Letter sent when project proposals not submitted
Any student who fails to submit on time is in breach of a Regulation and will no longer be regarded as a Candidate for Part II of the Computer Science Tripos. The Chairman of Examiners will write to the appropriate Senior Tutor as follows:
Dear Senior Tutor, XXX has failed to submit a project proposal for Part II of the Computer Science Tripos.

(Reuters) - Wells Fargo Advisors, one of the biggest U.S. brokerage firms, said it has tapped company veteran David Kowach to take charge of its private client group, the company said Tuesday.
The group, which is the largest division of Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC.N) brokerage channel, includes nearly 11,000 advisers in standalone brokerage offices.
Kowach is replacing Jim Hays, who recently left the private client group to oversee a smaller group of brokers based at the bank's branches. Hays had run the private client group since 2005.
Kowach, who will report to Danny Ludeman, chief executive of Wells Fargo Advisors, began his career as a financial adviser two decades ago. Most recently he led the firm's business development group, where he was in charge of increasing financial adviser productivity, recruitment, retention, as well as national sales.
Wells Fargo advisers reached by Reuters Tuesday described Kowach as a well-liked insider who knows the ins and outs of the firm.
An adviser based in the Southeast, who asked not to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak to the press, said Kowach's biggest challenge will be to preserve Wells' regional feel while continuing to compete with the other large brokerage firms, including Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (MS.N) and Bank of America Corp's (BAC.N) Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. Both have larger adviser forces and more assets under management.
Many Wells advisers promote the firm as being focused on "Main Street," contrasting St. Louis-based brokerage with Wall Street-based financial companies.

Chiang Mai Climate & Weather
Chiang Mai has a tropical climate, but is cooler and less humid than most of Thailand. The city experiences monsoons: the southwest monsoon arrives from India at the end of May and lasts until November, with the heaviest downpours in August and September. Rain usually occurs in the late afternoon. Summer temperatures range from 73°F (23°C) to 98°F (37°C). Between November and May cool air blows in from China and northern Vietnam, bringing a dry season with mild days and balmy nights. Temperatures are at their lowest in December and January, dropping to about 59°F (15°C), and it is chilly enough to require a warm jacket at night, although temperatures can still reach 86°F (30°C) during the day.

Glad you got it resolved.
I run -current on my laptop (x220) and it works great.
use to update it with the latest snapshot every week
i download all the necessary files from an ftp mirror to
my /mnt/home/afdruiprek/upgrade folder
and cp bsd.rd to / and reboot bsd.rd and update, all has worked well untill now.
when it was time to install today it verifyed all files and installed bsd bsd.rd and bsd.mp
but when it was time for base63.tgz it says "id0 on /mnt: file system is full", which is true.
df -h shows (I use full disk encryption therefore sd1)
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd1a 1005M 1003m -48.4M 105% /mnt
when i installed the system from the start i choose auto partitioning.
When i boot the system normal i cant do anything, some things was probably owerwritten.
init : can´t exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Exec format error
When i try to change shell nothing hapens.
How can i make /mnt bigger (without damage everything else)? or what files under /mnt is it safe to remove to make room for the update.
du dosent work.
Best regards...
In a default installation, "/mnt" is an empty directory in the root filesystem "/". Its purpose is to be a mount point for removable media or other temporarily accessed filesystems, as described in the hier(8) man page.
In your environment, you appear to have used this directory for other purposes, since you have a "/mnt/home/..." whereas the default filesystem for user directories is "/home".
The root filesystem is designed to hold the second-stage bootloader (/boot), kernels (/bsd* files), configuration files (/etc), device nodes (/dev), a mount point used for root filesystem backup (/altroot), static binary programs (/bin, /sbin), and mount points to all the other filesystems. The automatic allocation, if used, varies depending on architecture and the size of the physical drive. On large drives, the size of the root filesystem will typically be limited to 1GB, as it is in your configuration. See the AUTOMATIC DISK ALLOCATION section in disklabel(8) for details.
Without seeing your complete df(1) output, I will be unable to provide you with any recommendations.
Last edited by jggimi; 1st June 2018 at 08:45 PM. Reason: clarity - and a bunch of typos
The reason why i didn't post the whole df is because i could not copy it from the laptop
and /mnt/home is because df was run from bsd.rd boot, normal boot docent work anymore
But here comes a hand written df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/rd0a 3.5M 3.2M 229k 94% / /dev/sd1a 1005M 1003m -48.4M 105% /mnt /dev/sd1k 95.0G 9.7G 80.5G 11% /mnt/home /dev/sd1d 3.9G 10.0k 3.7G 0% /mnt/tmp /dev/sd1f 2.0G 966M 946M 51% /mnt/usr /dev/sd1g 1005M 185M 769M 19% /mnt/usr/X11R6 /dev/sd1h 9.8G 1.3G 8.1G 14% /mnt/usr/local /dev/sd1j 5.9G 2.0k 5.6G 0% /mnt/usr/obj /dev/sd1i 2.0G 2.0k 1.9G 0% /mnt/usr/src /dev/sd1e 18.1G 17.5M 17.2G 0% /mnt/var
Last edited by ocicat; 2nd June 2018 at 03:35 AM. Reason: Please use [code] & [/code] tags when posting command output.
Thank you for sharing this. Now I understand the "/mnt" references in your first post. You were using the RAMDISK kernel after running the upgrade script.
You need to determine what file has filled the root filesystem.
The most common reason is a standard file in the /dev directory instead of a character or block special file (device node).
/dev should be very small.
$ du -sh /dev 34.0K /dev
# cd /mnt/dev
# export TERM=vt220
# ls -l | less
# rm file.I.accidentally.created.with.a.typo
In most cases, the offending file will be obvious.
Should the /dev directory be correct and small, then the other directories on the root filesystem may be investigated.
Last edited by jggimi; 1st June 2018 at 10:16 PM. Reason: formatting, clarity
I was making a bootable usb with dd earlier this week and guess what ?
an 918M file in /mnt/dev called sd2
Everything works fine now.

They were nearly the perfect advertisements: cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong, sweaty after a workout, or sitting, looking refreshed, or hoisting his bike on his back, with the tagline: "Tired of Being Tired?"
The ads, in wide circulation several years ago, instantly injected all the power of the Armstrong myth into the FRS Company, maker of FRS Energy beverages and supplements. These products, which include sports drinks and shots as well $20-a-bottle liquid concentrates and $18 packages of chews, contain quercetin, a compound derived from the skins of berries and grapes that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies indicate that quercetin improves athletic performance, and Armstrong was a big believer, an investor in FRS, and a member of its board of directors.
That is, until the doping allegations started to gain steam. FRS let its contract with Armstrong expire in 2012 and, after the Anti-Doping Association said he should be stripped of his titles and other sponsors abandoned him, Armstrong voluntarily left the FRS Board.
Did You Get A Second Stimulus Check Today? Here's Why
Trump Announces Executive Order Plan To Extend COVID-19 Economic Relief
Second Stimulus Package: Trump Didn't Issue Executive Order Today, Here Is What He Said About Extending Unemployment Benefits, Payroll Tax Cut, Eviction Moratorium And Student Loans
"It is a challenge," says Matt Kohler, the Chief Marketing Officer at FRS, of the Armstrong scandal. "The fact that you're calling me is indicative of that. But what I try to reinforce is that the way he found out about the product is a genuine story. It is a real story."
Kohler says Armstrong first found out about quercetin when it was being explored as a treatment for cancer patients and the cyclist was being treated for testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. He became a believer, used it in his workouts, and became a spokesperson for FRS.
Other athletes have signed up as spokespeople for FRS. They include Tim Tebow, a quarterback for the New York Jets, and Christie Rampone, the captain of the U.S. Soccer Team and Olympic Gold Medalist. A brand like PepsiCo's Gatorade sports drink can throw millions of dollars at endorsements, Kohler says, but he insists that athletes like Tebow only promote the product when they've become converts on their own. He says FRS found out about Tebow through a GNC store manager who reported that the football player used the product.
But the clinical evidence for quercetin – and FRS Energy – is decidedly mixed. Most studies are small, often including a handful or perhaps a few dozen patients. Some show dramatic effects for quercetin that make it look even better at enhancing athletes' strength and endurance than the only proven performance-enhancer, caffeine. Others show no effect at all.
Last year, Mindy Millard-Stafford, a researcher at Georgia Tech and former president of the American College of Sports Medicine, conducted a pooled analysis of available clinical trials that found that quercetin did result in a statistically significant increase in the maximum amount of oxygen the body can absorb – a measure of exercise capacity – and in sustained endurance performance. But the benefit was only half as big as that for caffeine. She and her colleagues said it was "between trivial and small" in an article for Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, a medical journal published by the ACSM.
Eric D.B. Goulet, a researcher at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, challenged the paper. It excluded a clinical trial it should have included and made a mathematical mistake. The net effect made quercetin look worse, but Goulet also protested that very few substances can claim to help the performance of even experienced athletes. That's exactly what quercetin researcher (and FRS consultant) Mark Davis says: that there is any benefit shown in studies is a sign that quercetin does enhance performance. It took years, he says, to show that caffeine had a performance-enhancing effect.
It's certainly true that there's more evidence for quercetin than for many other proprietary potions found in other energy drinks – there is genuine clinical and scientific excitement about the compound. That distinguishes them from POM Wonderful or Vitamin Water. But it would be great if instead of relying on the cult of personality around athletes to sell its products, FRS would pay a researcher like Davis to do studies big enough to really settle the argument – as a drug company would. Yes, that could cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. The largest clinical study in Millard-Stafford's analysis included only 39 patients.
Sure, the situation is less embarrassing for FRS than for, say, Amgen, which made the very drug Armstrong used to enhance his endurance and also sponsored a California tour in which he competed. That medicine, EPO, was a protein made in vats of mammalian cells; there's a real divide between EPO and a chemical found in apples and grapes. But it still may not pay for FRS if people think too deeply about the fuzzy line between supplements and drugs. And Armstrong's very presence on all those old FRS ads does exactly that.

Blundstone boots are marked with Australian sizing.
UK women's sizes convert to one size lower. Therefore a woman who wears a UK size 5, would wear a Blundstone size 4.
Blundstone half sizes are wider, not longer. For example, a size 10½ Blundstone would be a wider fitting size 10.
The Blundstone Australian size for men and kids are the same as UK sizing.
Please refer to the Size Conversion Table below.
This is a general guideline as foot structure and shape differs from individual to individual.
You can phone us for advice or refer to our store guide to find your nearest retailer.
Whilst our boots are designed to last, it is vital that you care for them and take action when they become dirty or scuffed to help prolong their life.
Our boots are either composed of leather, suede or canvas and each need specific care in order to keep them clean and scuff free.
Leather and suede are absorbent and susceptible to water damage, whilst canvas also attracts dirt.
There is currently no established industry standard for classifying a waterproof product. Leather boots are not able to be 100% waterproof but we make them as waterproof as the material will allow whilst still enabling for the foot to breathe. To enhance water resistance and durability apply a suitable protector before wearing and after each clean.
Follow our tips below on how to properly care for your Blundstone boots.
Most of our boots are composed of leather, here's how to clean them:

In their latest media splurge, THQ has started up "Survivor Stories" for Metro: Last Light. Now this isn't to be confused with the yearly WWE (also a THQ license) pay-per-view, Survivor Series, Survivor Stories will tell tales of folks' lives before and during the apocalypse. This first video takes time to hear what the preacher bellowing "Armageddon!" has to say about the beginning of the end and what his life is like now.
I always like it when promos take a slant like this, making it more "real". We get bombarded every day by million dollar hype, now we get to experience something more gritty and live. The live action trailers and videos THQ is doing for the game makes me want to play it even more. Hit the break and peep the first of many more videos featuring the survivors in the Metro.

I have drown in this picture the mirror symmetries that we think there are in fermions and bosons.
We consider "atomic fundamental particles" as fields created by the intersection of at least two entangled – intersected – gravitational fields that vary with equal or opposite phases.
When those entangled gravitational fields vary with opposite phases – if one expands the other one contracts and vice versa – the 4 created fields are fermions.
And when they vary with the same phase – they expand at the same time, and later they both contract – the 4 created fields are bosons.
In the picture above you can see the mirror symmetries, that are inverted symmetries called "mirror reflection" or "parity", that create the variation of those entangled gravitational fields.
In the picture above I have drown bosons with a different spatial location than fermions to see easily the similar symmetries that exists between them. Later I will put a picture with bosons drawn in the correct position. (Bosons don not move toward right and left as you can see in the picture above, they move toward up and down as yo could see in the that I will put below).
You can see in the picture above the red arrows that create the variation of the entangled gravitational fields: fermions in momentum 1 have exactly the same red arrows than bosons at momentum 1; and fermions at momentum 2 have the same red arrows that bosons have at momentum 2.
There is a spatial displacement toward the left side at momentum 1 in fermions and bosons, and there is a spatial displacement toward the right side in fermions and bosons at momentum 2.
In fermions, and momentum 1, the field 2 is an "electron". It have experienced a spatial displacement toward the left side (from right to left). This displacement and the direction of its motions toward the left side represent a negative charge.(For us electrical charges are spatial displacements).
At this momentum 1, the fermion field 4 has the same displacement toward the left side and it experiences the same forces of pressure and motions than fermion field 2 in this momentum 1. So here the field 4 has a mirror symmetry that is inverted with respect to the field 2.
At momentum 2 in fermions, there is the same mirror symmetry between field 2 and field 4, although now their directions are opposite with respect that they had at momentum 1. They act as antiparticles in different times.
So there is an inverted symmetry at the same time, and an opposite symmetry in different times.
Then, field 2 at momentum 2 is a positron with a positive "charge" with respect to the field 1 at momentum 1, and field 4 at momentum 2 is an inverted positron with respect field 2 at momentum 2.
We consider that field 4 here represents a dark matter, looking at it from the concave side of the entangled gravitational fields. Because field 4 is placed outside the gravitational fields, in their convex side. So we could not see its electromagnetic radiation if we are looking at it from the concave side, we will need to watch it from the convex gravitational side. The idea of dark mater is only a question of where are we looking at from.
In bosons, at momentum 1, the field 2 experiences the same pressure and with the same directions than the fermion-field-1 at momentum 1. This boson field 2 does not have the same volume than that fermion-field-1 at momentum 1. We could call "neutron" at the fermion-field-1 at momentum 1, and "proton" at fermion-field-3 at momentum 2). But the masses that we will mesure will be different, because although the boson-field-2 at momentum 1 has the same force of pressure on it than those mentioned fermions, it has much more volume than them.
Here there is a mirror symmetry between field 2 and field 4.
Field 4, in bosons at momentum 1 experiences the same decompression of forces that had fermion-field-3 at momentum 1 and fermion-field-1 at momentum 2. We can consider at these pressureless fermions field 3 and 1 as "neutrinos" and "antineutrinos".
The boson field 4 at momentum 1 do not have the same volume but it has the same lack of forces on it. So we could consider the boson-field-4 at momentum 1 as a dark neutrino. Because it is outside the gravitational curvatures.
At momentum 2, the lack of pressure in bosons is experienced by the field number 2. The field number 2 here is suffering a decay in its energy. But this energy is now placed at the other side of the symmetric central line that I have drown in the picture as you can see it. There is now a displacement toward the right side like we saw in fermions at momentum 2.
Now all the energy that had lost the boson-field-2 at momentum 2 is a dark energy placed on the boson field 4 at momentum 2, because it is placed outside of the gravitational curvatures, in the convex side of the gravitational fields. The symmetry that exists between field 2 and field 4 when it comes to bosons at momentum 2 is a mirror symmetry too. Theres is an inverted symmetry here. But it is a symmetry between matter and dark matter.
This dark boson field 4 at momentum acts as a dark proton because it has the same forces of pressure, and with the same direction that we saw in fermion-field-3 at momentum 2 (that we called proton).
We can play with all this terms and create all the relations that we want as we were playing with an equation with the security that we are saying the correct things.
For example, we could say that the mirror symmetry that exist in the weak interaction between an antineutrino and a dark proton is exactly the same that must exist between an antineutrino and a proton when it comes to fermions. So the difference between fermions and bosons in this particular case is the participation of dark matter in bosons.
But for us this kind of combinations are only different ways to say the same thing, focusing only in particular situations or momentums.
Bosons fields 1 and 3, have a mirror symmetry between them at momentum 1 and at momentum 2 as you can see too.
And there is an opposite symmetry between them at momentum 1 and and 2. Bosons field 1 and field 3 at momentum 2, have a mirror reflection symmetry between them and we consider them as an electron and an inverted el, when it comes to bosons, the inverted electron and positron are mirror matters, but they are not dark matters.
When it comes to fermions, inverted electrons and positrons are mirror dark matters with respect to electrons and positrons.
Now you can see below the same picture than before but with correct position of bosons, and you can see now that boson fields number 1 and 3 at momentum 1 and 2 do not have a right to left and left to right motions. They have up and to down and dow to up motions.
We consider that "weak interactions" take place when the entangled gravitational fields are expanded at the same time. So we are in a temporary an periodical moment (momentum 2) of bosons. But really weak interaction have their counterpart in the "dark strong interactions" that take place in the convex side of the entangled gravitational fields always, without exception, that occur a weak interaction.
What we call dark matter at field 4 will emit a dark radiation that will correspond with the radiation that we would observe if we sent an x ray against a diatomic material element. This emitted radiation will have a different or opposite direction with respect to the direction of the ray that we sent.
Dark matter is dark depending on the position that we observe it.
We could refer too to the different transformations that take place in each field numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 at each momentum.
It is easy, looking at the pictures above, to deduce how a positive energy decays into a negative energy in a field that experiences a decompression, and how this energies emerge in the opposite field that experiences a negative to positive energy, an increasing kinetic energy because of the increasing forces of pressure on it. This pictures explain the conservation of mass and energy principles as we have explained in other posts on this blog.
It could be interesting too look at the pictures and to see how the "mass" of each "fundamental particle" (each field number 1, 2, 3, and 4) is created by the other ones. So if we focused only in fields number 1, 2, 3, and 4, forgetting that they are only intersections and variations of the left and right entangled gravitational fields, we could say that fundamental particles interact between them, and that their periodical transformations affect to others.
In this sense, we could say by example that when it comes to fermions, the decompression of a proton transforms the proton into a neutrino with a negative energy (it is negative because the transformation occurs from the energy of proton – as consequence of the higher pressure force that there is on it, to a lack of energy in neutrino as a consequence of the lack of pressure forces on it). The negative energy of neutrino produces the displacement toward the left side of the electron, and the displacement toward the left side of its dark mirror counter-particle, a dark inverted electron. The movement of the electron and its dark mirror electron produce a compression that transforms the existent antineutrino into a neutron.
Later, the negative energy created by the decompression of the antineutrino creates the displacement toward the right side of the positron and its inverted counter-particle, the dark mirror positron. The movement of positron and its dark mirror positron creates a compression on the existent neutrino that is transformed because of this compression forces into a proton.
And this occurs periodically.
So it is possible to deduce that the mass of a fermionic neutron is created by an electron and a dark mirror electron. And a fermionic proton is created by a positron and a dark mirror positron.
When it comes to fermions electron and positron are its own antiparticle at different times. They are Majorana antiparticles in different times. The dark mirror electron is a Dirac antiparticle of the electron. And the dark mirror positron is a Dirac antiparticle of the positron.
So when it comes to fermions we could say that electrons are Majorana antiparticles of positrons at different times, and they are Dirac antiparticles of dark mirror electrons at the same time. In the same sense we could say positrons are Majorana antiparticles of electrons at different times, and they are Dirac antiparticles of dark mirror positrons at the same time.
In the case of bosons, when the higher energy photon is emitted and the decay of energy occurs, this energy appears in the fourth dimension as a dark energy of the dark mirror matter. This dark mirror energy is antigravitational because it is opposite to the direction of the gravitational fluxes that pressure on matters creating the gravitational fields.
So, we can say that when it comes to bosons, the weak interaction has its counterpart in a strong dark interaction that is the inverted reflection of the weak interaction. This strong dark mirror interaction is antigravitational.
These kind of statements sound very exotic, but they are the simple description of the same mechanism that you can see represented in the pictures above.
In the currently used terms, it could be said that in our opinion a neutron is formed, in the case of fermions, by a down quark and an up dark mirror quark. And a positron is formed in the case of fermions by a down quark and an up dark mirror quark.
Currently is not accepted that electrons are formed (from right to left) – when it comes to fermions – by an up quark and a down quark. Dark mirror electrons, are formed for us (from right to left) by a down dark quark and an up dark quark. Positrons are formed for us 8from left to right) by an up quark and a down quark, and dark mirror positrons are formed (from left to right) by a down dark quark and an up dark quark.
In the case of bosons, electrons and positrons are formed (from down to up) from a "electrically charged" button quark and a "electrically charged" top quark.
I will speak about this more extensively in the next post.
All things that I have commented in this posts are, in our opinion, aplicable at an astrophysical level too.
Finally, you could see at this picture that I have put in other posts, and think about what would be for you dark matter and what mirror matter, if you were located inside of one of those entangled fields.
For us, matter, at micro and macrocosmic level, has a spiral distribution. And there are infinite dimensions.

One could argue that Las Vegas has become the restaurant capital of the United States, with world famous chefs and glorious restaurants at every turn. But this is Las Vegas, so to come up with the dining experience that encompasses all that this city is there is one destination that you must visit and that is KOI, located inside of Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Food and service are at such a high standard in Las Vegas that you have to realize that I would not speak of KOI in such a superlative fashion if it was not a given that they two qualities were off the charts. So what is it about KOI that creates a dining experience that gives you everything you would want from a night out in Las Vegas? Once you take a seat, this will no longer be a question.
The first thing that you must do is bypass the dining room and head for the back room, a reservation and a request in advance should make this happen. Immediately you will notice the spectacular view of the Las Vegas strip with the focal point being the water show at the Bellagio.
There is nothing better than coming into a restaurant trying their signature dish and finding out that it lives up to the hype. Well almost nothing better, the one thing that is better is finding another dish that is even better than that signature dish. KOI in Las Vegas managed to do that while also providing an atmosphere that is fitting of Las Vegas. KOI is famous for its crispy rice that comes topped with spicy tuna or yellowtail tartare and deservedly so. While often imitated, the original is the one you must have, the combination of the fresh fish and the crunch of that rice is a flavor explosion. As good as the crispy rice is, the salmon carpaccio just might steal the evening. To find a salmon carpaccio is unique all by itself, but when you when you comibine the flavors of black truffle and citrus sauce you are left with a dish that takes your taste buds through a multitude of flavors with each bite.
The Japanese flavors are evident throughout the menu, but don't sell KOI short on the American dishes. If red meat is to your liking, two dishes will keep you coming back again and again to KOI. The Wasabi braised short ribs take the rib to a new level, giving that familar messy dish a bit of class to fit with the KOI setting. Not overwhelmed with sauce, but enough to let you know you are eating a rib, these fall apart, tender, mouth-watering ribs let you know they are a rib at first bite. The soy sesame glaze gives it a very rich flavor that hits you at each bite and the meat is more tender than any rib I have come in contact with. Speaking of tender, the Kobe style filet mignon is going to give the ribs a run for their money in that department. What you are going to get with this steak is simply the highest quaility meat, cooked to perfection and placed in front of you with asparagus and mushrooms. You might think a steak is a steak, that is until you take a bite, this filet almost melts in your mouth and you will know right away you aren't eating just any steak.
To pair with the many traditional Japanese dishes offered at KOI, you will find a lengthy menu filled with every type of sake that you could imagine. While a little sake is a must to keep with the cuisine there is one drink that is a must. The Strawberry Bellini Martini is one of those rare concoctions that allows you to run through a gamut of flavors. Prepared with Absolut Vodka, peach schnapps, champagne and fresh strawberries, you get one strong drink that is smooth, light and full of flavor, this one goes right to the top of my martini list.
Don't let you KOI experience end just because your dining experience comes to a conclusion, you can let your night continue at the KOI Ultra Lounge. Located inside of KOI, you will find all of the qualities of a Vegas nightclub while being on a much more intimate level.

East Bay Street During the 1920s
The Boat "Spindletop" being christened at Merrill-Stevens Dry Dock and Repair Company in 1946.
Inside the Red Star Market on the southeast corner of Bay and Ocean Streets during the 1930s. While industrial in use, the majority of companies along the waterfront also included retail storefronts for their products along Bay Street, creating a market-district-style atmosphere.
In the first half of the 20th century, the area that is known as East Bay Street today, was almost wholly industrial- and maritime- related. With the railroad and wharves paralleling a block south, along the riverfront, many firms took advantage of Bay Street's easy access to the St. Johns River.
The most important industry during this era was shipbuilding and repair. With the rise of free trade, deindustrialization, and a movement to clean up the downtown waterfront, many industries began to leave the area in the mid-20th century. Although a number of historic warehouses, factories and wharves were left and available for other uses, the majority have been demolished in the later half of the 20th century.

Unofficial Opinion 94-3
Legislative Counsel
Office of Legislative Counsel
The Legislative Services Committee does not have the authority to dispose of the items returned by the members of the General Assembly pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 45-7-4(a)(22).
On November 25, 1992, I issued an opinion stating that items purchased by legislators for the performance of duties as a member of the General Assembly, for which the legislators were reimbursed under O.C.G.A. § 45-7-4(a)(22), are property of the state and may not be retained by the legislators as personal property. You have now requested a further opinion as to the authority of the Legislative Services Committee to:
1. Adopt a depreciation schedule for items of personal property for which reimbursement under O.C.G.A. § 45-7-4(a)(22) has been paid;
2. Adopt a policy under which a member of the General Assembly may, upon leaving office, purchase an item for which reimbursement was previously paid upon payment by the member of its depreciated value; and
3. Adopt a policy under which a fully depreciated item for which reimbursement was previously paid may be retained by the member upon leaving office, either at no cost or upon payment of a reasonable salvage value.
Official Code of Georgia Annotated § 28-4-2(d) provides the Legislative Services Committee with the power to procure "supplies, materials, and equipment which are required jointly for the Senate and House of Representatives." However, the Committee is not granted, in this paragraph or any other paragraph in the Code Section, the express authority to dispose of supplies, materials, and equipment. Unless specifically authorized by the Georgia Constitution, "[t]he power to dispose of property belonging to the State is vested in the Legislature." Western Union Tel. Co. v. Western and Atl. R.R., 142 Ga. 532, 534 (1914). Given these limitations, it appears that the Legislative Services Committee does not have the authority to dispose of state property.
The General Assembly has empowered the Department of Administrative Services to dispose of surplus property. O.C.G.A. §§ 50-5-140 through 50-5-146. The Legislative Services Committee probably is not required to dispose of its surplus property in accordance with that provision under the rule that the legislative branch is not generally subject to the provisions pertaining to the executive branch unless a statute expressly states so. See Harrison Co. v. Code Revision Comm'n, 244 Ga. 325 (1979).
However, I see no impediment to the Committee transferring the property in its custody to the custody of the Department of Administrative Services for disposition pursuant to the DOAS authority. If that is done, or if new legislation is considered, the existing conflicts provisions should be kept in mind. Legislators, as part-time public officials with state-wide powers, are subject to the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 45-10-24 which provides that: "Except as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section, it shall be unlawful for any part-time public official who has state-wide powers . . . to transact any business with any agency."
To "'transact any business' means . . . to purchase surplus real or personal property." O.C.G.A. § 45-10-20 (12). However, the prohibition against public officials transacting business does not apply to:
(1) Any transaction made pursuant to sealed competitive bids; (2) Any transaction when the amount of a single transaction does not exceed $250.00 and when the aggregate of all such transactions does not exceed $9,000.00 per calendar year;
(3) Any transaction involving the lease of real property to or from any agency if such transaction has been approved by the State Properties Commission or the Space Management Division of the Department of Administrative Services; and
(4) Any transaction involving the purchase of surplus state property at a public auction.
O.C.G.A. § 45-10-24(b); see also 1983 Op. Att'y Gen. U83-63.
Therefore, it is my unofficial opinion that, under the current law, the Legislative Services Committee does not have the authority to dispose of the items purchased pursuant to the reimbursement provisions of O.C.G.A. § 45-7-4(a)(22).

Dylan Quick, the man accused of injuring 14 people in a stabbing at Lone Star College outside Houston, was schedule to appear at a bond hearing in court Thursday, but his attorney waived the appearance until Quick can undergo a psychological evaluation.
Quick was placed under suicide watch and remains in the Harris County Jail.
Defense attorney Jules Laird said it is still a mystery why 20-year-old Quick took a razor knife and began stabbing his classmates at Lone Star College Tuesday afternoon.
"He was able to talk to me," said Laird, "but he is also telling me things that need to be evaluated. That's why I'm looking to get the proper attention and care for him, and see if we can get to the bottom of what happened."
After his arrest, investigators said that Quick confessed to the attack and willingly answered their questions.
According to a search warrant affidavit, he told investigators during a videotaped interview that:
"He had been fantasizing about cutting off people's faces and wearing them as masks since he was eight years old. Mr. Quick stated that he also fantasized about necrophilia and cannibalism."
And that "he sharpened various instruments such as a hairbrush and pencils to use as weapons."
But Quick told investigators he carried out the stabbings with an Exacto knife and a scalpel.
In planning the attack, Quick told police he used his home computer to research mass stabbings, and that he had read numerous books about mass killings and serial murderers.
Investigators used the warrant to search Quick's home where he lives with his parents in northwest Houston.
Among numerous articles that were seized were:
- A Hannibal Lecter mask
- An animal dissection kit
- Video camera and laptop computer
They also seized several books, including:
- The Spartacus War
- The Book of Five Rings
- SudoKu
- Hit List
- Hitman
Quick is being held without bond on three counts of aggravated assault.
Psychiatrist Dr. Harvey Rosenstock aid Quick's alleged behavior signals the deep rage and total disrespect of other humans.
"When you take away the face of a human being, you are taking away that human being," said Rosenstock. "It is as if you are destroying, burning that face, ripping it off, cutting it off, and that is the image with the Lector mask."
Quick's attorney told KPRC-TV Houston he wants to get his client mentally evaluated as quickly as possible.

As most regular readers know, I spend a lot of my time writing about genealogy with a focus on Polish genealogy and in particular in the geographical areas surrounding my paternal grandparent's ancestral villages (Biechow & Pacanow in old wojewodztwa Kieleckie, now a part of SwietoKrzyskie woj.). Like most areas in and around Eastern /Central Europe the borders change … frequently. So today's blog article is about 1772 just before the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was partitioned amongst the neighboring empires (you know who you are/were, you Black Eagle Empires).
It is interesting to note that Pacanow was a much more important regional village in 1772. It was in fact, a deaconate, subordinate to the diocese of Krakow in the Gniezno Wojewodztwa. At that time, there were only two Wojewodztwo (Provinces): Gniezno in the west and Lwow (Lviv, Lemberg, Leopolis, the city of Lions in whatever language) in the east. Any other wojewodztwo were in the Lithuanian portion of the Commonwealth. So the civil/religious hierarchy of the time was: Poland->Gniezno->Krakow->Pacanow, which along with Opatowiec deaconate contained most of the villages this author writes about [you might be tempted to toss in Polaniec and Sandomierz too]. That area is shown in the map at the top. I do a lot of research for my family in the above map, west of Polaniec and south of Pinczow (the lower/left quadrant) in almost every parish north of the Vistula (Wisla) river I have located a record for someone in my family tree — you might say, the bones of Stanczyk's DNA are rooted here.
So let me enumerate the parishes from this 1772 map that are present in my genealogy:
Biechow & Pacanow (grandparents), Stopnica, Ksziaznice, Zborowek, Swiniary, Olesnica, Szczebrzusz, Beszowa, Opatowiec, Busko and probably another 8-9 other villages with a person here or there. I think Solec too, but I have not found that record yet. I also a few stray, unconnected family records from Szczucin (the only parish south of the Vistula … so far). Are these in your bones too? Drop me a line in the New Year and we can compare family trees.
By the way, this research is from the PGSA's CD-ROM, "The Latin Church in the Polish Commonwealth in 1772" [ISBN – 978-0-924207-12-9 ].

The Communist Party of China (CPC) and its leaders headed by President Hu Jintao are less nervous about the likely impact of memories of past events on China's Generation Next.
2 This has become evident from the observance of two important anniversaries in Beijing. The first was the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution, which overthrew one of the longest spells of autocratic rule in the world by the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and ushered in a republican Government, which gave way 38 years later to the one-party rule of the CPC.
3.It was a genuine democratic revolution which began with an armed uprising on October 10,1911 in the central city of Wuchang, part of present-day Wuhan, resulting in the fall of the Qing dynasty the next year. Since the CPC came to power in 1949, there has been less and less recall of the democratic revolution by the CPC and Governmental leadership lest the autocratic rule of the CPC be challenged by the people by taking inspiration from the struggle against the autocratic rule of the Qing dynasty.
4. In the light of the concerns of the leadership over the dangers of commemorating an event that led to the end of a long spell of autocratic rule of one kind, different from the autocratic rule of the CPC, many analysts were closely watching to see whether the present leadership would have the political courage and confidence to commemorate the event.
5.The priority given by the leadership to the observance in June last of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the CPC and the silence on the approaching 100th anniversary of the 1911 revolution made it appear that the CPC leadership still did not have the courage and confidence to celebrate an event that might remind China's GenNext that it has had other political role models in past history different from the models of the CPC.
6. It, therefore, came as a refreshing surprise that the CPC observed in public the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution at a function in Beijing on October 9 chaired by President Hu Jintao and attended, among others, by some of the past leaders of the CPC, including former President Jiang Zemin, the predecessor of Hu, who had disappeared from the public view ( but not from the social media networks) since his participation in the function held in June to mark the 90th anniversary of the CPC. His absence since then had given rise to feverish Net speculation that he was seriously ill or even dead.
7. In his keynote address as reported by the State-controlled Xinhua news agency, President Hu Jintao described the 1911 Revolution as "a thoroughly modern, national and democratic revolution" which shook the world and ushered in unprecedented social changes in China. He praised Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the 1911 revolution, as "a great national hero, a great patriot and a great leader of the Chinese democratic revolution". Hu added that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must be achieved by adhering to socialism with Chinese characteristics, with patriotism, and by upholding peace, development and cooperation. Hu said that the mainland and Taiwan should work together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and called for the peaceful reunification of China.
8. While celebrating the event and recalling the role of Sun Yat-sen in seeking to usher in democracy in China, the CPC leadership has sought to emphasise the continuity of the CPC rule by projecting the emergence of the CPC as a natural outcome of the 1911 Revolution and not a distortion of it.
9.Beijing-based dissident historian Shi Binhai has been quoted by Radio Free Asia, sponsored by the US State Department, as saying that Jiang's appearance at the function served as a reminder that the Communist Party's line on historical events, and on Taiwan, would remain unchanged.
10. Chinese political dissidents and human rights activists have alleged that while holding a strictly-controlled and CPC-sponsored celebration of the 1911 Revolution, the Chinese security agencies stepped up surveillance on suspected dissidents in the main cities of the country---particularly in Wuhan. They also closely monitored the Net due to apparent concerns that the GenNext might exploit the even to revive its attempts for a Jasmine Revolution in China for the restoration of the long-lost democracy.
11. Radio Free Asia has quoted veteran pro-democracy activist He Depu as saying as follows in Beijing: "It has been 100 years since the 1911 revolution, when they overthrew the Qing dynasty to build a democratic China. We have struggled all these years and we still haven't made that happen." Despite the strict surveillance of micro-blogs, some of them managed to post calls for a new democratic revolution in China.
12. The second important anniversary that has been observed not by the CPC or the Government, but by a group of non-Governmental and non-party activists is the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Gang of Four headed by the wife of Mao Zedong, which led to the rise of Deng Xiaoping with his policy of economic reforms.
13.The event held in Beijing on October 5,2011, was titled "Remembering the smashing of the Gang of Four, 35 Years On". It was reportedly organised by Hu Deping, son of late disgraced former Premier Hu Yaobang, whose funeral sparked the 1989 student movement. Participants included the son of Hua Guofeng, Mao's short-tenured designated successor, and the daughter of Li Xiannian, Hua's chief economic adviser.
14.Some of the participants allegedly called for a new Cultural Revolution to put an end to corruption and moral decay, but their call did not find majority support among the about 200 participants from the past. The majority view was that genuine democracy and the rule of law were the only ways of achieving these laudable objectives.
15. The observance of these two anniversaries---one on the initiative of the CPC itself and the other on that of some political remnants of the past without much political influence---- indicates a continuing confidence in the present leadership that it has the on-going debate on the need for political reforms to buttress the economic reforms firmly under control and that revival of memories of certain past events would not divert the debate in a direction not desired by the Party.
16. It also reflects the assessment of the present leadership that China's GenNext, while increasingly articulate and active in the Net in discussing new political ideas and models, would not create instability. China's GenNext has benefited from China's economic progress and would not like this to be jeopardised by destabilising political ideas and movements. ( 11-10-11)

These personal comments are being made, having reflected on the recent events, without me first reading any new comments since last night (or checking my email).
The exchanges in question with Issac have been brief, mostly cordial, and in my view somewhat inconclusive. Thus - contrary to what I may have implied last night (reacting in the heat of the moment to inflammatory and fictitious comments about me by another YEC who does not even have the guts to debate his opponents) - I do NOT consider that any 'victory' has so far been won. Not 'mine' (in any case it would be 'ours') and not his.
I do sympathise with what happened to one of Issac's posts. I doubt that Brian deleted it on purpose since I am not aware of that happening when previously other YECs (Marc Surtees, Jason Petersen, Tim Gilleand and others) have posted here, whether briefly or in Marc's case for some years. It is unfortunate that Issac apparently did not save his text and either cannot recall his main points or does not have the time to rewrite the material. It is also unfortunate that Brian (I did not study his explanation very closely because I am not a tecchie or highly computer literate sort of individual) does not appear to have a means to retrieve the text of the post that was lost.
I am sad that Issac has apparently quit the forum. I do not take that as any admission of defeat. Though I do think his decision was hasty, unnecessary and suggestive of insincerity. I am not lying when I say that I hope that he will come back - whether imminently or some way down the line if he wants to raise a new matter with us. He has not been banned and - the last time I looked - the two threads he started remained open. But the decision is Issac's to make. If he does not return in the short-term, I do not propose to start proclaiming that he 'ran away for no reason' since I understand the upset that losing a post for whatever reason on an open forum where you are the newcomer can be an upsetting experience and he appears to have had voices in his ear from the YEC camp telling him that it was 'deliberate' because we wanted 'rid' of Issac.

EDMONTON – The Catholic Women's League is most notable for its fidelity to the Church, Archbishop Richard Smith told a gala celebration marking the CWL's 100th anniversary.
"Your identity as Catholic informs all that you do and you are very public about that and unapologetic," Smith said.
The archbishop sung the praises of the CWL in a brief talk at the Feb. 11 event marking the kickoff of celebrations for the centennial of the league's founding in Edmonton. About 650 people attended the event at the Northlands EXPO Centre.
The league will have a series of events throughout the year, including hosting the national CWL convention in August, until the actual centennial in November.
Smith spoke of how he has watched the CWL since his mother became a charter member of the CWL council at St. Michael's Parish in Halifax.
"I watched the members step up to the plate and do whatever they could to serve the needs of the parish and the people in the community," he said. "I saw them at Mass and I saw them at service and in this way, they gave witness to me and to others of the inseparable link between the two."
Since then, he has served as spiritual advisor to CWL councils in parishes, at the diocesan and provincial levels and, finally after becoming a bishop, he spent five years as the national spiritual advisor to the league.
Catholicism, he said, is more than a set of beliefs, but is also a personal relationship of love and friendship with Jesus Christ.
"To be Catholic is to be convinced in every fibre of our being that there is nothing more beautiful than to know Jesus Christ."
Smith lauded the CWL for its consistent commitment to Church teaching and its willingness to bring that teaching to bear on issues in society.
"To be Catholic is to reach out in love and compassion to the needy," he said, noting that the first council was formed in Edmonton to meet the needs of immigrant women.
Gladys Brown of Fort Saskatchewan, the archdiocesan CWL president, told the gala of the efforts of the first league members to do spiritual and temporal good works.
They established a hostel, visited hospitals and ran a pre-employment service for immigrant women and girls, Brown noted.
Velma Harasen of Regina, the national president, said that Katherine Hughes and the other founders of the CWL "must be very proud of how the league has thrived and how the women of Edmonton, Alberta and Canada have carried the torch."
Work with marginalized
Today, the CWL continues to see work with immigrants, refugees, foreign workers and the marginalized as an important part of its mission, Harasen said.
Society has changed enormously over the past 100 years, she said. "But our role continues to be perhaps more important than ever in a modern-day secular society."

I'm not a big fan of dieting (who is?) but I do get a little thrill when I can find a way to make my favorite comfort foods a lot healthier. Whether it's lasagna or burgers, comfort foods are generally great for the soul but terrible for the waistline.
After a few experiments, I figured out how to make a fantastic batch of baked onion rings that are as crispy and satisfying as the fried variety. I also created a lighter version of a pizza Margherita, one of my go-to dishes at any Italian joint. My pizza doesn't have the heft of the original but the flavours are all there, and while it won't fill you up quite like regular pizza it'll squash that craving without the guilt.
Baked Onion Rings
2 onions, peeled and cut into thick slices (rings!)
4 tablespoons white flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 eggs, beaten
1.5 – 2 cups (just use a tea or coffee cup) of Japanese panko* breadcrumbs
Olive oil or plain oil spray
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Put the flour, paprika, garlic powder and sea salt into a large, Ziploc bag. In batches of a half-dozen or so, place the onion rings in the bag, close and shake so that the rings are lightly coated with the flour mixture.
Place the beaten eggs in a large shallow dish and toss the coated onion rings into the egg to give them a light coat. The flour coating has to go on first as otherwise the egg mixture will not stick to the onion.
Put the panko breadcrumbs into another large Ziploc bag. Again in batches, place the onion rings into the bag, close and shake until the rings are coated in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the rings on a large baking tray and lightly spray with the oil spray. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Serve with ketchup or your favorite sauce.
*Panko breadcrumbs are available at most Asian food markets and are essential for this recipe as they are super crispy!
Super Light Pizza Margherita
2 whole wheat flour tortillas
1 small jar of pizza sauce
A few slices of low-moisture, skim mozzarella
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
Handful of fresh basil leaves
Preheat oven to 200 C. In the meantime, heat up a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place one of the tortillas in the pan, watching it carefully so it does not burn. It's good to try to crisp up the tortillas a bit before they go into the oven. Flip it every minute or so, until it starts to get a little crisp – about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the other tortilla.
Put as much or as little pizza sauce on each tortilla as you like, divide up the slices of mozzarella between the two tortillas and add the tomato. Bake for 8 minutes on a large baking tray, remove from oven and add fresh basil. Slice and serve while hot.
