Warm Wednesday; Rain & Chilly Thursday
Good morning folks! It's another warm one out there today (Tuesday) with temps hitting the low 70's across the valleys, when normally we should be in the low 60's for the first 1/3 of November. Wednesday will be even warmer, pushing temps into the mid 70's across the lower elevations as high pressure slides east, setting up a strong southwesterly flow across the region. This transition in overall flow will seed cloud development as we approach sunset on Wednesday, followed by light drizzle after midnight for the escarpment, expanding with light shower coverage as we start the day on Thursday. All of SW NC will get in on the action as the day moves along Thursday, with scattered showers becoming widespread for a few hours as the front reaches the mountain during the afternoon hours. Temps Thursday will be noticeably cooler, dropping from the mid 70's Wednesday to the upper 50's - low 60's Thursday as cooler air accompanies the front. Most of the area will pick up a half inch but the Plateau will collect an inch of rain, pushing Highlands closer to the 100" mark on the year; currently at 4.93" away as of 11/9. The front exits the region early Friday and sunshine then takes over, lasting through at least Sunday but temps will remain on the cool side of normal with highs hitting the low 60's Friday, dropping to the upper 40's - low 50's across the valleys Saturday and Sunday. The models point to a small chance of NW flow snowfall Sunday night into Monday evening, but this would only be for the usual suspects along the TN line and high elevation/NW facing ridgelines.
The timeline begins on Wednesday and if you have outdoor chores then this is your day as temps will start in the 30's across the region, eventually warming to the mid 70's by the late afternoon hours. These wild temperature swings are common during the fall months as we are treated to a dryer than normal airmass Oct and Nov. The ridgelines above 5500' will warm to the low 60's, when they normally they would be in the upper 40's. Clouds build closer to sunset and this will help cap temps to the low - upper 40's Wednesday night, with only light drizzle developing along the escarpment/SC state line.
Thursday will be a washout of sorts for the Plateau (Highlands - Cashiers - Lake Toxaway) as light - moderate rain peppers the area all day, with one inch of rain expected from Wednesday late night into Thursday evening. Elsewhere across SW NC, we'll endure scattered showers most of the day except for a 2 - 3 hour window of widespread, light - moderate showers after midday. This will lay down a half inch of rain, with central Haywood County the driest spot, only expecting 0.25 - 0.50" of rain over the 24 hour period. Temps hold to the upper 40's - upper 50's depending upon elevation , with a steady westerly wind around 5 - 15mph. Overnight lows drop to the upper 30's - mid 40's depending upon elevation, with precip ending for most of the region after midnight.
As the front clears the region before sunrise on Friday, clouds will follow suit and sunshine will take over just after sunrise, setting up a dry and comfortable end to the work and school week. Temps warm to the low 60's, which is right around normal for Cullowhee, while the highest ridgelines hold to the mid 40's, dropping sometime after midday to the 30's as cold air advection takes over post frontal. Temps bottom out to the mid 20's - mid 30's Friday night under mostly clear skies, however NW winds will likely hold steady around 10 - 15mph.
Saturday and Sunday offer up more sunshine but noticeably cooler temps and Saturday will be the cooler of the two days by a degree or two, with highs hitting the upper 40s' - low 50's Saturday and low - mid 50's Sunday. Overnight lows settle into the upper 20's - low 30's each night for the valleys, while the higher elevations above 4500' stay in the 20's each night.
We'll stop here and circle back Thursday morning, taking a deeper look into early next week and any chance for snow across the NW flow favored locations. ENJOY!

In Upper Austria, industry is the driving force behind the economic output of the entire region. The enormous power of industrial production, value added and investment is what makes Upper Austria an important place to do business. The Industriellenvereinigung (IV), the industrial association of Upper Austria, celebrated its 70th anniversary in June 2017.
To mark the occasion, the IV commissioned Ars Electronica Solutions to design and produce an interactive installation depicting the IV's four most important themes. The installation was conceived to provide visual highlights accompanying the program of events at the gala celebration, and also to serve as a permanent installation on display at the IV's Linz headquarters. Plus, there's a mobile version of the application designed to conveniently take on the road.
The basis of the installation is the depiction of an interactive globe on which geographic interrelationships, statistical data and diverse media (text, graphics, film, animation) can be displayed. The media elements were editorially prepared and integrated into the installation in such a way that "stories" about the four most important themes can be queried interactively. At the heart of the installation is a content management system that enables the IV to update and modify the presentation at any time.

Garland Winter Roofing Guide
What Your House Will Tell You About Its Faulty Roof
There are a few physical signs you might notice around your home, indicating that your roof might buckle. Obviously, if one of these things happens it doesn't mean your roof is going to cave in, but if you start noticing several of these things, it might be time to call your local Garland roofing contractor.
• Your roof is sagging
• There are cracked or split wood members
• Your home's doors pop open by themselves
• Doors and windows are difficult to open
• You hear frequent creaking or popping sounds from your house
• There are bowed utility pipes or conduit attached at ceiling
• New or expanding ceiling and wall cracks
The 30 lb Rule
If your roof was built with modern building codes, they should be able to handle snow pile ups just fine, unless the weight exceeds 30 lbs per square foot. Older buildings might not be able to even withstand this amount of pressure.
"Dead load"
Whether it's snow, water, leaves or additional HVAC equipment, the more weight that your roof has to support, the more likely it is to collapse. You don't have much time to consult a Garland roofing professional before a big storm.
Drains and Downspouts Care Tips
These roof areas can easily become frozen, causing rainwater or melting snow to be unable to adequately drain from the roof. leaves can clog your gutters, also preventing the proper draining of water's weight off of your roof. Proper maintenance of your drains will help prevent your roof from collapsing or leaking.
If you haven't been pro-active about winter roof care from the start, and you've noticed some of the signs above, then call us at 877-772-7581! We're some of the best roofers in Garland and Richardson – roofing contractors you can trust!
Garland Roofing Contractor Company Roof Services
Garland Roofing Contractor |
In reality, there are several different types of shingles, each one uniquely fitting for a particular building situation. If you are looking to replace your roof, here is a brief overview so you can choose the best roofing shingle for your Garland or Richardson, Texas house.
Garland Asphalt Shingle Roofing
• very popular since the 1950's
• lightweight and inexpensive
• made by permeating a fiber material with asphalt
• relatively fireproof
• contains copper or zinc that fight algae growth
• provides quality wind protection
• 20+ year lifespan
Garland Architectural Shingle Roofing
• thicker than asphalt shingles
• look more refined than asphalt shingles
• resist algae growth
• sometimes resemble natural materials like slate or wood
• not as prone to insect damage
• fire resistant
• last up to 50 years
Garland Wood Shingle Roofing
• smooth and uniform in appearance
• last 30-50 years
• cost more than asphalt shingles
Home Look and Resell Value - Roofing Tip
Chances are that your home, in Garland or Richardson Texas, currently has 3-tab shingles. As the name describes the shingle configuration leaves 12" wide tabs exposed with 1/4" slot lines or rain groves. Though definitely functional, the 3-tab shingle has lost much of its popularity due to the introduction of the architectural (or dimensional) shingle.
Architectural shingles are modeled after the look of wooden cedar shake shingles without the fire hazard, insect problems, rotting, and expense of a wooden shingle. Architectural shingles can also look like slate and mimic the appearance other materials.
An architectural shingle can increase the curb appeal and re-sale value of your home. Other advantages include heavier weight and thicker (reducing blow-offs), less potential for curling, and they have a textured uneven look for a clean appearance when applied over badly deteriorated roofing.
Shingles and Roof Pitch
The slope of the roof is a factor in deciding which shingles are right when re-roofing your home. Asphalt shingles are the most adequate shingle for a medium slope roof, because they handle moisture well – anywhere from a 4/12" pitch (mild slope) to a 12/12" pitch (extreme slope). Wood shingles are usually only used for steeper pitches (taller roofs where water runs off faster) as they are more prone to leakage.
Your roofing shingle selection, along with any other questions about Garland Roofing can be answered by your local roofing contractor -- www.GarlandResidentialRoofing.com or by calling for a FREE ROOFING QUOTE at 877-773-7581.
Why Garland Roofing Estimates over-the-phone are Bogus
Image this Scenario
Would you expect a plumber to guess what's wrong with your plumbing without looking at any pipes? How about an appliance repairman to fix the dishwasher from the living room? How confident would you feel in a mechanic who diagnoses the problem with your car from across the parking lot?
Roofing Contractor Red Flag
As bad as all these examples sound, homeowners accept their equivalent all the time! When a roofing company sends a roofing contractor out to provide an estimate, some disreputable roofers will look up at the roof, talk to the homeowner and provide a price quote. Without stepping foot on the roof, it's very unlikely that they're able to provide an accurate quote.
Each home is different. There are different things on your roof that provide function to your home that must be accounted for. In addition there are many different types of shingles that you can put on your roof. If you haven't put a roof on a home in the last few years, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how many material options there are today and the different performances they are able to provide.
Just like tiling your kitchen is measured in tile and square footage, so too the cost dependent on roofing a home is dependent on square footage and an industry measurement known as a "roofing square."
Whenever you're having a roof replacement (or even a roof repair) done make sure that the roofers take the time to really examine your roof before providing their quote. You'll end up with a more detailed estimate for the work involved, and will have the confidence that this roofing company will provide the best quality of roof possible for the money.

Garland Richardson Radiant Barrier Roofing Contractor
As a local Garland roofing contractor we can help you go Green and save on your cooling / heating bills with radiant barrier roofing. Radiant barriers are installed in homes primarily to reduce summer heat gain, which helps lower cooling costs.
Our radiant barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects (or more technically, re-emits) radiant heat rather than absorbing it. They don't, however, reduce heat conduction like thermal insulation materials.
How Radiant Barrier Works
Heat travels from a warm area to a cool area by a combination of conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat flows by conduction from a hotter location within a material or assembly to a colder location. Radiant heat travels in a straight line away from any surface and heats anything solid that absorbs the incident energy.
When the sun heats your home's roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot. A large portion of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor. A radiant barrier reduces the radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic.
Radiant barriers are most effective in hot Texas climates, especially when cooling air ducts are located in the attic. Some studies show that radiant barriers can lower cooling costs between 5%–10% when used in a warm, sunny climate like Garland and Richardson. The reduced heat gain may even allow for a smaller air conditioning system. But in cool climates, it's usually more cost effective to install more than the minimum recommended level of insulation rather than a radiant barrier.
Types of Radiant Barriers
Radiant barriers come in a variety of forms, including reflective foil, reflective metal roof shingles, reflective laminated roof sheathing, and even reflective chips, which can be applied over loose-fill insulation. The reflective material, usually aluminum, is applied to one or both sides of a number of substrate materials. Substrate materials include craft paper, plastic films, cardboard, oriented strand board, and air infiltration barrier material. Some products are fiber-reinforced to increase the durability and ease of handling.
Also, radiant barriers can be combined with many types of standard home insulation materials. These combinations are called reflective insulation systems. In these combinations, radiant barriers can also act as the insulation's facing material.

I really don't think that the point of a gift is to be expensive in the first place. As long as it comes from the heart, it will always be well received. Nobody knows your loved ones better than you do.
There must be some hobbies or interests you know of that you could address. Try to think back and remember if they expressed a desire to have something in the past. If you could get that item, no matter what the price, it is pretty much guarantied to be appreciated. It sounds like it was a really good gift. Since they said you were sweet and everything for it and it was a nice gift so it was ok.
Don't worry about the gift. I wouldn't ask them about the gift because I'm pretty sure he/she likes it. But you could write them a note or something and ask how there day was or whatever and then include one sentence saying how you hope they liked the gift. So just write him/her a note or however you want to talk to them and just say something like I hope you liked it. A ring sounds nice.
If you think they'll like it then by all means you could give that to him/her. To give other ideas you could give him/her cologne/perfume they might like, and remember some guys/girls like to shop too so you could take them shopping for clothes. If he/she plays a certain sport, then sports equipment could work, or if he/she is into simpler things like books or whatever then that's always a good idea. But those are just examples. The ring really does sound nice and if you feel they like it then I am positive it's a good gift to give.
You can always create certain fun games for them. I did that for my special someone for there birthday. Like I created a little clue, sort of an inside joke. Like a mouse runs what's always at a wedding? And the answer was cheesecake. I did that and it was really fun because I made it up myself, they loved it, and it was just really nice.
So you can create your own game all about him/her. You could still do the breakfast thing, but be more creative. Like have him/her awake to a flower on there bed, if you can do that. Then when they come out they'll go to the kitchen area and see breakfast already made.
That way it's not exactly the normal breakfast in bed but something different and unique. And you can get gifts related to what he/she likes. If he/she likes to read then get them a couple of books that you know they'll love. Maybe get him/her a certain outfit they want. Or you can take them out to a certain place he/she loves, such as an amusement park or wherever. Just think of what he/she likes and get something related to it.
I actually think that the idea of breakfast in bed is fabulous! So what if it is, as you say, common? It makes a person feel very special regardless. That's the best way to make the day feel romantic right from the moment your partner wakes up. Then you can take them out for a nice walk in some scenic neighborhood, maybe a nice brunch and perhaps to a movie he/she likes later.
You can get flowers, which are always romantic. There are places in any city that you can visit that are either free or that charge very little for admission that are great to come to, especially on a special occasion such as this. There are beautiful parks, beaches and such where you could have a nice little picnic. Where I live there is a fabulous tropical plant conservatory that charges no admission. There are places such as small zoos or aquatic centers; there are also great museums and galleries that are interesting to visit.
You are doing it a bit last minute, but I'm sure you will plan a wonderful day for them! Last minute gifts are usually more difficult. What I tend to do with my gift-giving is do a lot of listening throughout the year. Your loved ones always indicate one way or another, they would like to have. So all you need to do is keep a little list of gift ideas, and when the time comes to go gift shopping, you'd already know what to get. The best gifts to give are things the person you're giving them to actually wants to have.
But that's long term. For this coming birthday just try to get them something you think they would enjoy. If he/she likes wearing jewelry, you can get them something small that would match there style.
Some costume jewelry or silver pieces that are out there are surprisingly inexpensive and none the less look absolutely stunning. If he/she is into music, get them a CD of an artist or a composer you know they would like. If he/she is into books, get them one from a writer he/she likes.
By the way, if he/she is a Harry Potter fan, the new one is being released on July 16th. You can pre-order it, and they'll get the book the same day it comes out. That's what I did for a friend that had a birthday early June that is a big fan of the series. So the idea really is just to try your best and give him/her something they would really enjoy having.

Discussion Post
- Think about new crimes that exist today that our founding fathers never dreamed of, and then consider crimes that were crimes back then (like having an ice cream soda, or shopping, on Sunday) – but are no longer – or crimes that are on the books today, but maybe should be removed. For example, think of some things that are illegal today that were not 100 years ago – like being able to purchase over-the-counter morphine. Or 13-year-old girls being able to get married without parental consent.
- On the other side, has anyone heard of people being prosecuted for committing adultery recently? (Other than in the military. ) It happened in NY just a few years ago in 2010:
Woman Charged With Adultery to Challenge New York Law
https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/woman-charged-adultery-challenge-york-law/story?id=10857437 - And then there are laws that perhaps go to far – at least 13 states require sex offender registration for public urination, according to Human Rights Watch's comprehensive review of sex offender laws in 2007.
So here is your challenge this week (this is what your post should be about): think about the key differences between criminal law and moral law, and how laws have changed over the last 200 or so years in the US. From the e-Activities: the Supplemental Resources, or other on-line research, here is where your research comes into play – provide one (1) specific example where the criminal law system legislated (or is legislating) conduct or morality. Discuss how or why that law was passed or is being considered for passage.

Project Arts Centre presents
By AC Productions
Shakespeare's classic comedy, transposed to 1960's Italy where wit is as sharp as the fashion.
Cupid has his work cut out for him as the reluctant lovers, Beatrice and Benedict, exchange a war of words. This battle of the sexes comedy contains live music, dancing, stolen identities, love at first sight, duplicitous friends, marriage interrupted, feigned deaths and plenty of fools. But, when all's said and done it's Much Ado About Nothing!
In the Bard's tale of barbed words and sparkling wit the path of true love certainly doesn't run smoothly.
"Sometimes even true love needs a nudge!"
"AC Productions' setting of the comedy in the light bright La Dolce Vita of Italien 1960s provides the right carefree environment that quickly becomes whipped into a ferment of outraged honour and mistaken intent" Irish Independent

Walk in Istanbul
Everyday moments of a city layered over the centuries. On the banks of the Bosphorus between the ferries and seagulls that split the air, culture breathes in every corner, the vibrations told in its lights and shadows that create that unique atmosphere of one of the most emblematic cities in the world. A cross between East and West, a strong and insatiable mix of cultures in an eternal city with its millenary charm to which it is impossible not to get carried away or feel part of sitting in a bar between a tea and a breath of chicha.

Jonny Bairstow scored an outstanding century against India on Sunday, Day 3 of the ongoing 5th Test against India at Edgbaston. It was a brilliant counter-attack of 119 balls 100 against Indian former captain Virat Kohli. Kohli and Bairstow were involved in a heated argument because Kohli seemed unhappy with Bairstow's words. Although Bairstow tried to calm things down, Kohli asked Bairstow to stop talking and focus on playing. The field umpires were also involved in the issue to calm things down. Jonny, infuriated by Kohli's behavior scored a century against India.
Bairstow scored 16 out of 65 balls before and his next 84 runs were scored off just 54 balls. The 32-year-old, accelerated by Kohli, scored his best to raise the score of his team. England actually resumed its score on 84/5 while they want to score the most to make a draw. But it was only Bairstow who played against India's impressive pace attack.
Bairstow scored a total of 106 runs out of 140 balls with 14 fours and 2 sixes. He scored his 14th four when Shardul Thakur's attempt on the cover rope was misplayed. It was Bairstow's 3rd hundred in the successive Tests and the century gave hope to England in the series. His century was actually a milestone for England to complete 284 runs in reply to India's 416 runs. His previous centuries were against New Zealand. He scored a match-winning 136 runs in the second Test and 162 in the third Test in the recently concluded Test with New Zealand.
Bairstow and Ben Stock build a superb partnership in the beginning by scoring a 50-run partnership. Bairstow fostered his 24th half-century in 84 balls and make Indian bowlers under pressure. But Shardul Thakur dismissed stokes in the 38th over and he left the team at a total of 149/6. Then Billings joined with Bairstow to build a 50-run partnership in just 48 balls. They took England's score at 200/6.
However, Bairstow was struck by Shami's 1st ball of his second delivery when an edged drive sailed for Virat Kohli itself at first slip. Kohli, with the allegation of the former verbal altercation with Bairstow, blew a kiss to celebrate the wicket. Even though Bairstow stated that it was nothing but just a battle between two competitive players, Kohli received contrasting views from fans and other cricket players across the world regarding the issue. While some credited Kohli, many called it initiating a beat as Bairstow scored a century after this. Twitter is loaded with slamming Kohli's aggressive attitude on the field without contributing much to the team.
When it comes to the end of Day 3, India is leading the Test by 257 runs. In the first innings, Captain Jasprit Bumrah took the team to a total of 416 runs. The second innings is ongoing with England yet to bat. Rishabh Pant (146) and Ravindra Jadeja (104) were the two leading batsmen for India.

What Is Weight Support Patch?
Weight Support Patch was designed to support anyone who is on the road of losing weight. The product comes in the form of weight support patches that should be directly applied to the skin. The formula has a timed release that lasts 12 hours from the moment you put on the patch.
The potential benefits include boosting your energy levels, as well as adjusting your metabolism in a way that weight loss and fat burning are promoted. The inclusion of Garcinia Cambogia may also assist in suppressing food cravings and appetite.
Weight Support Patch for weight support is made by the company of the same name. The goal of this manufacturer is to offer quality products that aim to boost your overall health and well-being. Their other patches include Vitamin D and Energy Support options, but they also have several products that can help you manage stress and blood sugar levels.
Weight Support Patch Ingredients and Why It Matters?
A single patch contains the following ingredients:
- Garcinia Cambogia Extract – This compound can boost metabolizing fat and help to maintain weight by preventing your body to store fats. It may also act as an appetite suppressant
- Quercetin – This is a component that has potent antioxidant properties and can help to stimulate a healthy inflammation response and boost immunity. It belongs to bioflavonoids that you can find in veggies and fruits
- Green Coffee Extract – The "green" means that the coffee beans used have not been roasted. This compound can promote weight management and help to balance your metabolism in a way that will boost losing weight
- CoQ10 – This is a coenzyme that has antioxidant properties. Our body naturally produces this component, but an additional amount may boost your energy levels and promote heart health
- Cosmoperine – Derived from black pepper, this compound serves to enhance the absorption of nutrients from other available ingredients
Weight Support Patch Review – Does It Really Work?
Let's take a moment to talk about the working process of Weight Support Patch. The product utilizes transdermal technology, which means that you apply it directly to your skin. The ingredients penetrate through the skin and enable your body to utilize the nutrients to support a weight loss program.
The patch has a timed release, which means that the ingredients from the formula gradually release over a 12-hour period. The manufacturer claims that way you ensure the slow but constant release of their formula, which secures sustained absorption.
What are the Pros of Weight Support Patch?
- The supplement could support weight management
- Maximum absorption of ingredients thanks to the inclusion of cosmoperine
What are the Cons of Weight Support Patch?
- Patches are only effective for 12 hours
- You might need to use a bandage if you are having trouble with applying the patch to the skin
How Much Does Weight Support Patch Cost?
If you just want to try Weight Support Patch, you can order a 5-day trial pack for $9.99. If you would like an entire pack, which should cover you for an entire month, you can purchase a bottle for $49.99. Alternatively, you can apply for a monthly subscription and get your product automatically delivered for $49.99 per month.
How Should You Take Weight Support Patch?
The product comes in form of patches that should be applied directly to the skin. The preferable areas are wrist, forearm, or upper arm, and you should make sure that the skin is dry and clean. You are welcome to change the position of the patch with every new use, but make sure not to apply it to the sensitive or damaged skin (rashes, sores, abrasions, wounds). A single patch lasts for 12 hours and you need to replace it after that time expires.
Who Should Avoid Taking This Diet Pill?
Keep in mind that slight redness or discoloration at the site of applying the patch is normal. However, if you notice severe irritation or rash, you should stop using the product and consult your doctor. Aside from that, the general precautions apply, which implies that Weight Support Patch is not suitable for minors and breastfeeding and nursing women.
Should You Buy Weight Support Patch?
Weight Support Patch offers an interesting approach to weight loss. First of all, it doesn't promise miracles, but it claims that it can help you in your efforts of losing extra pounds. Perhaps the crucial reason why you should consider purchasing this product is that it comes in form of patches.
If you are not a fan of capsules, this product may be an alternative that you can try, although you probably shouldn't expect the same effectiveness as with some other supplements.
Weight Support Patch – The Bottom Line
In most cases, we are dealing with capsules, but this product offers an alternative in the form of weight support patches. The patches contain ingredients that can promote weight loss and may even boost your energy. However, a drawback that we have to mention is that the amounts of ingredients per serving are rather limited, which implies that you should also expect limited effectiveness of this product.
After all, even the manufacturer doesn't promise miracles from Weight Support Patch, but a product that promotes weight management. The good news is that timed release and inclusion of cosmoperine may help with the absorption of other ingredients, but keep in mind that the product only comes in the form of patches that are effective for just 12 hours. It might be wise to keep your options open and check out other alternatives available on the market before making a buying decision.

The Holiday
As an eight year old living in Newcastle, a holiday to Seahouses was a welcome change, replacing the same old sight of terraced houses with golden beaches and beautiful countryside.
My name is Eileen Fowler and I have lived in Newcastle for most of my 63 years. I lived in a typical terraced street, a bit of a garden front and back, surrounded by rows and rows of the same terraced streets.
My parents lived in the same street for nearly forty years but in three different houses. We lived at No.4, moved across the road to No.3 as it had an extra room to fit four children into. My parents moved when we were grown up but after about twelve months they went back to the same street, to No.2.
Alas I digress. This is about my first holiday.
When I was 8 or 9 I went to a magical place called Seahouses and stayed in a caravan with my parents and three brothers. It was a fantastic place, golden beaches, countryside, so different from where I lived. I made a friend, Avis, on my first day and we went shell picking every morning under that hot sun until I had a fine collection. Sadly, I left them under the caravan when our holiday was over.
This wonderful holiday gave me such a love of beaches and countryside which has never left me. It was another seven or eight years before I had my second holiday but I never forgot my first two weeks in Paradise.

News Story
With next president, Temple needs to demonstrate commitment to diversity, students and faculty say
PHILADELPHIA — Students and faculty at Temple University are crediting outgoing university President Richard M. Englert for what they said was a demonstrable commitment to the state-related institution. But they have some very specific expectations of his eventual replacement.
Rising senior Lily Sanders told the Capital-Star that she couldn't think of a "glaring weakness," in Englert's tenure, but she did say that the "the consideration of building a stadium under his presidency was a huge misstep."
"Temple's increasing encroachment on the North Philadelphia community is something that I find deeply problematic," Sanders said.
Englert, a 45-year Temple veteran, announced his retirement Wednesday. He called the decision to step down "bittersweet," the Philadelphia Tribune, a publishing partner of the Capital-Star, reported.
Under Englert's guidance, the university welcomed its largest and most academically qualified classes of new students, broke records for freshman applications and experienced growth as a premier research institution. Temple had its first Rhodes Scholar and has seen a steady rise of national and international recognition for students through Fulbright and other scholarship programs, the Tribune reported.
Sanders told the Capital-Star that it's important that Englert's eventual replacement demonstrate a knowledge, acceptance of the surrounding North Philadelphia community. He or she should also focus on making the university a more inclusive environment.
"It would be great to see someone that has grown up in the surrounding community in our University's highest position," Sanders said. "However, I don't want the University to place a BIPOC or woman in that position as a form of tokenism or as a means of brushing concerns of systemic racism and Temple's continued support for the Philadelphia Police Department under the rug."
Nila Denise, a rising junior and political science major, said she'd like to see Englert replaced by a person of color.
"Since Temple is located in a predominately African American area, I feel that this type of change would truly inspire the community," Denise said. "Overall, I believe that this change would amplify the voices of black students, something much needed within these trying times."
Abbe Depretis, a communications and social influence professor said Englert "stepped in at a time when clear leadership was needed, and I think he did a good job at providing that steady hand," Depretis also credited Englert for keeping faculty in the loop when major events occurred.
Temple Field Hockey Head Coach Susan Ciufo said Englert "understood how the student-athletes represent the university in a positive light," Ciufo said.
After the field hockey team experienced an unexpected cancelation of an away game at Kent State University, Englert showed his support.
"Immediately I had a phone call with President Englert and he was very understanding, upset, and helped fight our battle to get reimbursed for our trip to Ohio." Ciufo said.
Temple University rising junior, Jackie Rappaport, a media studies and production major, said she'd found Englert friendly and involved with student life.
"I remember speaking with him at the Homecoming booth I ran, and he was not only eager to see what the Klein College of Media and Communication was presenting, he was also courteous in meeting my family," Rappaport said. "When a higher-up is present it shows, and it always did with President Englert."
The university plans to promptly move to form a selection committee to conduct a national search for a new president. Englert has agreed to stay on until his replacement is named, the Tribune reported.
For Depretis, "the timing is perfect to hire someone and send a message to the students, faculty and staff that diversity and inclusion are important to the future of the school."

The Chicago Cubs have claimed right-hander Carlos Gutierrez off of waivers from the Minnesota Twins, reports Carrie Muskat of MLB.com:
#Cubs claim RHP Carlos Gutierrez off waivers from #Twins. C Anthony Recker DFA
— Carrie Muskat (@CarrieMuskat) October 24, 2012
The 26-year-old Gutierrez, a first round pick by the Twins in the 2008 draft, has yet to make his major-league debut. He has racked up one hundred thirty-six appearances across five minor-league seasons -- mostly in relief -- but has not had much success above Single-A ball.
Gutierrez has spent most of the last three seasons at the Twins' Triple-A affiliate in Rochester, where he owns a 4.59 ERA and 9.1 K/9 in eighty-two and a third innings. The right-hander's 2012 season ended after just ten appearances because of a shoulder injury that required surgery in July. Gutierrez resumed throwing earlier this month and is expected to be at full strength come spring.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Gutierrez, the Cubs designated catcher Anthony Recker for assignment. Recker had been claimed off waivers from the Orioles in late August.

7Factor Apprenticeship Program
Building the good leaders of tomorrow
Starting January 2024
What is the 7Factor Apprenticeship Program?
The 7Factor Apprenticeship Program is a three-month, hands-on software and consulting opportunity for underrepresented individuals in the tech community.
7Factor Software is a human-centric software consulting company that recognizes the lack of diversity in tech. We know that differences in backgrounds, perspectives, and opinions lead to true collaboration that results in the best solutions, and believe companies are missing out on an abundance of talent by not recruiting or accepting a wider variety of candidates.
Whether you're self-taught, making a career change, or from a community currently underrepresented in the tech field, 7Factor is committed to providing you with the resources and on-site experience you need to grow in the software industry.
Applications for the 2024 Apprenticeship Program are closed. Please check back fall 2024 for our next round of applications.
Apprentices will be treated as software engineers from day one. Throughout the three-month journey, you will work under the close guidance of a staff engineer, who will also work on the same project. The role of the staff engineer is to act as a mentor and aid. Additionally, apprentices will meet periodically with an engineering manager to discuss career and program goals.
Apprentices and mentors will also have weekly check-ins with each other to share knowledge and work together. 7Factor believes in the power of small teams; apprentices will always be supported when solving problems.
We are firm believers that ideologies and mindset are superior to hard skills. Therefore, the ideal 7Factor apprentice:
- Has a strong desire to learn. You seek continuous improvement, yearn to know the reasons behind the code, and want to learn from others.
- Is a team player. You understand that collaboration is imperative. You are quick to help others and even quicker to ask questions.
- Loves tech. While you don't need to be an expert software engineer, a passion for technology is an important trait.
- Has medium to advanced computer skills in an operating system of your choice.
We understand that everyone's background is unique, but these general skills are beneficial:
- Experience working in a professional environment communicating with customers/clients.
- A highly self-motivated initiative-taker, and able to learn new concepts independently.
- Desire to show up on time, be respectful, and learn from experts. Humble attitude yet voraciously seeks out the advantages of opportunity.
- Organized, forward-thinking, and goal oriented.
In addition to working on a project for a 7Factor client, apprentices will participate in all 7Factor learning events and work toward the understanding of primary languages/frameworks.
Our goal is to provide skills and experiences to add to each apprentice's resume so that they have a launch point for their career at the end of the program.
First, you'll fill out our application form below, sharing some basic information as well as your answers to short essay questions about you, your programming journey, and your unique engineering talent.
Once you've submitted your application, our hiring managers will review your submission. Candidates moving on to the next step will go through the same interview process as all other 7Factor engineers. We will have a culture call, involving a 30-minute conversation with an engineering manager to see how you relate to our company culture. On an additional technical interview, we will simply see "what you can do." Feel free to show us anything you're excited about!
We value the time and energy you will be dedicating to our projects. All 7Factor apprentices will be paid a competitive hourly rate at 40 hours a week.
Please note: while this is a remote opportunity, you must live in the continental United States to be eligible. International candidates will not be accepted.
Apprentices will attend an initial three-day onboarding at our home office in Atlanta where you will get acquainted with your team and spun up on your project. Following your in-person onboarding, you will work with our fully remote teams from wherever you call home.

So I suppose Boise State's past success against Oklahoma in the Will You Marry Me? Bowl is as good a jumping off point for this discussion as any. Take it away, Andrea Adelson:
Is it any coincidence the College Football Playoff selection committee will put a premium on strength of schedule? All those knocks against Boise State in the BCS era will be magnified and scrutinized in a much bigger way now. That criterion makes it feel as though half the programs in college football are completely disqualified from playoff contention before the season even begins.
It is most certainly true that the BCS setup of the past was extremely limiting to teams in The American, Conference USA, and the Sun Belt, but the new setup is at least a little more forgiving than its predecessor. Right, Bill Hancock?
"I will say that my feeling is that those teams have a better opportunity through the playoff," said Bill Hancock, the College Football Playoff's executive director. "For one thing, there's two more slots available. For another, they'll be considered by a committee of human beings that will know every detail about all the teams."
Ah yes, but forgive me if I am not sold on the infallible judgement of someone like Mike Tranghese or Condoleeza Rice compared to a computer.
So where can an advantage be gained? Well, in the one area they have the most control over, which is strength of schedule. Or Is it?
"People are still waiting to see how they define strength of schedule," Boise State athletic director Mark Coyle said. "Does that vary year to year? You can have a schedule set for four, five years out and a team may look like they're going to be an asset to your schedule and then they may go through a difficult period where their strength of schedule is not so good. So it still has to be defined."
As Adelson points out, gone are the arbitrary benchmarks and loopholes that Group of Five teams need to meet and jump through, respectively, to get into a big time bowl game. The highest-ranked champion among all of them is guaranteed a spot in either the Cotton, Fiesta or Peach Bowl. She is also quick to point out that those bowl games are rather "been there, done that" for our squads, though those bowl games don't exactly have identical weights within the bowl food chain that they used to.
There is also that scheduling matter. I'm not sure exactly how much year-to-year fluctuation there is with program quality, such that you need to worry right now about exactly who you are scheduling in 2018. Simple solution: don't schedule Idaho or New Mexico State.
There are, no doubt, far more questions than there are answers right now about this College Football Playoff. However, I am sure that we will spend the entire season debating it (much like the BCS) which will clearly prove to the leadership that (much like the BCS) the system needs no changes.

Oh don't you just love those colors? I die every time I look at them. I've been talking so much stitching lately (well, relatively speaking), that I thought it was time for a little quilting talk. And I was completely inspired over the weekend to get out my fabric and get to sewing after visiting two new to me quilt shops. Everywhere I turned there was inspiration. But my fabric stash above was a purchase from a couple of months ago. I decided to use a part of my bonus from work to buy fabrics for a quilt I want to make. The fabrics are all Tula Pink from her Parisville line. Aren't they gorgeous? Don't the colors just remind you of macarons? I. am. in. love.
And you may recall that I've been carrying around some Parisville with me for a while now in the form of some beautiful project bags (here, here, and here). Plus, I made those fun hexagon pincushions with her more recent line Prince Charming. (I am clearly an addict!)
But I found the perfect quilt that I wanted to make with my treasured fabric…
Kiss Kiss also by Tula. I wanted a pattern to showcase those Marie Antoinette silhouettes, and I love the big Xs that make up the pattern. I'm so excited to get started. I have one thing I need to finish first – my Kate Spain Christmas quilt. But then? Kiss Kiss.
And Tula's also just come out with two new lines. The weekend of my Epic Stitching Get Together, we all piled in cars and headed over to a local quilt shop where I managed to score some fat quarters of Nightshade.
I can't wait to sew with this. It's equally beautiful in person, but so different. I wish I'd found some of the main cameo fabric, but I'm sure I'll be getting more of this in the future. But I'm so excited to cut some fabric and do some sewing!!!
And I've been thinking I needed to take some more photos of our boys. Can you believe we've had these guys a month? This photo is from when they got their new collars. They are so much bigger now, and look so different!
But taking photos of two black kittens is proving to be almost impossible. Most of my photos end up looking like this…
Or this…
But finally, after many many many attempts, I finally got a few good ones. This is Ramses.
With his pretty green eyes.
And this is Thutmose, with his gold eyes and little white spot.
I can't believe the difference a month makes.
They've pretty much lost all their kitten fuzz, and they are growing like weeds!
Anyway, hope you are all managing to stay cool and work on whatever crafty thing makes your heart sing. I'm stitching along on Isabella and on ATS, but I'm hoping there's some quilting gonna happen soon!
I am grateful for lots of inspiration, and two little black bundles of joy.

tammy's blog about
AI alignment,
and more;
chaos magick is the notion that people can "determine" (mostly in the causal sense, but also in the informational sense) aspects of reality by sufficiently convincing themselves that something is or will be the case.
the practicals are a bit more complicated (one is encouraged, for example, to enter a state of "temporary belief" in a deity and delude yourself into thinking that that deity will accomplish the thing, because that's a more efficient way to trick the brain into thinking that it will happen), and the mechanism by which this is to happen is not clear; but nonetheless the trope of determination-powered magic can be found in many works.
some examples follow.
a common trope in fiction, but most notably anime and other japanese pop culture, is determination-powered magic. in fact, it's arguably a central theme of many anime, and in other works can retroactively justify more reasonably a lot of "power of friendship/love" tropes.
in a previous post, i define the "freedom" i want people to have to be one of what people decide to do, as opposed to what they want or might choose.
a ramification of this is that in such a world people's accomplishment would tend to scale to their determination; where what you influence is a function of how much you are truly deciding to do it. thus, if there is no way for chaos magick to be real at the moment (which appears to be the case), aligning a superintelligence to value freedom to do what one decides would de facto implement a world in which a form of determination-magick would be real.
as per the previous point, aligned freedom-valuing singularity could be seen as making anime real, just more of in a profound philosophical structure of reality way rather than in an aesthetic way.
"dark arts of rationality" is a post about manipulating one's brain in unsafe ways to produce outcomes, notably in one's own behavior. this could be seen as more refined and rationally thought-out forms of psychological-model magic.

The production base of "KUL" OOD has implemented and running 24 hours a day machine "Geko", which serves for the recycling of fresh concrete with a capacity of 15 m3 per hour. The machine plays a fundamental role in the process of generating the waste mass in the production of concrete mixtures. The mass waste represents residual amounts of concrete solutions that are discarded on washing of concrete mixer machines and pumps after the execution of each delivery. Due to this machine, we managed to generate 100% of this waste back into production. The machine separates coarse aggregates from the cement solution, washing and taking them to dry, and then the same aggregates are being used as a raw material in the production. The dirty water / alkaline water / with a predominance of fine particles goes into a catchment pit. According to the current BDS EN 206:2013+А2:2021 и BDS EN 206:2013+A2:2021/NA:2021 for the production of concrete mixtures and solutions a part of this water is used back into production.
The Company's management has set the following targets for waste management:
- Reducing or limiting of the waste generation, according to its hazard degree;
- Environmentally-friendly waste treatment;
- Introducing a system of separate waste collection;
- Transmission of the waste for subsequent treatment to persons holding the relevant document under Article 12 of the Law on Waste Management;
- Provision of employees of the company with information on matters related to the proper management of waste;
- Improving the system for reporting and monitoring of waste activities as a precondition for proper assessment of the status and condition for making appropriate management decisions.

E-Book about kopano
Hi folks,
as I wrote 2 little books about Linux-server, I am thinking of doing the same about Kopano. What do you think about it?Would it be ok to write a book about it (rights? / Copyright…)
I asked @kopanosupport too, but got no answer.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @mcdaniels ,
if you messaged the username you mentioned in this post then I have to tell you that this is not an official Kopano account, but rather a reseller.
I'll write an email to the address associated to your account to discuss next steps.

Jessica Silverman Gallery: Kori Newkirk.
Comment by AB: A perfect tin can arc (a number of their interiors lined with glitter or different shades of paint), and a rectangular floor arrangement of clear water-absorbing spheres (absorption including the artist's bodily fluids as well), are among the objects of contemplation presented here. The show statement's a bit cryptic in terms of specifics, but seems to hint that the works are autobiographical and introspective in nature. Worth a visit.

Recology - Art at the Dump: Benjamin Cowden - Lunar Cassowaries; Ian Treasure - Road to Nowhere; Hannah Quinn - Beyond the Bower.
Comment by AB: Benjamin Cowden's wondrous kinetic sculptures include an electrified empty desk classroom, each desk equipped with a snapping wooden ruler; and a three-tiered toilet-tank wall fountain, a discretionary indiscretion that no hepcat penthouse pad should be without. Ian Treasure analogizes the repetitive travails of existence with a toy taxicab driving non-stop on an endless treadmill. Hannah Quinn shows off her considerable and creative woodworking and furniture-making skills. Good show on all counts. Recology = like. Go see.

Rapid prototyping technology has evolved from being an alternative for tooling to an option to create fully functional components or products given the types of resin that new printers are able to handle. The new builds can mimic the features and traits of any device created with an assembly line in a matter of hours. This is upping the ante and a way to show the reach of this tech.
The ongoing developments in the 3D printing market are kept continuous by quite a few players who keep doing their best to outdo their competitors. That's why the level of sophistication in this field is moving so fast. Developers are moving forward and manufacturing products beyond mechanical components. A lot of electromechanical products are done using these methods as well; the best part is the use of current tooling methods to create a fully functional prototype from ground zero.
Technology That Demands Ongoing Development
Research certainly seems to be focused on the creation of materials that prove to be manageable enough to be used in additive techniques. The possibilities so far seem to be endless, with 3D printers now being able to handle sturdier materials such as metal. We seem to be moving forward to the day when we can actually print an electric circuit using rapid prototyping China technology. The current issue that is being solved is the way to make conductive electrodes surfaces and print them as an integrated piece instead, thus bypassing the standard assembly required.
The ongoing need for 3D printing technology for manufacturing products is deemed essential in the current trends of development of our industrialized world. It can be quite hard to list the number of areas and markets where the tech is needed. The incorporation of new developments, as well as interactive tools for design, is something that happens at rates that weren't even viable just five years ago. If there is something that hasn't been tackled by a developer, they sure are eager to jump at the chance of doing so.
Companies Looking Beyond the Scope of Profits
You may be wondering why this willingness to go even further in a research field that seems to be very complicated even for project developers. The answer is quite simple: All these new advancements in the market will bring these companies more money. Don't take it wrong, many of the companies working on these discoveries have a very humane side to them, but the fact remains that they are business looking to make a profit. Engineers and designers are out to make the world an easier place to live in with their creations, but their applied sciences are created to cover demand in various growing markets.
Every time one of these companies come across a breakthrough discovery, they disrupt a market that keeps evolving with each new development. Is almost similar to a no-holds-barred fight where the one winning for being serviced is the customer. The lasting effect is seen in more complex communicational devices, handier smart tech and medical prostheses that can mimic the use of a lost limb. All this work is quickly improved as soon as it is introduced to the market, with each brand putting their own take of customized products to cover the needs of their clients.
Current Developments Being Tried and Tested
Let's take a look at one of the functional products already successful using 3D printing technology: electromagnetic speakers with a development based on the principles of electrostatic sound reproduction. The groundwork for the tech itself was first conceived way back in 1930. The engineering done on a 3D printed plaque is allowing one of the oldest sound technology to make a comeback supported by electronics while offering an enhanced level of sound quality that is only used on high-performance audio systems.
The technology can also be applied to the creation of new earpieces for the impaired using the basic principles that make a loudspeaker work. The integration of technology is one step away from being perfect because of the need to write the proper code into the piece that is powered by an outside source. Such a device could be considered a transducer since it helps to convert electric signals into audible waves. The technical implications are a bit too complicated for these lines, but it's something so good that the only setbacks on such a display of tech would be the means to have it function at all moments.
These developments are just an opening to a near future, where 3D printers will be capable of creating electrical plaques that will part of all our appliances. For companies working on China rapid prototyping is just the beginning of a long road of exploration that will demand funds, but will also grant a great deal of benefits to every user in the world.
