Spaceflight in popular culture has served two important functionsapart from its entertainment value, that is. first, it served to inspire at a time when the entire notion of traveling into space or to other worlds was an idea beneath the contempt of most scientists and engineers. it not only inspired, it carried the torch for the centuries it took for technology to finally make space travel a reality. Second, it actedand still actsas a mirror or gauge of both public interest in spaceflight and the state of contemporary astronautical science. Ron Miller in Spaceflight and Popular Culture

I believe we are more wandering around and providing color for this one, rather than treating it as a convention with a table. It doesn't sound like we will be allowed aboard outside of a changing tent on the deck by the scissor lift before the event start at 10:00, so please plan accordingly as far as your suiting up needs.
Here is an update from the requestor:
- Members of the Rebel Legion can board the ship using the 3rd/final gangway as they come down the pier. This gangway has our scissor lift, which they can use to load-on any heavy gear that cannot be carried up and down the gangway. The lift will be staffed by a member of Engineering throughout the day.
- We will have a pop-up tent at the top of that gangway which is serving as a changing room/storage area for the 501st that can be shared with your group as well. This tent is in a space not accessible to members of the general public so your gear should be safest there. We do recommend, however, that you keep any particular valuables on your person or else rent one of the Museums lockers through our Admissions Desk.
- Your participation in this event is appreciated simply as acting as a presence throughout the Museum. Please enjoy the exhibits, spaces, and any spaces available to the public! Museum maps are available at Admissions and photography is allowed everywhere throughout the ship.
- The Museums hours of operation are between 10AM 5PM. Please be sure to have all gear loaded off by 5PM so that our crew can carry out closing procedures.

Note: We will NOT have a table set up for props at this event. Majority is arriving at 1:00 p.m. as we have a morning troop this day also.

Lemon Rice Recipe with step by step photos. Lemon rice is a crunchy, flavorful and sour rice recipe.
This is one of the most popular and often made rice recipe from South India. A rice dish I have had at a few South Indian temples and also in restaurants.
This lemon rice dish is one of the easiest to make. already cooked or steamed rice is mixed with a spiced lemon and peanut mixture.
You can make lemon rice with freshly cooked rice or even with leftover rice. The peanuts add crunch to this sour and aromatic rice recipe. You can cook the rice Al dente or cook a bit more. Apart from Chinese fried rice, Pulao or Biryani, in all other rice recipes, I prefer to cook rice grains more than Al dente.
Best is to serve lemon rice with pappadums or even with a side vegetable salad or even coconut chutney.
It can also be made as a tiffin box or as a picnic lunch. Its a light dish and you can have it as a light breakfast also.
How to make lemon rice
Cooking rice
1. First rinse 1 cup heaped regular rice a couple of times and then soak in enough water for 30 minutes.
2. Then drain all the water from the rice. Add the rice in a pressure cooker. Add ¼ teaspoon salt or add salt as required.
3. Also add 2 cups water.
4. Pressure cook the rice for 8 to 10 minutes or for 2 to 3 whistles on a medium-high flame. when the pressure settles down on its own in the cooker, then open the lid.
5. remove the rice in a bowl or plate and let it become warm or cool at room temperature. You can also fluff the cooked rice and let it cool in the cooker itself. 1 heaped cup of raw rice will yield 3 to 4 cups of cooked rice. This depends on the type of rice.
6. Squeeze juice from 1 lime or 1 small lemon. You will need about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice. If you want more tangy taste, then you can add more lemon juice. Keep aside.
Frying peanuts and cashews
7. Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a pan. Add peanuts.
8. Fry the peanuts on a low to medium flame till they become golden and crunchy.
9. remove and keep aside.
10. in the same pan add cashews.
11. Fry cashews till they turn golden. Keep aside.
Making lemon rice
12. Now add 1 tablespoon sesame oil in the same pan. When the oil becomes hot, then add mustard seeds.
12. When the mustard seeds begun to crackle, then add urad dal.
13. On a low flame, sauté the urad dal till they turn golden.
14. Next add curry leaves, chopped green chilies and dry red chilies.
15. Sauté for some seconds till the red chilies change color.
16. Switch off the flame and add turmeric powder and asafoetida.
17. Mix very well.
18. Now pour this tempering mixture in the cooked rice.
19. Add the fried peanuts and cashews.
20. Add lemon juice.
21. Add salt.
22. Mix very well.
23. Check the taste and add more lemon juice or salt if you want. keep the lemon rice covered for the flavors to blend for 4 to 5 minutes.
24. Serve lemon rice with papads or vadams and coconut chutney or just have lemon rice plain. You can even pack lemon rice in tiffin or for a travel journey.

- When the pressure settles down on its own in the cooker, remove the lid. Remove the cooked rice in a plate or in a bowl.
- Let the rice become warm or cool at room temperature

why did they change it to make her drop 2 mounts anyway? Whats the reasoning? They;ve never done it with any other boss...
I get why they don't go down that road. It really sucks when a game breaks, and you don't get your stuff, but they seem to be well aware of what letting GMs hand out mounts would lead to.
That doesn't make this current bug any better, nor am I claiming it, but I get it.
Game full of bugs, worthless hotfixes that break more than they fix and have to be reverted, and useless GMs that refuse to help with anything and hide behind omnipotent "policies" that only exists to benefit the company not the customers? Why doesn't this surprise anymore in the gaming industry...
Sadly if anyone says "just unsub"... this is something we have to deal with in nearly every goddamn game so it's not any solution (Wolcen just came out, guess what, it's full of bugs).
We did a Jaina mount run last night and can confirm only one dropped. Opened a ticket and the response was similar to what they said here. Reverting back to 1 mount was not communicated to the player base. Had we known this in advance, we would not have gone to Jaina.
Many people that did not kill her before probably finished the raid just to have double drop and they were fukd hard by another example of Bli$$ard incompetenece.
I ask you this question again: what is not 'wasting of resources' of CS for you if not helping the players?

When Politics and Religion Collide
|Date Added
When I was a child our temple had a huge sign in the front lawn that said "Save Soviet Jewry". I don't think that anyone in the 1960s thought that it was at all controversial. We were engaged in the Cold War and anti-Soviet sentiment was at an all time high. As a child the sign made me think. It got me to ask questions. It made me proud that our congregation cared about people far away.
Theses days I often wonder that if we were to put a sign outside our building consistent with Reform Jewish values, what might it be? The slogan of Reform Judaism in America has always been "be a light unto the nations". We have a beautiful history of helping the underdogs in society. Our tradition demands that we care for the segments of society that are most at risk. Unfortunately, today that list is quite long.
In pithy form, here are some signs I would suggest – "We stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters", "Women's rights are human rights", "Secure borders with kindness and mercy", "Nazis murdered 6,000,000 Jews", "Patriotism requires questioning" "Hate speech is Lashon Hara (evil speech)" "Coexistence for a kinder, gentler America" "Peace is the greatest value", "We died in Nazi Europe because the borders closed." More important than placing these signs in the grass is writing them upon our hearts,
There are many synagogues these days putting signs out. There is a point when politics is no longer politics and it spills over into morality. At that moment it becomes the realm of religion. When Jews are no longer mentioned in speeches about the Holocaust, a tipping point has been reached. When families in the midst of immigration are torn apart, a tipping point is reached. When religious profiling is used as a litmus test, a tipping point has been reached. When White Supremacists and Neo-Nazis are exalted by the President of the United States silence is wrong.
It is here that a wonderful opportunity exists. Reaching out to others of all races, religions, sexual preferences is fulfilling the mitzvah of Tikkun Olam. Speaking out against hatred in all of its forms is the hallmark of our tradition. Embracing the stranger rather than fearing them brings peace to our world. Shalom means not only "peace" but also "wholeness". We need to be wholly present, attentive and proactive to create a world worthy of our teachings.
What are the signs that you are writing on your heart?

So for owners of Huawei phones using the Kirin 659 midrange chipset, there are a few challenges they face. These phones – like the Honor 9i, Huawei Y9 (2018 variant), Honor 9 Lite, and the Huawei Nova 2i – are budget midrange devices and are probably a bit slow while running on EMUI. So you take unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM. We understand that an AOSP custom ROM makes the Kirin 659 perform way better than Huawei's stock EMUI. But then, the camera becomes a problem.
When you flash an AOSP-based custom ROM on a Kirin 659 device, you may get better performance, but the camera app will be shot to hell. You usually get distorted photos, multi-colored lines, and artifacts on images all around. It's basically a trade off, but it doesn't have to be now. With XDA member "Darkest-Dark" porting the excellent camera app from the P20, it would mean that the camera on your custom ROM may just behave correctly.
The P20 camera port will be bringing the proper camera library files from Huawei, so it will at least give you better images than those produced on the AOSP stock camera app. The port also gives you control over the ISO and shutter speed, something that would improve your images radically. The port also brings the famed portrait mode, HDR, and even the P20's Night Shot.
So how do you do this? It's pretty easy, actually.
What you need:
- Unlocked bootloader – Everything starts here. And you have to take note that Huawei will only be unlocking bootloaders until July 22nd, so you don't have a lot of time. You can request for a bootloader unlock code before that happens. The company has decided to forever stop unlocking bootloaders after the said date.
- A Kirin 659-powered device. This port was tested on an Honor 9 Lite phone.
- Install the latest version of Magisk on your phone.
- Download the Magisk module for the port via the official XDA thread.
- Transfer the module ZIP file to your phone's internal storage.
Installing the Magisk module for the P20 camera app
- Launch the Magisk Manager application on your phone.
- Tap on the Modules option.
- Tap on the Plus button to add a module. Select the Flash Module ZIP option.
- Tap and hold on the Magisk Module ZIP file you want to install.
- Tap the Open button at the top right corner of the screen. Wait for the installation to finish.
- Tap on the Reboot button. Wait for your phone to reboot and then you're done.
The P20 camera app will then replace the stock camera. A note of caution, though. Obviously, you can't expect a quality jump like images from the P20 cameras. The Kirin 659 is a midrange chipset for budget midrange smartphones, so the camera hardware is not really that excellent. Having said that, it will surely be capable of decent photos with the right lighting.

As we discover on a daily basis, the bonding over midcentury modern can occur at any given time, anywhere. When architect Mario Pareja connected to his clients through their children's shared school, their journey towards designing a dream home for the couple was bound for.
The clients were after an industrial feel and having the main rooms face the beautiful Lake Barcroft view was of utter importance. We spoke to Pareja about the modernist and midcentury aesthetic and his approach to this project.
Can you tell us a bit about the story of this house/project and its owners?
I met the clients Moe and Michelle Jafari in a volunteer program in my children's school. I mentioned that I owned a small architectural firm and that we were very modern with a tilt to midcentury modern. They mentioned that they lived in a midcentury modern in a residential development called Lake Barcroft.
They were looking for a water front property to build their dream home. We went to see a lot that was for sale, but they were not happy with the views or size, so they did not pursue it. From that moment it took five years for them to find the right lot. I got a call in late September in 2013 from Michelle telling me they got a lot with a tear down, and asked if I would still be interested in designing their home.
What was the first question you asked yourself when you got the assignment?
How can i represent the feel of a midcentury, but keeping the spirit intact of being progressive.
What did your clients ask for in their brief?
A critical part of the program was that all the main rooms should face the lake. This was a difficult undertaking because after we tore down the existing house we could not add to the footprint without creating issues with the watershed act of Fairfax County.
What was your approach for the project?
I walked the property at various times of the day to get a feel for the light and views. Quickly I realized that the best view would be from the third level that would eventually become the great room.
Which is your favourite/most important feature of this house and why?
My favorite feature of this house is the great room and how you approach it. The main floor is reached by a bridge that creates an amazing threshold from the public to the private. When you enter the house you have a long view of the lake.
The house features a dramatic roof-line and an interesting mix of materials and shapes. Can you tell us a bit about your inspiration?
The clients wanted to have an industrial feel and maintenance free materials we primarily used Galvalum for the roof that is also part of the wall system, cement board for exterior siding and composite concrete floor system for all the floors. The main level (great room) is skewed to get the maximum diagonal surface area of the lake, but also by skewing it, the next door neighbor to the South West did not lose a view to the lake from his studio.
Have you found any inspiration in the midcentury period while designing the house?
My inspiration for midcentury design starts with Frank Loyd Wright's Usonian houses of the early forties to the late fifties. Especially the houses he designed in Pleasantville, NY.
The Modernist and midcentury aesthetic still inspire many contemporary architects, why do you think this is the case?
The freedom to express on the outside what is occurring on the inside is critical. The placement of the house on the natural site without altering the site to accept the house.
Why do you think it's important to continue producing houses/buildings that conform to modernist design principles?
The newer green materials that are being manufactured beg for new forms and spaces where the material can be celebrated and also the human spirit.

Facebook (FB) - Get Report famously made an offer to buy Snap (SNAP) - Get Report for $3 billion several years ago. At the rate things are going, that may be the price at which Facebook gets the company at some point.
Because here's the reality, gleaned from hundreds of Facebook pieces I have edited seemingly in the past month. Facebook is as hungry as ever, and that is bad news to an upstart in Snap that arguably doesn't have the internal structure (or finances) to outmaneuver. CEO Mark Zuckerberg's beast is going to pound Snap into the ground with new services and better data utilization, causing Snap to beg for mercy.
For its efforts, Facebook will earn a ton more money and probably see its stock skyrocket as a result.
"Facebook is supposed to earn about eight bucks, according to my calculations, eight bucks in 2019," Jim Cramer said during a web conference with Action Alerts PLUS members Wednesday. "So the stock is at $158 -- 20 times 2019 earnings is too cheap, so I am saying that you should own Facebook."
Advertising is projected to lead the boom, with mobile advertising in particular expected to drive profits for the company. Mobile advertising, which represented $22 million in revenue for the company last year, could more than double to $54 million in 2019, if analyst estimates are correct.
Facebook's shares rose 0.2% to $159.26 by Thursday's close.
WATCH: Jim Cramer on Snap's Upgrade
Full disclosure: I think Snapchat's filters are a waste of life.
What's Hot on TheStreet
How can we argue with this one:Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary is more fond of Tesla's (TSLA) - Get Report product than its stock.
"At some point it has to fall to gravity," he said told TheStreet's Scott Gamm in an interview. "It's been trading on a different planet for years and now it has to trade on Earth." Amen.
Relax, Apple stock bulls: For now, reports suggest a moderate delay in the Apple (AAPL) - Get Report iPhone 8 ramp, rather than something more severe, points out TheStreet's Eric Jhonsa. So far, the market has shrugged off concerns on a possible delayed iPhone 8 release (as in it misses the holiday launch window). But it's worthwhile to keep something in mind: Apple shares have lagged the S&P 500 over the past month, so some doubt may be trickling into the bull camp.
Further, key Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) - Get Reportjust served up some uninspiring figures that suggest waning smartphone demand.
This beverage executive just went off the rails: Hat tip to TheStreet's Lindsay Rittenhouse for an insightful interview with SodaStream's (SODA) - Get Report CEO Daniel Birnbaum, who pulled no punches in his views on PepsiCo (PEP) - Get Report and Coca-Cola (KO) - Get Report .
Said Birnbaum on why his company's stock has surged this year:
The company is addressing mega rends -- health and wellness, convenience, consumer choice and good, important values. We have the right product at the right time. Our competition is prehistoric and that might explain the success we've seen around the world, particularly in Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Norway, all over the world. This is not a local phenomenon. This is a global megatrend. We're looking to embrace a sustainable world for our children to live in.
Birnbaum didn't shut the door on making acquisitions, either.
OK, Target, we see you: It looks like shoppers are noticing more deals scattered about Target (TGT) - Get Report stores.
The discount retailer, which has sought to slash prices this year to better compete with rivals Walmart (WMT) - Get Report and Amazon (AMZN) - Get Report , said Thursday its second-quarter results would come in above the high end of its estimates for 95 cents a share to $1.15 a share. Target credited improved traffic and sales trends through the first two months of the second quarter.
Apple and PepsiCo are holdings in Jim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS Charitable Trust Portfolio. Want to be alerted before Cramer buys or sells AAPL and PEP? Learn more now.
Meet Jim!

Industrial Alliance Launches an Original and Unique TV Campaign
Quebec City,
News Release
Beginning on September 24, Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services will start airing a unique and original advertising campaign on major French language television networks. The TV commercial is a cartoon animation featuring an elephant, the Company's symbol, which is presented in the same style as the one on the Industrial Alliance logo. The simple, uncluttered and creative ad also introduces a new slogan: Votre vie sur toute la ligne (In Line with Your Life), which faithfully reflects the Company's mission to accompany its clients throughout the course of their lives.
"The ad is very different from what is normally presented on television by companies in the insurance and financial services sector," stated Jean Routhier, Communications Director, Industrial Alliance. "It features the Company's best known symbol, an elephant, following a path – a line – that is punctuated with various events. These events refer to the dreams people have at different stages in life – dreams of a home, a family, a comfortable retirement. We believe that the ad's use of the elephant will allow a rapid association with Industrial Alliance. Its overall theme will also help promote the complete range of products and services offered by the Company."
Industrial Alliance chose an original concept created by Isabelle Cardinal as the core of its new TV ad campaign. The Company also called upon the help of animation experts known internationally for the quality of their work, including Pascal Blais Productions and producer Cordell Barker. The ad's uncluttered style, subtle humour, upbeat music and soothing colours will allow the Company to stand out in today's television environment.
Industrial Alliance is a life and health insurance company offering a full line of insurance products and financial services. The seventh largest life and health insurance company in Canada, Industrial Alliance insures over 1.5 million Canadians, employs more than 2,000 people and manages over $16 billion in assets.

After a seven day vacation it sure was nice to get home to our family and the ranch. We were right back in the saddle today moving the cows in closer for calving. Since we sold the pony this past Fall we're a bit short handed on horses right now. We have three horses we can ride at the moment. We decided to let the very responsible and careful ten year old lag behind on the 4-wheeler with the younger kids. He was also given the camera to be my photographer. The pictures might be a little blurry, but he'll be a professional before ya know it!
See, he was getting creative with it even. Nice shot I thought.
He loves his younger siblings and I found this picture among the rest. Ok, we have cute kids...
Cows are pretty smart animals... in general. You will get a dumb or crazy one every now and then, but most of them remember year after year the schedule and pastures. Most of these girls knew they were headed in closer to shelter belts to get ready for calving. When it comes time to take the pairs out from those left to calve (pairing out) they will remember the routine from the past few years and head for the gate with their calves trotting at their sides.
Here is our current tack shed situation. It's a mess, especially with kids trying to reach their things over other things and everything not having anywhere particular to go. That's one reason I am so excited to get this barn finished, and it's getting close. The tack room will be awesome!
The electrician was here last week and put in all the lighting. The dusk to dawn light is a bright one! This is a cool barn.

"I was very pleased with the guys tonight, as times were improved from what they have been running on our home course. Again, however, there are some gaps in times that must be closed in order for us to compete as the season progresses."

Kelly commends NSPCC for 'Fight for a Fair Start' campaign
Speaking after the launch of the NSPCC's Fight for a Fair Start campaign, Sinn Féin MLA Catherine Kelly said:
"It is shocking that perinatal mental health services for new mums in the north are lagging behind similar services in Britain.
"I commend the NSPCC for launching their Fight for a Fair Start campaign for better specialist care for new mums.
"Investment for specialist perinatal mental health services is vital so families can access the right support in their local area.
"It is also vital that midwives and health visitors get the training and support they need in order to provide new mothers with the sufficient health treatment.
"Sinn Fein continues to support the provision of perinatal care and call for additional perinatal mental health provision, specifically the establishment of a mother and baby unit.
"It is also important, given the lack of perinatal services across Ireland, that both Health Departments continue to look at the potential for all-island perinatal services in improving care for mothers."

After at least two failed attempts to regulate Oklahoma's non-nurse midwives in recent years, two state legislators told GateHouse Media they plan to author bills in the upcoming session to do just that.
At least three others said they would support the effort.
"We need to be more aware of who we're choosing to deliver our babies," said state Sen. Brenda Stanley, R-Midwest City.
Stanley and Sen. Mark Allen, R-Spiro, both plan to author legislation. They are backed by Rep. Lundy Kiger, R-Poteau, Rep. Jason Dunnington, D-Oklahoma City and Rep. Collin Walke, D-Oklahoma City.
"This issue needs to be looked at," Dunnington said. "And policy (should be) put in place to be more protective of women and newborn children."
The lawmakers' remarks come one week after an investigation by GateHouse Media and The Oklahoman found seven babies had died during or after attempted midwife-assisted out-of-hospital births last year alone. Four of those deaths were deemed preventable by experts.
Oklahoma does not license or regulate non-nurse midwives, so anyone can call themselves a midwife and practice as one. They are not required to report their outcomes to any state agency, nor is there an official oversight body to set standards or investigate incidents, the investigation also found.
Oklahoma is among about a dozen states without such regulations.
Non-nurse midwives also provide prescription medication to mothers and babies, even though they are not licensed medical professionals, GateHouse Media also uncovered. The Oklahoma attorney general filed related felony charges against midwife Debra Disch in September.
Other states that regulate non-nurse midwives have established minimum education and qualification standards for licensure, created oversight bodies to set rules, and procedures to discipline midwives for violations. Most also require midwives to report annual outcomes on deliveries, hospital transfers and deaths.
Oklahoma lawmakers are not yet sure what will be included in the legislation. Stanley said she plans to include language requiring midwives to report their outcomes, but nothing that would deny mothers the choice of a home birth overseen by a midwife.
"I don't want to limit anybody's choice," Stanley said. "It's about helping people make good choices."
Legislators must request to draft a bill by Dec. 13. The legislative session begins Feb. 3.
A group of Oklahoma women also launched a Facebook page called "Regulating HOME BIRTH in Oklahoma" to educate the public and start a discussion about regulation. The page has received more than 300 likes since its launch Tuesday.
The Oklahoma Midwives Alliance, the Midwives Society of Oklahoma and the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives Oklahoma State Chapter did not respond to email requests for comment. None of the organizations list phone numbers on their websites.
The organizations worked to block previous attempts to regulate out-of-hospital births.
'This isn't about politics'
Stanley, a former educator, said she decided to author legislation after learning that Lecye Doolen lost a baby during an attempted home birth. Doolen had been a student at the elementary school where Stanley taught.
"What guided me through my whole career is I always made decisions based on what's best for children," Stanley said. "This isn't about politics to me. This is about protecting babies and mothers."
Doolen's son, Shepherd, was delivered via emergency cesarean on Nov. 7, 2016, and died the next day. Doolen had hired then-nurse midwife Dawn Karlin for the planned home delivery, and the midwife's nursing license was later revoked in part due to her handling of the delivery.
Oklahoma licenses and regulates nurse midwives through the Board of Nursing. But because it does not regulate non-nurse midwives, Karlin was able to keep practicing. She removed the word "nurse" from her title, changed her business name and continues to deliver babies in the state.
Doolen's story was also detailed in GateHouse Media's investigation.
"I'm eternally grateful that people are understanding that our goal is to protect mothers and babies in the state of Oklahoma," Doolen said. "I don't want another mother to have to go what I went through, if it is avoidable."
As for Allen, he said his decision to spearhead legislation came after hearing about a constituent's traumatic out-of-hospital birth experience. Oklahoma mother Suzie Bigler's account of her botched home birth went viral after she posted her story on Facebook in August. Her baby survived.
"We've got to protect the mothers and the children from what happened over here," Allen said. "We've got to take care of the babies and mothers."
Bigler's midwife, Debra Disch, began delivering babies in Oklahoma after running into trouble for practicing without a license in Arkansas, which regulates non-nurse midwives. Bigler said she did not know about Disch's past troubles.
She now is calling on the state to regulate non-nurse midwives like Disch.
Beyond legislation
Oklahoma City midwives Dawn Karlin and Taryn Goodwin told GateHouse Media in October that they support regulation despite having opposed previous legislative attempts.
"Midwives should be able to practice to the full capacity of their scope and be part of an integrated system," Goodwin said. "I am looking forward to support (sic) well-thought-out laws and fair regulations relating to midwifery care. I have no opposition to that."
Goodwin refused, however, to answer questions about whether that legislation should include restrictions on deliveries such as those involving twins, breech babies or babies born vaginally after previous C-sections, all of which are against American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists — or ACOG — guidelines for home deliveries.
John Stanley, an Oklahoma City obstetrician and vice chairman of the Oklahoma Section of ACOG, said he plans to assist the legislators. He is unrelated to the lawmaker with the same last name.
I think legislation is really to help to get information and help prevent the problems that we're having now," Stanlely said.
But Stanley said legislation alone isn't enough.
"You still have to find a way to serve these women," Stanley said. "Knowing there's a large number of women that want the low intervention birthing experience puts the impetus on us to work with hospitals to find a way to offer that experience."

Re: Virtual, variable resistors, with saved presets recallable by MIDI

Dare I say the soldering is done?!
It's all closed up, and working great! During play, there's absolutely no buzzing or injected noise whatsoever. When the gain is turned up really loud (louder than I'll typically run it), there is some clicking when turning the Drive and Level knobs, but other than that, it is completely silent.
Now back to the software improvements. For my own sense of organization, here is the list of things I'm looking to improve in the code:
Maybe change POT readings to ABS function? Need to research more to know if it's worth it.
Instead of dividing by 4 to go from analog reading of 0-1023 to digipot value of 0-255, may change to >>2 if it uses less processor cycles
Move the following into EEPROM storage:
Array which stores preset values
MIDI Channel selection
Brightness selection
Active preset recalled, so it remembers when powered back on
Remove setting the Digi-POT variables to 0 upon power up, as the Digi-POTs have non-volitile memory and will remember
Add a menu which enables:
MIDI channel selection
Brightness selection
Possibly add an option for enabling MIDI expression pedal control over Drive or Level pot, with menu item for turning feature on, selecting which POT to control, and selecting which CC# to listen on
Make the preset number flash 3 times when a preset store function has completed
Add code comments to show EEPROM memory location where different items are stored (because I'll forget over time)
Add display item to show when the active values are different from what was recalled in the preset (light up a decimal point)
And, here is how it sits now:

I don't mean to keep spamming the forum here ... I'm just using this as my log ... and in case anyone is following, here is the latest code build (attached).
The code now has preset values, MIDI channel, display brightness and last active preset number stored in EEPROM. I also removed the arrays. This significantly decreased the compiled code size of course, and it loads much faster now. It went from 73% used down to 30% used.
I also made it so the Digi-POT values will not be updated until the POT's physical location is matched up with the currently applied values. After that has happened, real-time updates occur when turning the knobs
I've added a feature to display a decimal point if the currently applied Digi-POT value is different from the value recalled by the preset. Of course this only kicks on after the POT is actually controlling the Digi-POT (as stated in the item above). I've set the 1st character position decimal point to indicate a variance with the Level POT, and the 2nd place decimal point to indicate a variance with the Drive POT.
Upon power up, it now recalls the preset which was active when it was powered down. To do this, I had to use an EEPROM location to store the preset number when a preset save, or recall, happens. I used EEPROM.update for it though, so maybe it'll last a long time? But I'm not sure, seeing as I'll be changing presets quite a lot using this live.
I added a double flash to the display when a preset is saved, and a single flash when a preset is recalled.
And I added comments to the beginning to document EEPROM storage locations for everything.
I still want to add a menu feature, so I can adjust MIDI channel, display brightness, and possibly other things ... but for now, it's functional and usable on my pedal board like this
Question on menus: Is it a best practice to build a menu structure in a separate tab, and call it like a library? I'll have to Google building nested menus in IDE and see how folks are doing it.
Thanks again for the help, I really can't express my gratitude enough guys!

PS Vita Simulation Video Games
Video Games Encyclopedia by Gamepressure.com
A list of Released Simulation video games for PSV sorted by release date.
Simulation games. These titles put emphasis on simulating authentic (or fictional) actions in the most realistic manner possible. They allow the player e.g. to control civil (digger, crane, bus) or military vehicles (plane, tank, warship). Life simulation games (especially The Sims series) are very specific example of titles in this category, because they can simulate almost infinite number of aspects of human lives. more
Farming Simulator 18 (PSV)
Simulation 06 June 2017
Another installment in the annually released farming simulator series developed by GIANTS Software. This time, however, the creators decided to develop a game exclusively for handheld devices like PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS. In terms of mechanics, Farming Simulator 18 highly resembles the previous installments, especially the handheld version of Farming Simulator 16. The game sees the players running their farms in an attempt to make a profitable business out of it. To achieve this, the players have to take care of a number of things, such as soil and plant cultivation, harvesting and selling the crops, and finally the successive development of the farm. Farming Simulator 18 does not lack the series representative feature, namely a wide range of licensed agricultural machinery of the worlds top makers, which are available for the players to utilize while working in the field.
Organ Trail: Complete Edition (PSV)
Simulation 14 July 2016
A complete edition of an old school simulation game with RPG features. The title takes place in a world filled with zombies and the player's task is to survive. The game is a pastiche of the classic title The Oregon Trail which told the story of a group of settlers colonizing America. During the game, the player controls a group of survivors who travel through the USA in an old car. In order to survive, they must gather food and other useful items like medications and fuel. They must also regularly repair their vehicle. The game also contains fights with undead bosses. In addition to the basic game, Organ Trail: Complete Edition also contains Endless and Final Cut DLCs which expand the game with new features like new enemies, bosses and a cooperation mode. The game features old school, pixel graphics and takes the form of an education show that is teaching young kids how to survive during a zombie apocalypse.
Farming Simulator 16 (PSV)
Simulation 06 October 2015
Another installment of the farming simulation game series from GIANTS software. Contrary to most of the major entries in the franchise, Farming Simulator 16 was created solely with the PS Vita handheld console and mobile devices in mind. In the game, we traditionally assume the role of farm owner, and our task is to turn his possessions into a true agricultural empire. Achieving this requires us to sow and harvest, and then invest the money weve earned into the farms development as well as new vehicles and devices. The title features over 50 fully licensed agricultural machines of various type that we can personally drive while working in the field. Compared to its predecessor, the game offers new sorts of crops, but the biggest novelty is the introduction of forests, along with a pretty big set of hardware for felling and processing trees.
Farming Simulator 2014 (PSV)
Simulation 06 June 2014
The next installment of the series of agricultural simulators from the Giants Software studio. In production we play the role of a farmer who takes care of his farm. The player's tasks include dealing with animals, planting plants, harvesting crops and selling their products.

MetadataShow full item record
A prospective study was carried out in the City of Gweru in 1988 toexamine the relationship between age and protection afforded measles vaccinees by the measles vaccine. The age group 10 months to nine years accounted for 240 cases or 87 pc of the 276 measles cases reported in 1988. The disease had shifted towards older age groups with children aged 10 to 59 months accounting for 105 cases or 43,7 pc and those aged five to nine years accounting for 135 cases or 56,3 pc of the 240 measles cases reported in the age group 10 months to nine years. In all the sub-age groups of the age group 10 months to nine years i.e. 10 to 23 months, 24 to 35 months, 36 to 47 months etc. the proportion of vaccinated cases was more than that of unvaccinated cases and the incidence rates in the un vaccinated population were all higher than in the vaccinated population. A correlation of age and relative risk (relative risk was calculated for each sub-age group) showed a significant negative trend (correlation coefficient=-0,79; p = 0,012).

Movie Reviews
'A Hard Day's Night': A Pop Artifact That Still Crackles With Energy
This is FRESH AIR. The Beatles first reached America in February 1964. By the time their film "A Hard Day's Night" came out here on August 11th of that year, they had become an unprecedented phenomenon - world famous for their music, their personal exuberance and their screaming teenage fans. Richard Lester's film has just received a new digital restoration in 4K resolution and to honor its 50th birthday, it's being released in theaters and on disk. Our critic-at-large John Powers has seen the spruced up version and says it's easy to see why it became a cultural landmark.
JOHN POWERS, BYLINE: Back in 1964, movie audiences were treated to three hit musicals. "Mary Poppins" and "My Fair Lady won scads of Oscars. But it was the third that announced the future. And it did so from its opening chord.
THE BEATLES: (Singing) It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like dog.
POWERS: What followed from that cord is what we call the '60s. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of "A Hard Day's Night," there's a spectacular new restoration that you can now see in theaters in its Janus Films release or buy on DVD and Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection. The black and white photography is so gorgeous you'll swoon. The movie's not half bad either. It was directed by Richard Lester, a film marker as underrated as he was influential. Lester took what was designed to be a promo film for the Beatles and along with screenwriter Alun Owen, crammed it with ideas from the French New Wave and his own Slapstick short "The Running Jumping and Standing Still Film, which is on the DVD. The result is a pop artifact that still crackles with freshness and energy. In Lester's verite, hyper-kinetic approach to the musical sequences - and boy, are the song's good - you'll find the template for a million later music videos. The movie's title came from a malapropism by Ringo Starr that, in his paradoxical poetry, felt as inevitable as a folk saying. It fit perfectly a film that purported to capture a typical day in the life of The Beatles, who spend 87 minutes singing, clowning, hanging around a TV station and crucially fleeing hysterical fans. You see, this isn't just a movie about rock stars but about rock stars playing themselves in a movie that's riffing on rock stardom. Of course, even as the Beatlemaniacs sob and shriek, one of the movies conceits is that people over 30 don't get it. Here the four are joined in a train car by stuffy blimpish, mustachioed businessman who closes the window they've just opened and when they turn on the radio, clicks it off. Watching "A Hard Day's Night" today, our perceptions are shot through historical awareness. The Beatles now seem astonishingly innocent in their neat suits and ties and it's hard not to laugh at how the older characters harrumph at their long hair and cheekiness, for the boys are lovable mop tops - well-scrubbed, unprofane, decidedly non-threatening. They're so spiffy that in these days of hip-hop and piercings, parents might be delighted to have such nice young men for their sons. Yet the harrumphers weren't wrong. As that businessman on the train somehow grasped, The Beatles and their followers were taking over the cultural train. "A Hard Day's Night" brims with Marx Brothers' irreverence, if not anarchy. And like the brothers, each Beatle has a clear persona. John's the barbed, ironical one who carries himself like a pop genius. Paul's the handsome nice guy you wouldn't guess was a pop genius. George is the dark horse, the quite young one with secrets. And Ringo - the most popular back then - was the gentle, sad-eyed one. In hindsight, such personas almost predict their destinies. Even as Ringo is still having a laid-back good time into his 70s, Paul now revels in his living landmark status - he's now photographed hanging out with Warren Buffett. With his hit records, mysticism and humanitarian work, George would become the triumphant dark horse before dying, at 58, from cancer. As for John, if any of The Beatles was fated to be murdered, it was always him - he was the lightning rod. But all this would come later. A few months before "A Hard Day's Night" opened, The Beatles had landed in an America shattered by the Kennedy assassination not even three months earlier, an America yearning for something alive and optimistic. The band was the ideal antidote to such grief, for The Beatles themselves had risen from an even longer, deeper darkness, the shabby funk of a post-war, post-imperial Britain with a calcified establishment, a frustrated working class and little future to offer the young. In the unmistakable alchemy of their sound - and in their authentic laughter as they run from shrieking fans during the film's opening credits - The Beatles embodied the hope and vitality the world was looking for then and still loves to this day. Like Louis Armstrong, they created music that, even when sad, is bursting with joy. All those hard day's nights paid off, for more than any band I can think of, they captured the yeah-yeah-yeah of happiness.
