The distance function tool in Leapfrog Geo allows you to calculate the distance from a given object or objects within a project, and derive distance buffers – solids whose walls are a set distance from the objects we are interested in. Although conceptually simple, this tool can be applied to drillhole planning and resource classification to quickly and easily inform and justify our planning, and quantify current and potential reserves.
In the example below, we have an ore body which is partially drilled out; to the south it is poorly constrained and we need to plan an additional drillhole program to gather more information in this area.
While we can visually identify areas that have limited numbers of pierce points, ideally, we want to quantify in some way what areas are poorly controlled, and ultimately what impact our new drilling will have on our resource. In this example we will assume that anywhere within 50m of a drillhole will be classed as measured, 50-75m as indicated, 75-100m inferred and >100m as unclassified. Note that you could also use these same classifications to categorise confidence.
To start this process, right click on the Numeric Models folder in the project tree and select 'new distance function'. In the next dialogue box, click the 'select objects' button, and then move 'drillhole traces from 'available objects' on the left side, to 'selected objects' on the right. Click OK, to go back to the main distance function dialogue box, and then go to the 'buffers' tab. Press 'add' to add a calculated distance isosurface, and type in the distance from the objects you want it to be. In this case, we will make 3, at 50, 75 and 100 metres respectively. We will be coming back to these later.
Having made the distance buffer, we now need to evaluate it onto our body, by right clicking on the ore body and selecting the evaluations option, and then moving our distance function from 'available' on the left to 'selected' on the right. If we use the select display option in the shape list for the ore body we can now view colour it by the distance to the drillholes, and set up a discrete colour scheme to reflect our categories.
At this point, if you want to understand the distribution of the drilling in the interior of the ore body you can create a block model and code it using the same distance function.
Now we can easily see both the distribution of our pierce points, and how well constrained our ore body is internally; we can now use the drillhole planning tool to target these areas.
Once the drillhole planning is done (and while we are doing it!) it would be good to understand how this additional data will affect the confidence in and classification of our model. We now repeat the initial steps in this workflow, but this time when selecting our objects in the distance function, choose our planned drillholes in addition to the drillhole traces. When we colour our solid again we will be able to see how the next round of drilling will improve our understanding of the ore body.
Although we have now visually justified the placement of our drillholes it would also be good to quantify the impact of additional drilling, and compare the benefits of potential resource increases vs. the cost of the additional drillholes. To do this we will revisit the distance buffers/isoshells that we constructed earlier, and use the combined models feature.
Right click on the 'combined models' folder and choose 'new combined model', then tick the boxes against the geological model containing your ore body, and your initial distance function. In the following dialogue box tick the boxes next to the isoshells in the distance function and your orebody, and press 'ok' to make the combined model. You can now go to the output volumes folder and view the resultant solids. You can get the total volume of each solid by clicking on it in the scene view and looking at the information pane that appears in the bottom left of the screen, or by right clicking on it in the project tree and selecting 'properties'.
We can now directly compare the potential increase in volume of our resource with the addition of the new drilling. In the example presented here the measured portion of the resource will be increased from 52.6 million cubic meters to 60.7 million cubic metres, an increase of 15.4%.
Utilising the distance function to analyse the distribution of our data relative to the model is a fast and efficient methodology to understand the confidence in and classifications of our geology and resource models. This allows us to optimise our drillhole planning, and maximise the benefit to the project of our limited drilling budgets.

Expert laments lack of measures to protect children from poverty
Greece has not been doing enough to fight child poverty, Deputy Ombudsman Giorgos Moschos told a parliamentary committee on Friday.
He told MPs on the equality and human rights committee that a panel of experts at the National Center for Social Research had come to this conclusion after studying a range of figures.
"The team of experts found that children at risk of poverty had risen from 23 percent in 2008 to 30.4 percent in 2011 and that the percentage of children experiencing severe material deprivation rose from 18.7 percent to 29.2 percent," he said, adding that the proportion of children living in a household where neither parent works tripled to 9.2 percent.
"So far there has been no strong political commitment to fighting child poverty in Greece," Moschos said.

CloverfieldClues Interview - E! Online
E! Online: Psst...Can You Keep a Monster Secret?
* Thanks to Joal Ryan for emailing me this ;)
27 comments:
Dennis is famous! I don't know
how you do it, but keep it up!
Awesome job Dennis. Its great to see your name in ink, aint it!?! Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Kudos Dennis! As I stated before, you are so far in we need an offshore drilling rig to get you out!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks again for the absolute best Cloverfield Blog, It's Slusho! time!
Cool beans Dennis. Oh and thanks for making this spoiler free! Huge relief. I gave up on the forums just last week to protect my eyes and ears from too much before the release. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
that's awesome, man!
you rule for making this blog SPOILER FREE!
Okay, theory on slusho:ReplyDelete
People are going to be the "monkeys" because they throw their hands up at a loud noise (monster roar). Slusho is
the "cheese" nobody can get enough of.
The army soldier say "It's winning." In other words, we're losing.
Any more ideas on how slusho has anything to do with this movie????
I don't think Slusho! plays more than a part we already know.ReplyDelete
Grats Dennis. You deserve the kudos for an excellent job on the site. Keep up the good work on informing us for the final few weeks.ReplyDelete
Awesome Dennis! Congrats! ;]ReplyDelete
I am beginning to think you are right,ReplyDelete
the whole sluso thing has been
dead for a while now. Well,
I guess I will just sit back and
enjoy the updates we get from Dennis,
I am out of ideas, and I am supposed to be working anyway.
Yay Dennis! I agree whole-heartedly with everyone else here!ReplyDelete
I know the movie seems to be focusedReplyDelete
on NYC, but it plainly states
there are multiple sightings, this is just number 447. Could the movie
give us a glimpse of more monsters in other parts of the country?
Great article! I'm one of those who is torn. I wanna know REAL bad, but then if I find out, I'll be bummed. DILEMMAAAAA!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Oh well, this is the most fun I've had waiting for a film to come out in years.
Thanks again, Dennis!

Great job Dennis running this site you have made the wait for cloverfield so much easier, again great job and keep it up.ReplyDelete
while we wait, here is some readingReplyDelete
about underwater black smoke, cold seeps, and whale falls in the deep sea.
Sorry for the multiple post,ReplyDelete
but if the whale lice mutated and
grew taller than SoL, that would be
an awesome image.
Congrats Dennis! Thanks for keeping this place spoiler-free! ^_^ReplyDelete
Which is AWESOME! :)

Just another quick thought... Are we sure Slusho! isn't in America yet? I think this is probably true, but one thing made me think that maybe in-game, Slusho! is in America. We've seen it on Heroes, so maybe they are trying to show that it is available (in an in-game sort of way). Does Heroes specify the time frame in which it takes place?
I didn't know this, but according to unfiction, Slusho is being consumed by americans (IG at least). So as we speak, people are becoming addicted
to Slusho?
IG, on one of the MySpace pages, one of the characters talks about getting a Slusho. So, IG, yes it's in America.

Is great to see that on E! You deserve it good friend! And the job you have done with this page is awsome and you know you have your "regulars" who come to pay tribute and follow the cloverfield viral along with you..ReplyDelete
Keep the great job.!
And to everyone: we'll keep posting until que release last minute!
Congrats to all that make this site possible!
Dennis say somtng man!
So Tagruato is up to something at Chuai station. Good people have gone missing as there was an accident there. A former biologist employee is dead. No TidoWave event took place. So maybe they are making and hiding something. Will Slusho! be the catalyst for the making of the monster? Is the station just in danger because it has become competition for the monster's food (sea bed nectar) or is the station making too much noise? Surely the station will be up and running by January 18th with its first shipment of oil reaching New York Harbor by 12 am or so? Whistle blower and TidoWave will put it all into clearer focus at some point, I hope.ReplyDelete

And I just had an idea, does everyone remember when The Simpsons Movie came out, they turned 7-11's into Quick-E-Marts? Wouldn't it be cool if they turned Slushee/Icee/Slurpee machines into Slusho machines? Or just added them to different chains?
WOW, Dennis! And to think, we at The Lost Community knew you way back when! Glad to see you getting kudos.ReplyDelete
I don't like to look at the last page of a book, so I'm willing to wait for the surprise!

It's near impossible to talk about modern-day ELAC loudspeaker designs without talking about designer Andrew Jones. At Munich High-End, it's impossible to talk about modern-day ELAC loudspeaker designs without talking to Andrew Jones.
Two years ago, we caught Jones talking about his imminent plans to activate the Debut and/or Uni-Fi Series. Since then, ELAC and Jones have opted for a completely new range of active loudspeakers. The Argo can be had as a 3-way B51 standmount (€2000/pair) or a 3-way F51 floorstander (US$4000/pair).
Significantly, the Argo's absence of DSP plays active drive down the middle. The B51 and F51 feature no DSP. The circuitry is all analogue. No ADC greets an upstream phono stage. Alternatively, end users can BYO on a high-end DAC without stressing over any potential bottleneck wrought by the DAC inside the loudspeaker. For those wanting wireless streaming, an outboard AirX2 module (not on display at the MOC) will cover 99% of the world's music supply despite its 16bit/44.1kHz ceiling. For hi-res playback, an outboard DAC becomes essential.
In this fifteen minute video interview, Jones introduces ELAC's Argo models whilst shifting in and out of more philosophical thoughts on active loudspeakers:
I'm sure the irony isn't lost on our Yorkshireman-gone-Stateside that the forward-thinking audiophile going active is not only rewarded with a lower box count but, by his own admission, better sound quality (for the same money spent).

Birds – they were everywhere! Of course, it was a bird sanctuary, so I should have expected it 🙂
Saw more birds and animals on this weekend trip to the Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary than I ever have before. The bus journey took us 3 hours, which was pretty decent considering all the reports I got about the roads and how it would take us 5-6 hours to get there.
The sanctuary is an island on the Cauvery river and is about 3 kilometres from Srirangapatha, which used to be Tipu Sultan's summer capital. We took a boat ride that lasted for about ½ hour and the boatman helpfully pointed out several different species (I am still getting acquainted with bird types!). The most common bird that was present in thousands was the White Ibis.
Saw an ugly croc sunbathing on a rock and we went really close. Not a pretty sight. Just as we approached it lazily went back into the water. Several times, I heard loud burping noises emanating from these creatures, which was reassuring, because it meant they were full and satisfied. The boatman assured us they were harmless.
Besides the Ibis, were the little Comorrant, Night/Pond Heron, Kingfisher, Egrets, Bats (in large numbers, all asleep!) and other birds I am only just becoming familiar with. The bats looked really cool – hundreds of them enjoying their morning siesta all hanging upside down from the tall trees – looked like a scene out of Harry Potter! After the leisurely boatride, we sat there for a while drinking chai and then left for Mysore.
There was no vehicle handy so we trekked about 3 kms from the sanctuary to the main road. It was sunny, but a pleasant walk and we saw more birds on the way – including some pretty parakeets. Once we reached Srirangapatna, thankfully a bus stopped on the road and from there it was a 12 km ride to Mysore.
We made a trip to the Mysore Palace and then decided not to go in since there was a really huge queue and we had to give up our cameras at the counter (and I did not in the very least like the idea of leaving my precious Nikon with strange people!).
We headed for the Mysore zoo instead. And since it was a public holiday, everyone in Mysore was there, especially the little folk! I must say, the zoo is really impressive. The map came in very handy in finding our way around. Actually, I can't even remember the last time I've gone to a zoo…
It was interesting. We spent about 2 hours (and walked about 3 kilometres) roaming around watching more animals. I was as excited as the kids to spot the giraffes as soon as we entered the gates :). White tigers, zebras, hippos, pythons, giraffes, gorillas, more birds – enough animals to keep me happy for a lifetime, methinks!
At the end of the day, I probably would have screamed if we saw another animal! Finally caught the 6.45 pm bus from Mysore and was back at 10 pm. Crashed and dreamt of what else but – animals!

Journal Entry - 2/20/10
My last day out in the village for a while. Sun is setting behind the mango tree, and the breeze is unbelievable. It has been that way most evenings as of late. I have been here for a long time now, actually, the longest I have stayed here without returning for supplies. Incidentally, I am broke.* I have been out of money for the last four or five days, just living on what I have here at the house/ hut. (It is still more than the rest of the people out here.) But I have no bread, or any fruit from the weekly market currently due to a lack of funds. I used my last bit of cash to buy medicine for the chief's son. I cannot wait to eat something other than noodles, but I will eat well tomorrow when I leave the bush and get back into town.
I must say that this time out here has been different than any other. It has produced in me a different attitude about being here, a much more quiet attitude. My spirit has been calmer here than normal. Maybe it is all of the events with the kidney stone incident, current civil conditions here, and a healthy dose of spiritual reflection. I do not know.
Here in the village, life seems timeless. Little, black bodies bob up and down in the fields towards the horizon, just as they did yesterday, just as they will tomorrow. The sun comes up at the same time and sets at the same time every day. It has not rained a single time for months, and the temperature is always the same. My friends are complaining back in the states of snow and ice, and I am realizing I live in an endless summer. Some may think that sounds great. As for me, summer is my least favorite season.
I have spent much time in study and the Word these weeks. It has been real good too. I have accomplished much in language study, listened to a dozen of those astronomy lectures, done a study on the book of Jude, started a refresher on basic biblical doctrines, and have made my way through most of the Gospels and the Pentateuch. It is amazing how much you can get done when all the noise of distraction is pulled out of your life. I have no idea what has happened in the rest of the world, and surprisingly, I am okay with this fact. The world is still here, I know that much. I have no temptations to steal my time here. (It is not to say I have no temptations, as I have discovered they abound at every turn.) However, here there is no television or internet to waste time with, no markets or places to leech up hours of my day. It is just me, my back porch, and the same group of villagers passing by day after day.
I started helping my neighbor in the fields this past week. It nearly killed me. Minutes in this equator sun are like hours of sun in America. I did not realize how draining it was until I was finished for the day. I had a headache for the next three days! We watered an acre field of eggplants with a plant feeder… each one, individually. Of course there are no water hoses here, so we had to draw water out of a well, bucket by bucket, and water the plants by hand. (A chore that must be tackled every day during the dry season.) Then we weeded the ground with a hand hoe. I was bent over for hours doing this. There is no mechanical assistance. The fields are plowed with a pair of oxen pulling a steel plow.
Despite the work, I think my neighbor and I are actually becoming friends… real friends. A fact, of which I am indeed proud.
The sun has made its way behind the distant palm trees to the west. Time to go inside and fix my last pot of noodles for a while. It is that thought alone that will help me get them down.
*A side note here: I was simply out of cash on hand in the village, please do not think I am suffering over here without any provisions. I have more than enough financial support!

The Government of Alberta is investing in Innovate Calgary to help more small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs grow or get their ideas off the ground.
Innovate Calgary will use $1.5 million to expand its small business incubator. Small business incubators connect entrepreneurs with mentors and experts who help them navigate the early stages of starting and growing a business.
Statistics show that Alberta small businesses with incubator support have an average growth rate of 25 per cent, while nationally the average is less than five per cent.
"Small businesses bring exciting new ideas into our economy and create jobs and opportunities for all Albertans. That's why we are providing this support to help more entrepreneurs turn their ideas into new businesses with products and services that are ready for market."
~Deron Bilous, Minister of Economic Development and Trade
The government is also launching a $3-million Entrepreneur Support program under the Alberta Entrepreneurship Incubator initiative to help Alberta entrepreneurs offset a variety of business startup costs. Small business incubators around the province will refer eligible entrepreneurs to the funding program. Alberta Innovates will administer the funding on behalf of the province.
"Alberta Innovates is proud to deliver the Alberta Entrepreneurship Incubator initiative throughout the province. This initiative demonstrates an intentional drive toward an entrepreneurial culture in the province, creates new firms which generate new jobs and develops new technologies and support mechanisms for the diversification and growth of our economy."
~Laura J.Kilcrease, CEO, Alberta Innovates
Quick facts
- Program funding comes from Economic Development and Trade's Alberta Entrepreneurship Incubator program (AEI).
- The AEI program is a $10-million, two-year pilot, delivered through Alberta Innovates, to fund entrepreneur development and mentor support programs across Alberta.
- This year, seven regional incubators have received AEI funding to support startup businesses across the province.
- The AEI program has two streams:
- The Accelerator Expansion Support stream, with funding of $7 million, supports entrepreneurial incubation capacity.
- The Entrepreneurship Support stream, with funding of $3 million, supports entrepreneurial projects.

In 1990 I was wanting a statue of Mary, I figured a 1 foot tall one, My husband took me to a lawn and garden center, where we found this cement 3 1/2 foot statue of Mary, He bought it for me. It took 2 men to carry her to our car, then 2 men to take it from car to house. She was marble looking, pink and grey and white. I decided to paint her as she looks in pictures, so I bought craft paint, and painted her. She was on the coffee table in the living room and I was waiting for the 2 men to come move her to the corner table between the couch and wall.
My husband, who is not allowed to lift more that 5 pounds, said he would move her. Well on this corner table I had a tablecloth, and a doily in the middle. I told Bill thats where she has to go. I was worried about his lifting this 50 pound or more statue, up and over to the table. He grabbed her by the shoulder, thumbs and fingers facing down, and lifted her, right to the middle of the doily, and said, gee Mary did't seem heavy at all, its like she moved herself.
Now she has sat out in the sun and a few storms and Mary is painted in water paints, and she has barely faded. We have all kinds of other outdoor statuary, and they have either lost all color, or disinergrated to nothing. Mary is in FULL SUN, all day in Arizona, where it really heats up.
I had the statue of Mary with a metal pipe rack used for clothes to hang, put around her, and used brown lawn edging to make an arch. We put mini lights around the arch. This was in 1995, after Marys first visit.
This past October, Mary showed me where she wanted her Shrine to be moved, and asked that I plant the white roses to each side of her. My husband moved Mary and the pedestal that she is on to where I showed him, and we put in the White roses. I now have a simple altar in front of her, its 2 plaster pedestals, and a board over them, so when I or anyone wants to kneel down and use a prayer book they can place it there.
Theres is a sidewalk we made from tile to go up to Mary from the regular sidewalk. a fountain beside her, and also a European Prayer station, like in Germany, a small house on a pole that stands 6 feet up, with a crucifix, in it, and mini lights around the house.
The yard has tables and chairs and benches all around it for reflection, and just to sit and visit with Mary and Jesus. I am trying to get some wood so I can put up The Stations Of the Cross also.
Phoenix, Arizona
Our Blessed Mother came to me in my home, after I had been working in my yard all afternoon. She told me,
"Be still my daughter, as I have come to show and teach you of the events that are about to happen."
(Part of the message is cut here)
(Mary showed me my yard, where her little shrine is, and she was crying, standing in front of it.)
Mary said, " Why does no one come to SEE ME here ? Do they not LOVE me? "
( I had never invited anyone to see the little shrine, it still needs work around it, and being as ill as I have been, I have not done too much.)
(Mary then showed me churches, empty seats, empty pews.)
Mary said, " Where are all the Faithful? Have they all LEFT this place of worship? My children, RETURN to your churches!
Where is your adoration of my Son's Body? I do not see it.
This I tell you: ANY CHURCH WHO WILL HAVE ADORATION OF JESUS' BODY, WILL GROW. THE SINS OF YOUR VILLAGES ( CITIES ) WILL BEGIN TO PERISH AS YOU ADORE JESUS. SPEND TIME WITH MY SON'S HOLY BODY." (Mary showed me a monstrance, and she was kneeling in front of it. I also was shown a priest holding up the Host, as in the Consecration, and the BODY OF JESUS GOING INTO THE HOST, LIKE A VAPOR FROM ABOVE...)
Mary said, " Pray, my children, PRAY! Confess your sins, take my Son's Body into yours. Remember your Laws, given you by God. LIVE these laws!
Look to the Light, my children. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ABOUT TO COME ONTO YOU."
(End of message)

Everyone is welcome to come to my little shrine for Mary. Ring my bell. - Pat.

Drafted with high hopes in April, cut in August. That's the reality for Jachai Polite, taken by the Jets in the third round of the NFL draft. This story in the New York Post explores the how and why of Polite's fall.
Polite came to the Jets via a 68th-overall pick, a move that now looks like a mistake. GM Mike Maccagnan, who made the selection, is out of a job, though not for this pick only.
Polite is still just 21 years old, which means there is still time for him to make a career in pro football. Will he prove the Jets wrong for letting him go? Will another team pick him up? Or was the whole thing a mistake from the start?
On one level, Polite's story is just another reminder of how hard it is to predict performance. But there's also reason to think that enough warning signs were there on Polite. Said the Post: "(He) was projected as a first-round pick by some before the scouting combine, but his draft stock plummeted after a poor workout and some bad interviews. There were also questions about his maturity. The Jets felt they were getting a steal in the third round, but it is pretty clear that coach Adam Gase was not on board with this pick by Maccagnan, who was fired a few weeks after the draft."
The Jets thought they were getting steal. But now it appears they were left empty-handed.

1) Mike Davis: When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Davis and fellow tailback Cory Boyd gave the Bulldogs fits last year in Athens, chewing up yards and preventing our sluggish offense from getting the ball back until it was just too late. Make no mistake, Steve Spurrier likes to throw the ball around, but he's not averse to running it if that's what gets the job done. Look for him to try to get the ball to Davis whenever possible, including on screens..
And a special bonus prediction: Yes, Spurrier will get Stephen Garcia in during the first half as well. He shouldn't of course,because a redshirt freshman seeing his first game action against the #2 team in the country is just not ideal. But if you're the South Carolina coaches, you have to figure he can't be any worse than the gimpy shouldered interception dispenser disguised as Tommy Beecher. And he's at least mobile enough to duck. That might come in handy in the event that a vertically challenged linebacker who's #35 in your programs and #1 in your hearts discovers that South Carolina's offensive line is a lot like Hawaii's, minus the dancing and the faint aroma of smoked pork and pineapples.
2) Matt Stafford dropping the Bomb: It's one thing to make your opponent beat you, but another altogether to simply let your opponent beat you. Steve Spurrier does not want to let Knowshon Moreno beat him. That's just sound strategy. Right now Knowshon is our most dangerous weapon, and South Carolina will commit whatever defensive resources are required to contain him.
This will include frequent run blitzing, and linebackers staying in the box. We'll counter that run blitzing with frequent Matt Stafford hard counts to determine who's coming. But equally significant will be the fact that committing a safety or two linebackers to stopping the run means somebody will be getting man coverage with little help. If Matt Stafford consistently finds the one on one coverage, it will be a big night. Look for MoMass, A.J. Green and Kris Durham to get several chances down the field.
3) Jasper Brinkley walking on grasping at air: I just had to chuckle this summer when I saw South Carolina message board denizens breathlessly reporting that Jasper Brinkley is up to 270 pounds and it's all solid muscle. Bulldog fans recognize this particular illness as BrandonMilleritis. It's characterized by the mistaken belief that 270 pound linebackers are capable of chasing around elusive tailbacks. This belief is false. For me, the antidote was probably either Kenny Irons or Monterio Hardesty. For Gamecock partisans it will be Knowshon Moreno.
4) A wild start. I agree 100% with Paul Westerdawg that the key to this one will be the first few minutes. While Gamecock fans are notoriously optimistic, and get up for our occasional visits to Mark Richt Field at Williams-Brice Stadium, they also deflate like a helium balloon on occasion. This was true even before their current epic fail losing streak (1-5 in their last 6, for those of you scoring at home). My sense from talking to Gamecock fans is that they won't really be expecting much from this one, unless we give them a reason to hope. But if we do, it's on. A busted coverage here, a missed tackle there, and we could be in for a fight.
5) UGA 31, South Carolina 13. Ryan Succop will be the Gamecocks' leading scorer with 7 total points. The UGA scoring will break down like this: a) 3 offensive touchdowns resulting from long drives, 2 through the air and 1 on the ground, b) either a defensive touchdown off a Gamecock turnover, or a TD drive of less than 30 yards which results from a Gamecock turnover, and c) a Blair Walsh field goal concluding a stalled drive. South Carolina will get in the endzone at least once, but I imagine their offense will start and stall too much for them to win this one, or even make it particularly close. We won by 18 in our last trip to Columbia. Saturday will be deja vu all over again. Dawgs by 18. Until later . . .
Go 'Dawgs!!!

Based in Central Oregon, Elliot is a five-piece indie rock group. Elliot's guitarist and lead writer, Casey Parnell explains the influence of the band's home town on their music. "We love where we're from. Central Oregon is such a rugged and inspiring place to live. The whole Northwest is such a musical melting pot. We couldn't really help falling into it..." Seattle's grunge, Portland's coffee shop acoustic vibe, all the way to Central Oregon's own folksy bluegrass movement have lent influence to their sound. Aggressive and ethereal guitars, soft languid pianos, and pop vocal arrangements make their latest offering, "Rocketships" an exploration of both pop and rock themes. "We have a tendency to try things that are pretty strange but a pop sensibility that keeps us grounded.", says Evan Earwicker, the band's pianist. Their lyrics explore matters of faith and doubt, justice and injustice, the broken and the whole. The group's lead vocalist is Corey Parnell, who describes Elliot's music as both inspiring and challenging to listeners. "I just want to write music that gives people hope, helps them see there's more to live for and more to do. I want them to get done listening and adopt an orphan, or help out at a local food bank, or just forgive somebody.

Det verkar som att mars inte är en så värst bra bloggmånad för min del, har knappt tid att plocka upp kameran ens. Men, igår skickade jag iallafall in en rulle för framkallning som förmodligen kommer tillbaka till mig nästa vecka. Fram tills dess går jag igenom min hårddisk i jakt på något att fylla ut med. Bilden ovan är från oktober 2008, och det är fortfarande en av mina favoriter.
March is not a very good blogmonth for me, or so it seems, I barely have time or enough inspiration to pick up a camera. Yesterday I sent away a film to be developed though, and I will probably get it back next week. Until then I'm going through my hard drive. This is a shot from October 2008, and it is still one of my favourites.

Great photo! Love the black and white. I really like how the shadows in her eyes make it all seem so bizarre/creepy! Great job! (Y)ReplyDelete
bianca: thank you! and it's ok, it's quite hard to know since you have to click on the categories in order to find out which it belongs to. I've been trying to add a little note of it before the comment-link, but it never works and I have no idea why.ReplyDelete
joachim: thanks a lot!
this is so beautiful and dramatic. sometimes it's nice to go through old photos because you find some that didn't speak to you at the time, but that you now end up liking.ReplyDelete

Haproxy log analyzer that tries to gives an insight of what's going on
Project description
HAProxy log analyzer
This Python package is a HAProxy log parser. It analyzes HAProxy log files in multiple ways (see commands section below).
Tests and coverage
No project is trustworthy if does not have tests and a decent coverage!
See the documentation and API at ReadTheDocs.
Command-line interface
The current --help looks like this:
usage: haproxy_log_analysis [-h] [-l LOG] [-s START] [-d DELTA] [-c COMMAND] [-f FILTER] [-n] [--list-commands] [--list-filters] [--json] Analyze HAProxy log files and outputs statistics about it optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -l LOG, --log LOG HAProxy log file to analyze -s START, --start START Process log entries starting at this time, in HAProxy date format (e.g. 11/Dec/2013 or 11/Dec/2013:19:31:41). At least provide the day/month/year. Values not specified will use their base value (e.g. 00 for hour). Use in conjunction with -d to limit the number of entries to process. -d DELTA, --delta DELTA Limit the number of entries to process. Express the time delta as a number and a time unit, e.g.: 1s, 10m, 3h or 4d (for 1 second, 10 minutes, 3 hours or 4 days). Use in conjunction with -s to only analyze certain time delta. If no start time is given, the time on the first line will be used instead. -c COMMAND, --command COMMAND List of commands, comma separated, to run on the log file. See --list-commands to get a full list of them. -f FILTER, --filter FILTER List of filters to apply on the log file. Passed as comma separated and parameters within square brackets, e.g ip[192.168.1.1],ssl,path[/some/path]. See --list- filters to get a full list of them. -n, --negate-filter Make filters passed with -f work the other way around, i.e. if the ``ssl`` filter is passed instead of showing only ssl requests it will show non-ssl traffic. If the ``ip`` filter is used, then all but that ip passed to the filter will be used. --list-commands Lists all commands available. --list-filters Lists all filters available. --json Output results in json. --invalid Print the lines that could not be parsed. Be aware that mixing it with the print command will mix their output.
Commands are small purpose specific programs in themselves that report specific statistics about the log file being analyzed. See them all with --list-commands or online at https://haproxy-log-analyzer.readthedocs.io/modules.html#module-haproxy.commands.
Filters, contrary to commands, are a way to reduce the amount of log lines to be processed.
See them all with --list-filters or online at https://haproxy-log-analyzer.readthedocs.io/modules.html#module-haproxy.filters.
After installation you will have a console script haproxy_log_analysis:
$ pip install haproxy_log_analysis
add more commands: (help appreciated)
reports on servers connection time
reports on termination state
reports around connections (active, frontend, backend, server)
your ideas here
think of a way to show the commands output in a meaningful way
be able to specify an output format. For any command that makes sense (slow requests for example) output the given fields for each log line (i.e. acceptance date, path, downstream server, load at that time…)

text: Past Event Violeta Moreno-Lax | The "Permanent Crisis" of Migration by Sea Share Add to Calendar: Google Yahoo February 21, 2019 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Event time is displayed in your time zone. Room 114, Avery Hall, Columbia University Lecture delivered by Violeta Moreno-Lax. "The 'permanent crisis' narrative employed by destination countries in Europe, North America, and Australia, has allowed them to structuralise 'exceptional' measures as part of their domestic apparatuses of border control in their war against irregular migration. This is particularly visible at sea, where 'pull-backs' by proxy, 'privatized' interdiction by merchant vessels, and instances of non-rescue challenge the core principles of international protection. Many have written on the erosion of non-refoulement in extraterritorial contexts, denouncing the difficulties facing 'boat migrants' in reaching safe haven. The extra-territoriality of the oceans, removed from the public eye, creates an 'out of sight, out of mind' effect favouring the excesses of power characteristic of Operation Sovereign Borders in Australia, the mare clausum approach followed by the EU, and the 'wet foot / dry foot' arbitrariness still guiding the US Caribbean interdiction programme. These initiatives have a well-documented negative impact on the rights of 'boat migrants' and fail to address the root causes of displacement. Instead, as several studies corroborate, they divert flows towards ever more perilous routes and contribute to the raise of death tolls. They entrench insecurity, fuelling not only the original causes of flight but creating new dangers impeding access to protection – if not denying plain survival. The question hence arises as for whether 'policies based on deterrence, militarization and extraterritoriality', denounced by UN Special Rapporteur Agnès Callamard and others, 'which implicitly or explicitly tolerate [and perpetuate] the risk of migrant deaths as part of an effective control of entry' are compatible with international law.* What is more, the point is to elucidate whether trapping migrants in a vicious circle of more control, more danger, and more displacement, where they can only rely on facilitators to escape life-threatening perils, does not per se amount to a form of 'persecution' in the sense of Article 1(A)2 of the 1951 Refugee Convention. This is the question this paper proposes to explore to determine the limits that international (refugee) law should be understood to impose on consolidating practices of 'remote' (yet violent) maritime border control that deter entry by endangering human life, whether purposely or inadvertently. The role of knowledge (rather than intent), the foreseeability of lethal consequences of policy measures, and due diligence obligations to protect physical integrity from irreversible harm will be examined in this framework. The final goal is to (re-)define the contours of what constitutes a legitimate exercise of sovereignty when managing maritime migration flows. *Report of the Special Rapporteur of the Human Rights Council on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, Agnès Callamard, A/72/335 (2018), para 10 (emphasis added).This lecture is organized as part of the course Mapping Maritime Frontiers in the Eastern Mediterranean at Columbia University, taught by Nora Akawi and Naor Ben-Yehoyada. The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Anthropology, Studio-X Amman at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and Columbia Global Centers | Amman, the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, the European Institute, and the Middle East Institute at Columbia University.

Criteria for judging content critically based on Google Safety resources as well as on an article I shared here a couple of years ago
1- Be skeptic
Before you believe ask yourself questions such as: what's the point of view of the site? And what opinions or ideas are missing. Does the information show a minimum of bias ? Is the author impartial in their reasoning ? Is the page designed to sway opinions ?
2- Fact-checking
Always double check the facts that you find through comparing them with other sources of information. Ask yourself: Is the information reliable ? Is it error-free ? Does it include links to other resources ?
3- About the author
Is the author qualified ? An expert in their domain ? Is there a link to the information about the author or the sponsor of the website ? If the page does not include no author name or sponsor, then is there any other way to determine its origin.
4- About the page
Check out if the page is dated and if so , is it current enough ? what topics this website cover ? What is it that this page offers to readers ? How in-depth is the material ? What about the writing style, arguments, data , and facts included ? how are these developed ?
5- Search strategically
Use advanced search features to refine your searches. Think critically about your online searches and use specific and descriptive keywords.
6- Conduct multiple searches
Search for the same topic using various keywords and phrases. Compare the search results and evaluate the different perspectives.
7- Pay attention to the URL domains
The URL domain is located at the end of a website address. URL domains reveal the kind of organization you are dealing with . Educational institutions and government entities usually aim to share knowledge and improve communities. Examples of URL domains are .com = company, .gov = government website, .edu = educational institution, .org = organization.

I'm continuing my focus on all things fabric and sewing this month, so I felt the DecoArt So-Soft Fine Glitter Fabric Paints would work in well with the theme here. I mean, who doesn't like to add a bit of glitter?
The DecoArt So-Soft Fine Glitter Fabric Paints are described on the site:
SoSoft Glitters are soft, acrylic fabric paint with very brilliant glitter specifically designed to be used on fabrics. They are ideal for adding sparkle and glamour to fabric accessories from shoes to purses or for home decor accents and accessories like lampshares and bed linens.
SoSoft Glitters are easy to apply with no heat setting, fabric medium, or special brushes needed.
The paints are a medium-viscosity paint- it's about the thickness of pancake syrup- and features a lightly tinted base that is translucent so you can really see the glitter shine through. It's milky when wet, but becomes very transparent when dry.
I do like the fact that you can use the So-Soft paints right out of the bottle- just pour, pounce, and paint. Of course the first thing I did was a few swatch tests. All of these fabrics are cottons and I used 1, 2, and 3 coats of paint respectively so that you can see how the color builds up.
As you can see, the more coats you use, the more glitter you get- but it also does affect the hand, or stiffness, of the fabric. For wearables, I'd suggest just using one coat because it keeps your fabric soft and comfy.
On this next example, I used a paintbrush on a brass stencil. Because the paint is thinner than most acrylics, the paint seeped underneath, leaving a blurry image. Not so good.
However, I did like the effect of the blue glitter on the black- so I tried to stencil an old suitcase to add some pizzazz.
I used two coats, but the effect was pretty subtle. However, you won't mistake MY bag for anyone else's on the baggage carousel!
What I did learn from my suitcase experiment was that a sponge pouncer paired with a plastic stencil was the best way to apply color. (I used both my Martha Stewart Stencils and the Sponge Pouncer from the Tools line.)
So, learning from that, I decided to try a baby burp cloth- kind of the ultimate litmus test. It's open weave, needs to be soft, and needs to be washable AND dryable.
Using the sponge pouncer and a different Martha Stewart Paints Stencil, I went for an ombre effect with blue and purple glitter.
There was a little seeping through (there's that open-weave thing for you) but the paint went on beautifully- and really quickly- with the sponge dauber. I stenciled both sides and set it aside to dry.
Now here's the one thing to know about this paint: while you don't need to heat-set it (in fact, that's not even on the instructions) you DO need to wait 48 hours for the paint to fully cure before washing. So this is NOT one of those "make-it-today-wear-it-tonight" type of crafts. Make sure you give yourself enough time for the paint to cure.
I painted on Wednesday, and on Saturday I decided to give the burp cloth the wash test. The directions say to wash inside-out on gentle and dry on low heat. While I can respect that advice, most of my kids clothes need to be washed for REAL- in warm/hot water and dried in at least a medium heat. So that's just what I did!
A little wrinkly, but the colors and still vibrant. However glitter- gone! So THAT's why you can't use the heat. The glitter goes bye-bye! So another lesson learned- follow the washing instructions (duh!) but also this might be better for things you don't have to wash often or vigorously.
I wouldn't hesitate to use DecoArt So-Soft Glitter fabric paint again- as a matter of fact, I have a whole gift-set envisioned with snapsuits, burp cloths, and a bib. But you can use it all kinds of surfaces, according to the website:
- Clothing
- Lampshades
- Pillows
- Bed linen
- Placemats
- Tablecloths
- Curtains
- Quilts
- Fabric Purses and Totes
- Sneakers
I certainly would love to upcycle some old conference totes with So-Soft Glitter paint. And what a way to punch up some napkins! And with 15 colors and under $1.50 USD per 2-oz bottle, you can have a lot of fun upcycling without investing alot of cash.
What would YOU glitter up?
