Configuring authorization.
The location of the cassandra.yaml file depends on the type of installation:
Installer-Services /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml Package installations /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml Installer-No Services install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml Tarball installations install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yamlThe location of the dse.yaml file depends on the type of installation: Installer-Services /etc/dse/dse.yaml Package installations /etc/dse/dse.yaml Installer-No Services install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml Tarball installations install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml
- Perform a rolling restart.
- Run a full repair of the system_auth and dse_auth keyspace.
- After the restarts are complete, use cqlsh with the default superuser login to setup the users, credentials, and permissions.
- Configure all client applications to send login credentials.
- To enable full authentication and authorization, turn off transitional mode. See Configuring authentication and Configuring authorization.
- After the setup is complete, perform another rolling restart.
- After the restarts have completed, remove the default superuser and create at least one new superuser.

Rumours of a recall is brewing for the HTC 7 Trophy, the troubled handset with the slow memory, variable screen and now bubbles under the screen.
Reports are now rolling in on XDA-Developers of multiple HTC 7 Trophys affected with this issue, which presents itself as discoloured areas under the screen. The video above by Levi Freeman illustrates the issue very well.
XDA-Developers member Enak reports:
I've been back to the Vodafone store today as they had received new stock. Both handsets we looked at had the same issue.
The manager at the store said that HTC were going to be issuing a recall and that they were aware of the problem.
Sounds like HTC's Windows Phone 7 handsets are particularly cursed, possibly due to poor quality control with HTC having its eye more on the Android than Windows Phone 7 ball.
Are any of our readers having this issue? Let us know below.

Healthcare Organization Using Lawson/Infor Delivers Payroll & Benefits Forms Online
Background A Healthcare organization contacted JAT in late 2015 with the desire to deliver W-2s, Pay Stubs and 1095-Cs to their employees through a single website as quickly as possible. They wanted a solution that could capture the employee consent required by IRS regulations for electronic delivery.
The Client was up and running with e-PRINTVIEW in just a few weeks with a 40% electronic delivery consent rate. The tax form distribution to employees was accomplished by IRS deadlines followed by the online delivery of Pay Stubs shortly after year end. Making this as easy as possible was JAT's familiarity with the Client's Lawson/Infor system and their output files for tax forms and pay stubs.
In addition to utilizing e-PRINTVIEW self-service, the Client has JAT print and mail W-2s and 1095-Cs to employees preferring paper forms. With a 40% consent rate, they recognize significant savings on printing and mailing compared to prior years.

A card from you with NO stamping! Hard to believe - yay for Jenna coming to the rescue. It's a gorgeous card too. William needs to emigrate here, where he would have a whole month extra reprieve and could range free till Christmas. That's one happy, fun card.

William is awfully cute Karen. Our Canadian Thanksgiving was a few weeks ago and we had "Tom" the turkey visit our house. He had the same wide-eyed innocent look that your little fellow has! :)
I love the way you used embossing to selectively highlight some elements. That adds the pizazz that my punch art never seems to have. Thanks for the idea!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God Bless!!

About the Constantine Area Foundation
The Constantine Area Community Foundation was formed in the late 1990's as the result of long term citizen vision, financial encouragement from the Kellogg Foundation and structural support and guidance from the then Sturgis Foundation. Over the past decade the "CACF" has provided a philanthropic vehicle for like minded citizens who wish to promote and support their community by "enhancing the quality of life for all people in the Constantine area". One of the most important purposes of our foundation is to introduce and promote philanthropy and community involvement with our children…tomorrow's community leaders. This is accomplished by promoting youth involvement in the Youth Advisory Council (YAC) where youth can experience first hand the purpose, responsibility and excitement of philanthropy.
Our grants support a wide variety of charitable causes including the arts, education, youth, community well being and recreation. Nearly one quarter of a million dollars has been returned to the Constantine community through grants since the inception of the CACF. This has been accomplished via underwriting projects, direct grants to organizations, the awarding of scholarships to students and through the generosity and vision of our supporters.
Grants from the funds of the CACF have supported a variety of community programs and projects including grants assisting Constantine High School; Constantine Middle School and Riverside Elementary School; Constantine Athletic Department; educational scholarships benefitting numerous Constantine students; village of Constantine; Constantine Food Pantry.
Funds of the Constantine Area Community Foundation
- Fund for Constantine - unrestricted fund supporting worthy charitable programs
- Constantine Area Youth Advisory Council Fund-supporting youth programs and projects in Constantine
- Constantine School Endowment Fund-providing scholarship assistance to Constantine students
- Jack Deller Memorial Scholarship-scholarship established in memory of Jack Deller for Constantine students

Structuring Leadership
This report sets out to identify and document models of distributed leadership with a focus on increasing organizational impact. Our interest was to find operating structures that address potential barriers to effectiveness, including the growing demands on executives running nonprofits, the current realities of a multigenerational workforce where older leaders will stay longer, and the expectations and work style of new generations coming into the workplace with a strong team orientation. This paper outlines the foundations, practices, and results of distributed leadership and suggests directions for further research. more

Whisper is an approximately 4-year-old white & fawn female who is not tattooed. She was found as a stray and came to GALT via Fort Worth Animal Care & Control. Her treatment for Ehrlichia has been completed successfully, she has finished her medical procedures, and she is ready to start her search for a forever home!
Whisper passed an initial cat test, however, after living with cats in a foster home she decided she would rather chase them. No kitties for Whisper.
Whisper is a perfect petite girl. She has instant love for everyone she meets. When we walk into the room her whippy tail starts going and a wiggly happy dance follows. Whisper is wonderful with other dogs but would also be perfectly content as an only pet with a house full of people. She walks beautifully on a leash, crates well, sleeps well, eats well, gives kisses, doesn't get on furniture though you do have to make sure there is nothing tasty sitting on the counter. Whisper enjoys sitting in the sun on cool days and is smart enough to seek out the shade on warmer days. This little girl has been a perfect foster and will definitely light up her forever family's life!Whisper's Foster Parents

Speed up your Android Device
Why your device is slow
This article will enable you to speed up your Android device. One of the main reasons that Android mobile devices get (sometimes excruciatingly) slow is that your device memory is used up. When that happens, the system doesn't provide running apps with enough memory to operate correctly. If apps on your device regularly lock up and become unresponsive or if it takes extremely long for an action to take effect, then you are probably out of memory. When this happens, it will also suck your battery down quicker.
Many low cost phones and tablets only have 16GB of memory. Although that sounds like a lot, the system takes the majority of that and if you have a lot of apps installed, they take several GB. The result is that you may only have less than 1GB for operations. (Check Settings/Storage for your actual values.) Now, you can easily speed up your Android device.

Wonderful campground -quiet, secluded, large sites and fabulous bathrooms/showers. My husband commented that in our 2 years of full-timing they were the best showers yet! AT&T cell service - 1 bar, used our Verizon air card for decent connection and Verizon cell service was pretty good. Mostly level spots. Sites included an in-ground fire pit and table. There is a small pond with a circulating waterfall in it that people could swim in with a very small beach. There is a game room with 2 pool tables, only one of which was working, air hockey and some other games. They also have a slightly covered area for groups with picnic tables. The campground host/maintenance guy was great. The office has interesting hours - opening at 10 but they were never in the office when we came by. They are a Good Sam park but when I called to make a reservation I was told they had no discounts and my credit card was charged the full rate. Upon our arrival there was a big Good Sam sign at the front of the park and when I asked for my discount one of the women at the desk told me I could only use that when I purchased my membership, the other woman corrected her and then the first got kind of indignant that I actually wanted that small amount ($2.70) refunded. We stayed an extra night and went in twice to try to pay and request the discount again to be credited but at our check out they had yet to run our credit card for the second night. I hope when they do run it they apply the $5.40 two night discount! We would definitely return. - Bill & Debby's Wild Ride

We stayed in this campground for one night. While it would probably be good for a longer stay as well, it was great for an overnight visit. The entrance is a little over a mile from the US-131 exit: very easy to get to. Since the time we arrived was later, the office was closed, but our reservation and site info was posted at the office door. And the owners checked on us later to make sure all was well.
Our site was very good size, as are most sites in the park. We were at a full hook-up site in what appeared to be a newer area so there were not trees and shade, but some of the electric/water sites had good shade. There were a lot of season lease sites but they appeared to be well maintained and many were in a separate area.
While we did not use it, the pool was beautiful and appeared to be quite new. The showers appeared to also to be quite new. The bathrooms, while older, were well maintained and clean. There are a number of recreational facilities available at the park (mini golf, rec room, basketball, etc.). We could only receive a few TV stations. The cell phone reception was good. Wi-fi worked well. The nearby town does not have a lot of businesses and we could not find any fast-food type restaurants close for a quick supper.
We recommend this campground and will stay here again when we are in the area. - RXA-ADM

We were not very impressed with this campground. The
restrooms were very small and not very clean. I was actually in the restrooms t two different times while they were being cleaned and could not believe what a bad job they were doing. We bought fire wood that was very wet and when we complained about it, were told that we must not know how to start a fire. They finally exchanged it for us and this wood was also wet. THe Amish baked goods were wonderful and the kids enjoyed the wagon ride. The pool was decent. The kids would have been very bored had it not been for the pool. We are not planning any trips back to this campground. - momma5kids

A very nice campground with wide roads and easy navigation. This place is a resort and has some really nice amenities for all ages. Site were spacious and well appointed and hook ups were good.

What a beautiful resort! The grounds are gorgeous, the sites are wide, and amenities are great. We had a delicious pizza at the General Store on the river. The prices for snack bar food there were very reasonable, and the food was good. The pool area is beautiful. We were on a grass site right next to 8 Mile Road, and it was loud. I would choose a concrete site or a a grass site further from the highway. - Gannonrv

This is a nice park. We chose it to be near our friends that live nearby. The sites are grassy and mostly level; it was soft the week we were there due to the recent rains. No pets are allowed which was fine for us. The park is mostly a seasonal park that gets busy on Thursday and lasts until late on Sunday. Monday-Wednesday the park is very quiet. The restroom/shower facility near our site needs updating but was adequate. The park has W/E only but there is a dump location as you leave. We found the park filled with friendly families that know each other and have been coming for years. We kayaked and fished the river - caught enough fish for lunch. We would visit again. Be prepared for little if any Verizon signal, and we could not locate our satellite signal. We did receive a few channels on our antennae. Good Sam's discount. You must pay for a county pass either a daily fee or season fee to help the county maintain the park,so this is added to your bill. - westie0506

We are currently here for the first time and have a seasonal rate. Even after devastating damage from a storm Oct 2018, the park is manicured , most areas have green grass except where trees were cleaned up. The sites are wide and if anyone can't miss the posts they have a problem driving. A previous poster indicated no playground. They do have a slide, swingsets, horseshoes, volleyball pit, basketball court, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, the White Pine Trail goes right by it so you can walk, job, bike for miles in either direction on a paved path. There are other trails also. Fire pits and picnic table at each site. Staff has been wonderful. Clean bathhouse/showers, a pavilion and 3 camping cabins available to rent. No problem with our 50 amp elect, water pressure is good and sewer connection exactly as we expected. There is only 1 section with sewer available but there is also a dump station. The park did lose many trees in the storm, but there are still shady areas throughout. Would have given a 9 or 10 if roads were a little wider and sites has gravel,asphalt or cement pads. - User2260
Jul 2018 - $33.00
Two showers each for men and women that barely have water pressure, no grass dirt dusty camp sites if you can get your camper in your site trees crowd the site entrance, fire pits in the worst spot in the site, water hookups and electric hookup to where you have to use every inch of your electric cord and water hose, no playground for the kids. - Chuck morey
Jun 2013 - $32.00
A Hidden Gem!! Wonderful place to camp. The campground staff was very friendly and always ready to help in any way. Campground host was awesome! The lots were fairly large and were shaded. The area was quiet. We would definitely camp there again! - User3075

Duvenhage lyssavirus
|Duvenhage virus (DUVV)
|Virus classification
Group V ((−)ssRNA)
Duvenhage lyssavirus
Duvenhage virus (DUVV) is a member of the genus Lyssavirus, which also contains the rabies virus. The virus was discovered in 1970, when a South African farmer (after whom the virus is named) died of a rabies-like encephalitic illness, after being bitten by a bat.[1] In 2006, Duvenhage virus claimed a second victim, when a man was scratched by a bat in North West Province, South Africa, 80 km from the 1970 infection.[2] He developed a rabies-like illness 27 days after the bat encounter, and died 14 days after the onset of illness. A 34-year-old woman who died in Amsterdam on December 8, 2007 was the third recorded fatality. She had been scratched on the nose by a small bat while travelling through Kenya in October 2007, and was admitted to hospital four weeks later with rabies-like symptoms.[3]
Microbats are believed to be the natural reservoir of Duvenhage virus. It has been isolated twice from insectivorous bats, in 1981 from Miniopterus schreibersi, and in 1986 from Nycteris thebaica,[2] and the virus is closely related to another bat-associated lyssavirus endemic to Africa, Lagos bat virus.

Lee Konitz had to cancel a gig (at Boston's Regattabar), but he seems to be on the way to recovery. The lastest news I have is Frank Kimbrough's comment here. I certainly hope Lee will hang in there. It seems Konitz caught a pneumonia. Actually, he's scheduled to play Birdland from tonight through to Sunday night. I certainly hope he's well again and will play! Any news and reports (and concert captures, too!) are most welcome!
Lee's voice is one of the most personal ones on alto sax ever, dry, witty, and what I admire most is him being a totally non-licks player, always inventing new lines on the spot, no matter what old chestnut (or Tristano favourite) he happens to play.
I was also fortunate enough to see him live once, about ten years back, when he was touring with the "Three Guys" (Konitz-Swallow-Motian). He played with no amplification, no mic, no nothing, while Motian (whom I only knew from Bill Evans' trio back then and expected a soft, melodic colourist...) happily bashed away. Yet Lee's sound and presence was immense and powerful, even though his tone was a delicate as always... (stories about Prez soaring away on top of the Basie band come to memory).
Here, Lee's mates are Bill Frisell, Paul Bley (an on-and-off collaborator for a while), as well as the great Han Bennink. Frisell, btw, has appeared on what was one of my favourite jazz albums for a long time, Angel Song, with Konitz, Kenny Wheeler and Dave Holland. Konitz sounds warm and full-toned in that setting - I remember the recording as being exceptionally warm and intimate, not quite the rule with ECM.
Here's a short write-up about Lee, on jazz.com
Please note that the folder is named wrongly - this is from the 2000 Earshot festival (billed as "Bill Frisell w/Konitz, Bley, Peacock"). The files you'll download are erroneously named 1990!
Finally, please help filling the gaps in the setlist if you know more than I do!

It will soon be birthday central 'round these here parts. Daisy turns three on July 3, and Caleb turns 1 on July 2 so we're throwing a par-tay on July 4 with cake, presents, a jumper castle thingie (hope there's no weight limit) and maybe even a pony.
Hey, this is Wyoming - there are people in the family who own ponies ya' know. Of course Paul is allergic to horses and most likely, his eyes would swell shut and he wouldn't be able to breathe if we have a pony, but aren't you supposed to make sacrifices for your children? ;)
We are inviting close to 50 people... thank goodness this bash will be held mostly outdoors. In addition, we've planned a small party each day for the Janney kids so they each will still get their own special day. I can't wait to see Caleb devour his first birthday cake. Daisy wasn't crazy about her first cake, we had to sort of encourage her to get in there and play... I think Caleb will be ready to rock and roll.
I can't believe how fast time flies.
Last night, I was laying with Daisy watching Elmo (how I have grown to dislike that furry, red muppet) and I started thinking about everything she went through in the beginning. As she sat and laughed with Elmo about sharing bananas with Dorothy the fish (apparently bananas are a large portion of a gold fishes' diet) I remembered back to that tiny, little baby in her isolette wearing "scuba gear," aka cpap. I thought about how she used to softly yawn, her big eyeballs in that sweet face and the day we finally brought her home, sitting on our couch in the living room and thinking, "holy crap, now what?"
What an AMAZING little girl we have, ladies and gentleman. Breath taking, spectacular and literally death-defying.
Just as I was tearing up a little thinking back, Daisy looked at me and belched. Not burped, belched. She had been sucking down a HUGE glass of "appa juice" through a straw and apparently she sucked down a bunch of air as well.
Life is funny like that I guess. Just when you're ready to cry about the hard stuff, your three year old belches in your face and you realize, it's all good.
Caleb is equally amazing and stupendous - I love my big boy. He's SO funny and sweet and honestly, everything you could want in a little boy. When I think about his beginning I am equally as moved, remembering how much he and I went through while he was in my belly. The endless stress tests, the bed rest, the blood work, that stinkin' orange jug, the heart burn, the vomiting, the swelling and the endless prayers said that please God, he not come early.
I think back and I smile because you know what, it's all worth it. Every last bit of it... worth it. Of course if you had asked me if it was worth it while I was throwing up every morning and I was crazy and pregnant I most likely would have kicked you, but really, it is.
I wasn't sure where this blog was going to go today - I am feeling very reflective and mushy as my childrens' birthdays come closer and my own birthday comes to pass next week. I'm going to be 35!!! Wow, when I was little I thought 30 seemed SOOOOOOOOOOOOO old.
Thanks for checking in with the Janney's!

Chai Lifeline Brings Chanukah to 10,000 Across the Globe
There were latkes and sufganiyot, desserts and delightful gifts at every Chai Lifeline Chanukah event this year. But what people came for – and found in abundance – were the distinctive Chai Lifeline friendship, camaraderie and support that will help them cope with the crises and challenges of living with illness or loss in their homes.
"Chanukah is a joyful season that we all look forward to," explained Rabbi Simcha Scholar, the organization's international executive vice president. "Unfortunately, there are myriad situations that affect the joy that families expect to experience. Some children will be in the hospital, which means that their siblings will be forced to celebrate without them. Others will be ill, but at home. Some will be saddened by the illness or loss of a sibling or parent. Our mission this time of year is to make sure that no child is forgotten, and every child's celebration is enhanced."
The organization goes all out this time of year. Chai Lifeline offices around the globe put their distinctive spin on the holiday. read full story
1100 Show Support for Chai Lifeline at 2017 Annual Gala
The 2017 Annual Gala celebrating the work of Chai Lifeline internationally was an evening of laughter and tears, amazement and awe.
Master Mentalist Lior Suchard astounded us with his abilities. At one point, two members of our audience multiplied several numbers important only to them. When they revealed the number on their cellphone, he revealed the number on a huge scroll. when the scroll was turned upside down, the numbers spelled out "Chai Lifeline."
We were brought to tears by the hauntingly beautiful "We Are Strong: The Faces of Hope," written by Malky Storch, Bracha Goldstein and Miriam Storch. They sang the song to their beloved sister, Hudis, as she lay dying. It was sung publicly for the first time by 8th Day at the Gala. read full story

Ask the Doctor: Talking to Children About a Cancer Diagnosis
Dr. Cheryl Book, Director of Family and Clinical Services, answers parents' questions about how to break the news that someone a child knows has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
Unfortunately, it is quite probable that most children will know someone who is diagnosed with cancer during their childhoods. It could be a friend or teacher, a neighbor or a family member. It might be someone on their periphery, or someone close to them. Your child will have questions and will look to you for answers. The following pointers may make a difficult conversation easier. read full story
Then…and Now
When I was two years old, I was diagnosed with cancer and Chai Lifeline changed my life! They were always there for me when I needed someone. Camp Simcha changed my life and I made so many friends there. I still speak to them from this day! When I grow up, I want to be an American Sign Language teacher to help kids who are deaf. Thank you Chai Lifeline!

Former Equality Virginia Leader IndictedNov 24, 2008
The Washington Post reported late last week that Joe Price, an attorney and former chairman of the board of Equality Virginia, was indicted on obstruction of justice charges surrounding a murder that took place in Price's home in 2006. (Read The Post's account of the indictment, by clicking here.) What makes this information relevant to all Virginians is that Price is currently the Virginia attorney representing Janet Jenkins who is seeking full custody of Isabella Miller, the small child caught in the custody dispute between Jenkins and her former partner Lisa Miller. The case has extraordinary implications not only for little Isabella, but for Virginia's marriage amendment and the future of family law.
Not surprisingly, The Post makes no mention in its article of Price's longtime affiliation with the commonwealth's largest homosexual rights group, or his involvement with one of the most important legal cases regarding family law in the nation.
The Family Foundation first heard rumors of Price's involvement in the August 2006 crime during the marriage amendment campaign that fall. Because there were no mainstream media stories that verified the situation we decided that raising awareness of the case during the amendment campaign would have detracted from the effort to pass the amendment.
It will be interesting to see if Price continues to represent Jenkins in the high profile custody case while he is under indictment, or if anyone in the mainstream media will ever report all the facts about the Price situation.

If our goal is to reduce the production of CO2 and the other greenhouse gasses driving climate change, then we have a very long way to go.
Reporting from London, National Public Radio attended the meeting of The International Energy Agency where energy managers were warned they were falling far behind meeting targets to wean the world from dirty energy production. The radio network commented that: Nations are nowhere near being on track to avert significant climate change in the coming decades.
This is definitely not good news particularly where carbon-less producing alternatives are becoming available. Flexible solar cells based on photonics, the combination of electrical engineering with bio-polymers, have been demonstrated and are far less expensive than conventional solar photovoltaic cells based on solid silicon.

Hopefully, more steam will be applied to get down the road towards reaching practical and cleaner energy alternatives. The other path leads off a cliff.

It's been used to good effect in films like The Valiant Ones (King Hu, 1975) and Heroes of the East (Lau Kar-Leung, 1979), but the unqualified vilification of the Japanese also motivates films like the spectacularly silly Ninja: The Final Duel (Robert Tai, 1986) and the spectacularly bad Great General (Ting Chung, 1978), a movie so bad that I've owned it for years without ever making it through more than thirty minutes of its ugly blandness. Needless to say, the disparity between quality and crap gets pretty wide between movies with this plot/theme.
Gam Sing-Yan's 1971 film, Duel with Samurai, deserves credit for being one of the earlier films with this plot, following The Chinese Boxer (Jimmy Wang Yu, 1970) but released before the most widely seen example of the Chinese-vs.-Japanese plot, Fists of Fury. In Duel with Samurai, a ronin played by Chan Hung Lit shows up more or less unexpectedly in China and starts killing off the usual assortment of kung fu movie stock characters. In fact, the first thirty minutes consists of nothing more than Chan Hung Lit in a kimono stabbing and slashing people in traditional Chinese costumes and then doing his best evil Japanese laugh, a few times helped by his sister (Kong Ching-Ha) who is a feisty little kunoichi with disappearing/reappearing jump cut magic. We don't even see the hero played by Kong Ban until about fifteen minutes into the movie, at which point it settles into a more routine training, dueling, and double-crossing affair.
While watching Duel with Samurai, I couldn't help but think of Duel of the Seven Tigers (Richard Yeung, 1979), mostly because they each feature the same anti-Japanese premise and a protagonist that learns multiple special techniques in order to defeat the invader. After eight years of trial and error, it's clear that the latter boasts more intricate choreography, and that the highly trained and skilled martial artists like Phillip Ko Fei, Cliff Lok, Sharon Yeung Pan-Pan are more able to perform such choreography than Kong Ban, Chan Hung Lit, and Kong Ching-Ha. Duel with Samurai frequently undercuts its marginally credible fight scenes with wire work and practical effects that feel unusually out of place for such a flick. But at least it does the good deed of including some female nudity, courtesy of Kong Ching-Ha's body double.
If anything, it's interesting to see just how little changed in Hong Kong movies of this type. The Chinese women (represented here by Lee Shu, a generally agreeable actress playing a regrettably boring character) in such stories are almost inhumanly chaste, the Japanese women are sluts. Need proof? Take a look at Chang Cheh's first take on this theme in Chinese Super Ninjas, where the only woman present in the entire movie is a kunoichi spy who uses her sexuality to distract one hero, later throwing herself at his brother who kills her without much in the way of emotion.
The costuming, the settings, the actors, and the production/technical methods might be considerably different, but the heart, and one assumes the purpose of such movies remain largely the same. They provide cultural revenge for the Chinese against the Japanese for atrocities that remain very fresh in the minds of many Chinese people, just as the acts of the Germans in the 20th century have not escaped the memories of many in the Occidental entertainment world. There is possibly something cathartic in seeing a Chinese hero destroy the icon of Japanese warrior culture after said icon heaps tremendous abuse upon the Chinese people with whom he comes into contact -- the Chinese hero getting revenge that those genuinely victimized by Japanese military in recent history were denied.
Granted, it's Chan Hung Lit's angry, self-centered ronin who comes off as a badass. I don't think that the audiences in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China much cared, though.
It reminds me of Stephen Sommers' recent G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, in which the most competent members of an international military force funded and founded by the USA are all foreigners, yet the annoying American military guys save the day through some combination of luck/deus ex machina/confusing lapse of internal logic/manifest destiny. The flag waving doesn't make sense, but it doesn't need to.
As an early seventies sword flick, Duel with Samurai is passable. The fighting is decent, and it doesn't wear out its welcome. If you like such movies, you'll like this one well enough. There are people who will watch this one just because of its relative obscurity, but they should occupy themselves with the search for the director Gam Sing-Yan's more obscure and wacky movies, like Fairy, Fox and Ghost (1970) and Sea Gods and Ghosts (1978) which are infamously strange fantasy kung fu films.

On Wednesday, October 5, 2016, the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores) hosted a Mental Health Strategic Planning Event.
The goal in hosting the event was to bring together administrative and clinical decision makers from health service providers from across the LHIN to add their expertise to the ongoing evolution of mental health care in the Central East LHIN, and to have an important conversation on how to take our shared accountability for mental health care to the next level through the development of a regional mental health system.
Over 80 representatives from hospitals, the Community Care Access Centre, community support services, community mental health and addiction agencies, and long-term care, including CEOs/Executive Directors, clinical leaders, senior front-line managers and allied health professionals participated in this event, and reviewed the LHIN's ongoing focus on Mental Health and Addictions.
At the event the LHIN announced its intention to ask Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Science (Ontario Shores) to take on a collaborative leadership role, working with its Health Service Provider partners and the LHIN, to facilitate the development and implementation of a regional mental health system focused on improving performance and achieving the system's shared Mental Health targets as captured in the LHIN's IHSP 4 strategic aim. A similar ask was made of Lakeridge Health to take on a collaborative leadership role with its peers around strengthening the system of care to support people living with an addiction to help address the LHIN's Addictions performance target. Both lead agencies were asked to work collaboratively to advance these complementary and intertwined systems.
The Central East LHIN (acting in concert with Ontario Shores and Lakeridge Health) engaged Deloitte to review the current state of Mental Health and Addiction care, examine best practices, and explore opportunities for tangible system improvement in service delivery.

George William Brown (October 13, 1812 – September 8, 1890) was an American politician, judge and academic. He was mayor of Baltimore from 1860 to 1861, professor in University of Maryland School of Law, and 2nd Chief Judge and Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. He was founder and president of the Bar Association of Baltimore City and the Library Company of the Baltimore Bar.
Brown was admitted to the bar in 1834.[1] Brown was a founder of the Library Company of the Baltimore Bar (1840) and from 1861 to 1874, he was its president. He was a founder of the Maryland Historical Society in 1844.[1] The first digest of Maryland Court of Appeals decisions was compiled with his assistance and published in 1849.[1] Brown was mayor of Baltimore, Maryland from 1860 to 1861 and a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Baltimore in 1867. From 1871 to 1873, he was a University of Maryland School of Law professor from 1871 to 1873. He was elected in 1872 to serve as 2nd Chief Judge, Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, a position he held from 1873 to 1888.[1] He was founder (1880) and 11th president of the Bar Association of Baltimore City from 1889-1890.[1]
Pratt Street Riot[edit]
Brown played an important role in controlling the Pratt Street Riot, where the first bloodshed of the Civil War occurred, on April 19, 1861. During the riot, Brown accompanied a column of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment through the streets. When the column he was leading was assailed by the mob, "the mayor's patience was soon exhausted, and he seized a musket from the hands of one of the men and killed a man therewith."[2] Immediately following the Riot, Baltimore saw much lawlessness, as citizens destroyed the offices of pro-Union German newspapers and looted shops in search of guns and other weapons. Mayor Brown and Maryland businessmen visited the White House to urge President Abraham Lincoln to reroute Union troops around Baltimore city to Annapolis to avoid further confrontations that they felt would result from additional troops passing through the city.
In the few days following the Pratt Street Riot, Governor Hicks likely assented to Mayor Brown's decision to dispatch the Maryland militiamen to destroy the railroad bridges over the rivers north of the city, to prevent more troops from passing through Baltimore. This was an act both Hicks and Brown would later deny—though Isaac R. Trimble, commanding Baltimore militia companies immediately following the Riot—later claimed that Brown authorized destruction of the railroad bridges, which may explain Brown's later arrest and imprisonment by federal authorities. Shortly thereafter, a Maryland militia captain and Baltimore County farmer, John Merryman, was arrested, held at Fort McHenry and later denied a writ of habeas corpus, on grounds that President Lincoln had suspended the writ (but only along rail lines in Maryland). This arrest sparked the case of Ex parte Merryman.
President Lincoln agreed to reroute Union troops around Baltimore to Annapolis, so they could then travel to Washington. Northern troops (state militia companies) were able to arrive in Washington, thus avoiding further bloodshed in Baltimore.
On May 13, 1861, the Union army entered Baltimore, occupied the city, and declared martial law. Mayor Brown, the city council, and the police commissioner, who were all pro-Confederate,[citation needed] were arrested and imprisoned at Fort McHenry[1] for the balance of the war. Francis Key Howard, the grandson of Francis Scott Key was also made a prisoner.
Later life[edit]
Almost three years before he died, Brown wrote his memoir. In it, he referred to Quaker Johns Hopkins as a "wealthy Union man" and a member of a committee of bankers who gave $500,000 to the city of Baltimore after the first blood in the Civil War was shed there. Hopkins selected Brown as one of the trustees of the university (but not of the hospital) who would oversee the construction and founding of the institutions now known as the Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Florida Panthers
Florida Panthers goalie Tim Thomas questionable for game vs. Capitals
The Florida Panthers will host John Vanbiesbrouck and hand out thousands of bobbleheads (somewhat) in his likeness Friday night.
The Beezer may just need to suit up.
Tim Thomas, Florida's current starting goalie, left practice early Thursday and didn't return.
Coach Peter Horachek said he didn't immediately know what Thomas' status was for Friday's game against the Capitals.
If Thomas is unavailable, Jacob Markstrom would be recalled from AHL San Antonio — the team is in Charlotte, N.C. — and possibly play against Washington.
Backup Scott Clemmensen played well in Florida's 3-2 shootout loss to the host Capitals on Nov. 2 but said Thursday he had not been told anything.
"I don't know what the issue was, whether it was equipment or it was him," Horachek said of Thomas. "He just said he had to go. … That's where we are."
Thomas has missed time on two separate occasions this season with what is thought to be groin injuries. Thomas missed four games when he first got hurt in Florida's third game of the season in Philadelphia on Oct. 8, then missed six games when he got hurt on Oct. 22.
Thomas has started 14 of the past 15 games since his return Nov. 9 at Ottawa and has nine of Florida's 10 wins this season.
Markstrom got the other win in Florida's home opener against Pittsburgh.
• It doesn't appear that center Nick Bjugstad is going anywhere, yet Horachek hasn't told him to find a permanent living arrangement. Bjugstad is still living at the "vacation village" where the Panthers often house players temporarily.
"It's like an apartment," Bjugstad said. "I'm fine with it."
Bjugstad was thought to start the season in the minors but after missing all of training camp and the first six games with a concussion, started the season with the Panthers on Oct. 15.
Bjugstad, 21, has five goals and 12 points in 26 games this season. His goal off Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk and Jimmy Howard on Tuesday was one of the Panthers' best this season.
"I would say he's pretty secure right now, but no one is totally ever secure," Horachek said. "Even if you tell a guy to get a place, that doesn't guarantee anything. But he's doing a pretty good job."
• Vanbiesbrouck will be the first former player honored with a bobblehead as the team celebrates its 20th anniversary season.
"It's hard to believe time goes by so fast," said Vanbiesbrouck, who played for Florida from 1993-98.
Florida will have six such giveaways this season, with Pavel Bure (Jan. 24), Thomas (March 9), GM Dale Tallon (March 14) and Scott Mellanby (March 16) also honored.
Brian Skrudland, the team's first captain who is currently an assistant coach, said he's looking forward to his first bobblehead. That will be the final such giveaway of the season April 4.
"If they wanted to make it like me, they would make the mouth move and not just the head," Skrudland joked. "Anytime you get recognized like this is an honor. I don't care if it's a bobblehead or a beer label."

GEORGETOWN, KENTUCKY, (February 8, 2011) — In response to the publication by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of an extensive review of the electronic throttle control systems in Toyota and Lexus vehicles, conducted with the assistance of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's Chief Quality Officer for North America, said:
"Toyota welcomes the findings of NASA and NHTSA regarding our Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-i) and we appreciate the thoroughness of their review. We believe this rigorous scientific analysis by some of America's foremost engineers should further reinforce confidence in the safety of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. We hope this important study will help put to rest unsupported speculation about Toyota's ETCS-I, which is well-designed and well-tested to ensure that a real world, un-commanded acceleration of the vehicle cannot occur.
"We will continue to develop and equip Toyota and Lexus vehicles with industry-leading safety technologies, including many based on breakthroughs in sophisticated electronics systems. We will also continue to cooperate fully with NHTSA and respected outside experts in order to help ensure that our customers have the utmost confidence in the safety and reliability of our vehicles. Everyone at Toyota – all 30,000 of our team members in the United States and the many thousands of Americans at our dealers and suppliers across the country – is focused on listening to our customers and constantly improving our products and service."
Regarding the safety and reliability of Toyota vehicles with ETCS-I, the company also noted:

Can you reproduce the problem and send me the error message? You might
also want to try 2.1dev8 (current-CVS). It fixes quite a few bugs (see

2.1dev8 and release it. With a bit of luck I can get back to work sometime
this month.

DBC refers to "design by contract", which again is a software development
methodology. Enabling DBC doesn't have any functional effect to how
ecasound works, but is meant for debugging and triggering warnings if
something unexpected happens. Basicly ecasound source code is full of
contracts which describe the programmer's intent (ie. what the program
_should_ do). If you enable dbc with --enable-dbc, these contracts are
checked during runtime. If some contract is not met, a warning
is issued (like the one you got from ecaplay).

About Discipleship

The Legal Lowdown
As the founder, I receive no money from the ministry, nor does anyone else involved. The ministry does not accept donations, receiving zero income. All costs are paid out-of-pocket. This is because we prefer to wait for our reward. Obviously, the lack of income would limit distribution of materials and outreach activities if it all relied on us, but it does not. I encourage disciples of Christ to copy and add materials to assist them in their own ministry.
[In fact, if you have an idea for a topic, have already completed an essay, or simply want someone from WM to look it over, then send it along. We would be glad to review, confer, or even add to the site if you so desire. That's how this works!]
No income taxes are paid and no exemption is claimed for nonprofit work. I learned long ago that some people support a ministry solely to write the expenses off on their taxes. I do not need that form of help. Besides, Christian organizations got along fine before the introduction of tax incentives and the good ones will continue to do so after the incentives are removed.
As a Christian organization, the goal is to produce study materials and promote doctrinal-related dialog that reflect the work of the Holy Spirit. If anything good is to come from this ministry (or any other), it will be only through the influence and guidance of the Spirit. If that were truly the case, how would one copyright the work of the Holy Spirit? It would not be a private work. It would belong to the Spirit and, therefore, to any believer in fellowship with God.
As such, none of the materials available from Workman Ministries are copyrighted. Some would argue that this position leaves us open to those who disagree with the positions taken by the ministry and mean to undermine it. Since we believe that the Holy Spirit is all that is needed to interpret Scripture, then we are perfectly willing to let any believer judge the value of these efforts against any criticism leveled against it.
