces or children – and play.
As hard as you are trying to work and to concentrate on your career, you will be pulled to new ideas, and to sharing them with people. Which means you are still finalizing your mission statement.
It's fantastic. People will fall in love with you.
Now, sexy Scorpio, as February gets underway it's the month to loosen up.
This heralds a return of your old psychic self, where your instincts were spot on and you wouldn't be caught out like you've been feeling recently. A situation involving your home and property has made you pretty bizarre-seeming. Please don't give your sign the bad rap that some do. All that talk of obsession and vengeance….no, no, no!
Know that you can do it. Remember there will never be anyone like you ever again. Make the most of every molecule you've got as long as you've got a second to go.
And – you have survived too long to let yourself go now.

This morning I saw a segment on the Today Show about intermittent fasting in relation to help with Alzheimers. I don't have Alzheimers. Nor do I know if I'm at risk for it. But that's besides the point.
I've been Intermittent Fasting for 2 full months now, and I'm a huge proponent of it. Don't get me started on it in real life; I may not shut up about it for a solid half hour.
How does intermittent fasting relate to minimalism and mindfulness? The huge draw is weight loss, but there are tons of other benefits too.
In this post I'll cover the lifestyle benefits of intermittent fasting (IF). I won't go deep into the true science-y benefits of IF, nor will I talk about how I do it in this post. If you are interested in learning more, email me or leave a comment below the post.
Weight Loss
Beans was born in spring 2016. I've been struggling to lose the baby weight since then. I had a lot of other personal issues going on during that time, which I may go into in another post soon, but either way my attempts at exercising and dieting were failing. In fact, I'd generally lose 2 pounds to gain 3 or more. Over and over again.
Since I started intermittent fasting in late August, I've lost exactly 5 pounds.
Now, 5 pounds in 10 weeks isn't a lot by any means. But I feel awesome and I've gone down a pants size. And now that I'm incorporating exercise into my routine I'm slimming down even faster.
Even more importantly, I've kept the weight off during these past 10 weeks. It's been a steady decline during this time, not the usual yo-yo that I see when I'm trying to lose weight via dieting and exercise alone.
I still have about 10 more pounds that I'd like to lose, but I'll be very happy to lose those pounds slowly over the next few months.
Before I started intermittent fasting, my eating habits were abysmal. I ate anything I wanted whenever I wanted. 12" hoagies from Wawa. Two breakfasts (I'm actually sort of knownfor having a second breakfast within my friend group…). Fried food all the time.
I ate when I wasn't hungry. I ate when I was bored. I snacked all day at work.
One of my favorite things to do was put Beans to bed, and then have a feast in front of the TV and numb out on Netflix.
Since I started intermittent fasting, I've re-learned what hunger actually feels like. I can now identify true hunger versus boredom. I don't eat because I'm stressed.
I feel more in tune with what my body needs and when. In short, it feels super cool to be in tune with my body.
Increased Focus and Increased Energy
One of the things I worried about before I tried intermittent fasting was feeling jittery and weak during my fasts.
It's quite the opposite. I feel laser-focused and I actually have moreenergy. I feel very alert, which is quite the stark contrast from the carb-comas I usually felt in the mornings after breakfast and the inevitable carb-heavy mid-morning snack.
Working out during fasting works, too. In a book I read, the author mentioned that athletes report having betterworkouts during their intermittent fasts. Think: run faster and jump higher. Etc.
I also get a lot of shit done when I'm fasting. My mind works lightning fast and I can think clearly.
Analogy time. If I were a car, I'd be running on the cleanest fuel during intermittent fasting. Then if you stuck sugar in my tank, I'd slow down and inevitably crash.
Intermittent fasting feels like a clean energy burn.
Money Saved
This is pretty easy. If you're eating less, you're spending less on food. Plain and simple.
More Time
This is also an easy one. Let's say each meal takes up an hour or so. Skip meals, have more time.
I spend less time eating, searching for food, thinking about food, etc.
Weight Loss Even While Eating Whatever The F* I Want
To piggy-back on weight loss with intermittent fasting, I want to mention separately that I eat whatever the heck I want when I am eating.
I don't fast and then have an apple to break the fast.
I generally try to make healthy choices when I am eating, but it generally doesn't happen. I eat whatever I want. Anyone who hangs out with me can vouch for that.
And to remind you, I've lost 5 pounds overall in the past 10 weeks. It's pretty cool.
Wanna Chat More About Intermittent Fasting?
As I mentioned above, my plan was only to go into the lifestyle benefits of intermittent fasting (IF). Not the how-to or the real health benefits.
BUT, I'm a huge fan of IF and I could talk about it for days. But only if you're interested.
Have questions about intermittent fasting, or want to share your experience? Comment below!

Disclaimer: I am not a health professional, nor am I able to give out real medical advice. Check with your doctor before starting any fasting program. Blah blah blah other legal jargon so you won't sue me if you try intermittent fasting and have an issue from it. More here. Okthanksloveyoubye.

Is the error in equation development or in the solution set?
Help me, I don't know how to proceed in this question.
All the implications are true but you are drawing the wrong conclusion. You have proved that $x^{2}+1=0$ implies $x=1$ or $x =-1$ but the converse of this implication is not true. The fact is there is no real number $x$ with $x^{2}+1=0$.
When they multiplied by $(1-x^2)$, they introduced two additional roots for the equation $\pm 1$.

has four roots in the complex domain which are $\pm 1$ and also $\pm i$.
The final implication should be "$\implies x\in\{1,-1,i,-i\}$." That is, the solutions to $x^2+1=0$ (if any) are among the elements of this set, not that all the elements of the set are automatically solutions of the equation.
No. It is not as plugging in $1$ and $-1$ will give you $(-1)^2 + 1 = 2$ and $1^2 +1 =2$.
The problem is that multiplying by $x^2 -1$ gives extraneous solutions and $1, -1$ are the solutions to $x^2 -1 =0$ which was brought in from nowhere.
This would b similar to doing this:
Suppose $(x -3)(x-2) = x^2 -5x + 6 = 0$ (So the solutions are $x = 3$ or $x = 2$. As that is zero we multiply it by $x+3057$ So
$(x^2 - 5x+6 ) = 0$ so
$(x^2 - 5x + 6)(x+3057) = 0\cdot (x+3057)=0$ so
$x^3 - 3052x^2 -1579x +18342 = 0$
If we tried to solve $x^3 - 3052x^2 -1579x +18342 = 0$ we would get $x = 3$ or $x = 2$ or $x =-3057$.
The third solution came in when we multiplied by $x+3057$. That is because $x = -3057$ is a solution to $x+3057=0$. So by multiplying $0$ by $x+3057$ we add a new solution to the problem.
So in this "false proof":
So $x^2 + 1 = 0$ has no real solutions. (It has complex solutions, $x = i$ or $x = -i$ but no real solutions).
But $x^2 -1=0$ has two real solutions; $x = 1$ and $x = -1$.
By mulitplying both sides of the equation $x^2 + 1= 0$ by $x^2 -1$ we are taking all the original solutions (there are no real solutions but there were complex $x=i$ and $x=-i$) and adding the solutions $x = 1$ and $x =-1$. So we end up with solutions $x =1$ and $x = -1$ but they were both artificially added when there no real solutions in the first place.

With a big heart and a humble fish fry fundraiser, Dee Johnson started the nonprofit Lend A Hand Foundation (www.lendahandfoundation.org) in Oakland in 1997, and has since been delivering school backpacks to more than 5,000 kids each year, and taking kids at family shelters out to libraries, baseball games and cultural events.
And now Johnson has written a book, telling others how to do it too. "Facing the Nonprofit Blues: Turning Life"s Challenges Into Life"s Joys!" is now available on Amazon. It"s part personal history — of Johnson"s life growing up in a poor family, being a foster parent and surviving cancer — and part how-to book, explaining how to start a charitbale nonprofit, how to network, form a board of directors and "become a professional beggar." The book is meant "to inspire others to help in our community," Johnson says. "My mom taught me at an early age about giving. So I want to give back any way I can."

Dems demand scrutiny of white supremacists and domestic terrorism
Twice this year, Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee have urged Republican leaders to hold hearings on the security threats posed by white supremacists and their allies. In both instances, GOP officials ignored the requests.
Politico reports that in the wake of Charlottesville, House Dems are trying again.
Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee are asking panel Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) to examine racist fringe groups, including those that organized Saturday's violent protest against the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on the University of Virginia campus. […]
California Rep. Lou Correa, who sits on the Homeland panel, was the first Democrat to call for hearings. "Yesterday's horrific acts against innocent Americans were clear acts of terrorism," he said. "Our country has a homegrown terrorism problem we refuse to address. That ends now. We must hold hearings and finally address that terrorism inflicted by white supremacy extremists is destroying our country."
As best as I can tell, the panel's Republican leadership hasn't yet responded, but I'm hard pressed to imagine why the House Homeland Security Committee would choose not to take a closer look at this threat.
Indeed, just yesterday, Foreign Policy magazine published a striking report, noting that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security warned in May "that white supremacist groups had already carried out more attacks than any other domestic extremist group over the past 16 years and were likely to carry out more attacks over the next year, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by Foreign Policy."
These kinds of findings have been common for quite a while. A New York Times report found two years ago, for example, "Since Sept. 11, 2001, nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacists, antigovernment fanatics and other non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims."
Longtime readers may recall that just a few months into the Obama presidency, congressional Republicans and conservative media claimed to be outraged by a general alert to law enforcement from the Department of Homeland Security. The document highlighted the findings of a report about domestic extremists and their interest in politically motivated violence, and there was no real reason to find this controversial.
But a controversy ensued anyway. Despite the fact that the report had been commissioned by the Bush/Cheney administration, Republicans and much of the right freaked out – with conservatives insisting that concerns about violent radicals could implicate mainstream activists on the right. Some GOP members of Congress even called for DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's resignation.
Even at the time, the Republican tantrum was bizarre, but it nevertheless convinced federal officials to scale back their scrutiny, at least for a while, of home-grown extremists and potentially violent fringe radicals.
We can learn from these mistakes. Now is a perfectly good time for officials to scrutinize these threats.

Ryan Tubridy highest paid at RTÉ as top 10 presenters receive more than €3m
George Hamilton rejoins list, while Mary Wilson makes it four women for first time
Ryan Tubridy, RTÉ's highest-paid presenter, pictured outside Number 10 Downing Street, London, in October.
Ryan Tubridy remained the highest-paid presenter at RTÉ in 2016 with a pay packet of €495,000, ahead of Ray D'Arcy, whose pay increased €50,000 to €450,000, new figures from RTÉ show.
Mr Tubridy, the Late Late Show and radio host, has been the best-paid person at Montrose since the departure of Pat Kenny from the broadcaster, while Mr D'Arcy has been in second place since rejoining RTÉ. His pay rise in 2016 is explained by the fact his Saturday night television chat show was only on air for part of 2015.
Both men stayed ahead of Liveline host Joe Duffy, who kept the third spot on the published list of the ten highest-paid presenters, earning €389,988, the same as the year before.
RTÉ said the 2016 figures represented a 32 per cent reduction on the fees paid in 2008. However, total pay for the ten best-paid on-air individuals went up by about €74,000 in 2016 compared to the year before, which took their combined pay bill across the €3 million mark.
Mid-morning current affairs presenter Sean O'Rourke climbed to fourth place with pay of €308,964, up from €290,113 the previous year.
Marian Finucane was the highest-paid woman, receiving €300,617 for her services, up from €295,000 in the last list, while radio and Prime Time presenter Miriam O'Callaghan was paid €299,000, the same as in 2015.
Claire Byrne was paid €216,000, up from €201,500, which put her in sixth place, while Bryan Dobson, who at this point was the co-presenter of the Six-One news bulletin was the seventh-highest paid with pay of €198,146, up slightly from €195,913.
New entries
The top ten is rounded out by two presenters who did not appear on the 2015 list. Soccer commentator George Hamilton rejoins the list in ninth position with pay of €186,195, while Radio 1's Drivetime presenter Mary Wilson is a new entry in tenth, receiving €185,679.
The addition of Ms Wilson means this is the first time that four of the ten highest-paid presenters have been women.
Mr Dobson's then co-presenter on the Six-One bulletin, Sharon Ní Bheoláin, is not on the list, however. Ms Ní Bheoláin spoke out about a gender pay gap in RTÉ in 2017 following reports on a similar imbalance at the BBC.
Former Westlife singer turned 2fm DJ Nicky Byrne, who was paid €200,583 in 2015 and was eighth-placed, does not appear in the 2016 top ten. In 2015, he presented the National Lottery game show the Million Euro Challenge, which did not return the following year.
Sports presenter Darragh Moloney, who was paid €188,803 in 2015, also fell off the list, suggesting he was paid less than this sum in 2016.
Mr O'Rourke, Mr Dobson and Ms Wilson are all employees of RTÉ, meaning their figures include an employer pension contribution, while the rest of the top ten are contractors who are paid for their services through their companies.
RTÉ director-general Dee Forbes said the broadcaster continued to exceed its public commitment on the issue of top presenter pay.
'Area of focus'
"The audited figures released today for 2016 sees RTÉ maintain our commitment to reduce these earnings by 30 per cent as compared to 2008 levels, while continuing to value the significant contribution our presenters make, and to RTÉ's ability to optimise commercial revenue to support Ireland's public media," she said.
The issue will continue to be "an area of focus for me", Ms Forbes added.
"Within a challenging marketplace and in the absence of meaningful funding reform, we are making significant efforts to reduce costs across the organisation, in addition to the considerable reduction in operating costs implemented since 2008."
RTÉ noted that the top ten presenter earnings represents less than 1 per cent of RTÉ's total operating costs and less than 2 per cent of total personnel costs in 2016, a year in which it recorded a deficit of €19.7 million.
The broadcaster has been criticised in 2018 for "inconsistencies" in how it pays people. A report by law firm Eversheds Sutherland found that more than 100 people paid as contractors had "attributes akin to employment" and should have their status reviewed.
The National Union of Journalists also said this week that it would seek a meeting with RTÉ management to discuss concerns relating to the offering of five-year, fixed-term contracts for special correspondent positions within RTÉ News.

text: I can't say I have ever really been into horses. I did have a fondness for the TV show 'Black Beauty' back in the day and 'The Magnificent Seven' is my favorite movie of the Western genre. And we all know that Westerns feature a lot of horses. But those who have a passion for these creatures tell me that they have personalities and no two are the same and I must defer to their experience and knowledge. Certainly, this one was expecting some kind of treat as I approached. Used to a carrot or an apple it looked up hopefully as it approached the fence. How disappointed it must have been when all I could offer was the click of my shutter. Sorry horse but thanks for the pic.
