CHARLESTON - A prominent Charleston financial advisor has responded to allegations that he facilitated a misappropriation scheme.
Knox Fuqua and his attorney, Eric Snyder of Bailey and Glasser, denied the Securities and Exchange Commission's charges that were filed in federal court for the Southern District of West Virginia and state that he misappropriated $1.5 million.
The lawsuit alleges that Fuqua, from Jan. 2003-late 2005, took the money to pay for jewelry, groceries and other business expenses.
"The Securities and Exchange Commission lacks jurisdiction over Defendant Fuqua," the response says. "Wherefore (he) respectfully requests that the complaint of Plaintiff... be dismissed and that Plaintiff take no relief, including compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, costs or attorneys fees from Defendant Fuqua."
Fuqua created Kanawha Investment & Trust Co. and Appalachian Asset Management and manages the AAM Equity Fund
The complaint says Fuqua used two investment vehicles to facilitate his scheme, the Fixed Income Fund and AAM Investments.
"Fuqua funneled his clients' money through these investment vehicles and into banks accounts that he alone controlled, recording these transfers as purported loans," the complaint says. "Fuqua then used the client funds transferred into these bank accounts to repay other clients wanting to redeem their investments, to pay business expenses and to siphon over $200,000 to pay a multitude of personal expenses."
The SEC says Fuqua misappropriated $300,000 from Monica Hatfield, $600,000 from Retina Consultants, owned by Hatfield's husband Mark, and another $600,000 from Community Health Systems. The organization claims he ignored those clients' requests and put the funds in his own vehicles.
Fuqua used funds from AAM Investments to buy resort rental property on Kiawah, S.C., the complaint says. It adds that he and his family used the property for seven months a year and used rental income that should have gone back to AAM's shareholders to pay his family's personal resort expenses.
Inside the house was a placard that said, "Welcome to the Fuquas."
The SEC seeks judgment against Fuqua finding that he violated securities laws, ordering him to disgorge all ill-gotten gains and pay civil penalties.
David Williams is representing the SEC. Other federal lawsuits filed by the U.S. Department of Labor and a Virginia brokerage firm are pending against Fuqua
Judge John Copenhaver has been assigned the case.

UFC Fight Night 114 reactions: Winning and losing fighters on social media
Since the early days when the sport was anything but a mainstream endeavor, the MMA industry has thrived and survived through various websites, forums and, perhaps most importantly, social-media platforms.
Fighters interact with fans, each other and many more through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes.
Following Saturday's UFC Fight Night 114 event in Mexico City, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.
Check out some of those reactions.

Say what you want, I won that fight. I just rewatched it. I got robbed my second check 💰💰. Look at my stats, I finish fights. If u think I wasn't trying to finish last night you are wrong! It's hard to finish a guy who doesn't want to fight and circle and runs, real talk it really is. I was still throwing 🔥. Wtf did he do to beat me? Ride me for 1.30 minutes total of the fight? And save that stay humble stuff. I wake up humble everyday. U don't know what I been through to tell me that, you don't know what I fight in my mind everyday for 9 years. I am humble, that is why I work my ass off. I had so much fun in there last night and I felt like myself, I felt like I was at home. Too bad I got robbed. For all the supporters, real supporters that I try to put on for, thank you, I ❤ all of you. For the rest of you that love to see me fail… ✌ I pay no mind to you anymore.

It all begins in your mind. Your mind is an important battlefield, the thoughts and the pictures you see in your mind often end up manifesting on the outside. So don't accept the negative thoughts that the world throws at you or believe that you deserve illness, poverty and depression. Jesus has already redeemed you from all that. If you want to see good in your life, start to prosper in your thinking and see yourself victorious over your circumstances! #StayChoppin

Americans expect Irish students to seek J1 visas
The US administration has moved to play down fears over new rules requiring students to have jobs pre-arranged before travelling to America on J1 visas next summer.
Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said yesterday he was concerned at the new rules, fearing they might reduce the number of Irish students using the programme, which is 50 years in existence next year.
More than 150,000 Irish students have travelled to the States since 1966, and the US embassy here believes all 7,000 available places will be taken up next year.
It is understood the Americans are surprised at the Irish response, believing the new system works better for everyone.
The US embassy in Dublin said the decision to introduce "pre-placement" to the scheme was not taken by its government but by the independent agencies that run the scheme.
"These independent US sponsoring agencies serve as authorities that vet and sponsor J1 participants worldwide and provide them with the documentation necessary to obtain a J1 visa from the US State Department," said an embassy spokesperson. She stressed that the changes were being introduced globally to exchange programmes, and not only for Irish students.
"The pre-placement requirement is designed to ensure greater safety and security of participants, greater compliance and a more rewarding cultural experience in the United States."
But Mr Flanagan said he learned of the new rules "with some concern" and said he had written to US Secretary of State John Kerry in recent days and raised the matter directly with ambassador Kevin O'Malley.

It's too easy to think of life in today's world as so far removed from biblical times that those words, written so long ago, may not have much relevance for today. As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth. Although we tend to think of New Testament Christians as living in a vastly different context than we are living in today, the similarities are much greater than the differences. The human heart is the same. The Gospel truth is the same. And the pressures that Christians face, when you reduce it to the essentials, are really not that different after all.
James is a practical book written to 1st century Christians who are trying to live out their faith in the midst of a hostile culture. They are people like you and me who spiritually are swimming upstream in a downstream world. If they are going to survive, they need a faith that is deeper than words – a faith that will survive testing at every level and on every front.
A Christianity that is based on convenience and comfort will not last. Only a belief that is grounded in conviction will stay the course. And that kind of belief will manifest itself in behavior that is conformed to Scriptural conviction—not the surrounding culture.
Christianity in this kind of culture is not for cowards. It is for men and women who are committed to maturing in their faith and commitment to Christ and His Word.
But what does a mature faith look like? What are the marks of this kind of faith? James points the way with three important markers: this kind of faith is a faith that rightly responds to trials (1:2-12), temptation (1:13-18), and truth (1:19-27).
Our response to truth is especially significant because it is foundational to the others. If I respond correctly to truth, then I will "count it all joy" (1:2) when facing various trials. And if I respond correctly to truth, then I will refuse the strong pull of temptation, knowing that it leads to death and steals from God's purpose of producing fruit in my life.
James tells believers that they will know they are growing and maturing in their walk with God when they are consistently and correctly responding to God's Truth.
So what does that response look like when it gets up out of bed?
Receiving God's Word
Responding to God's Word, of course, assumes receiving God's Word. Mature Christians will be on the lookout, listening and learning from the words of Scripture. They will demonstrate humility in their attentiveness to God's voice and submissiveness in their attitude toward God's Word.
In the words of James, they will be "swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger" (1:19).
We may often think of these instructions when it comes to our relationships with others, but this passage noticeably links these commands and our reception and response to God's Word.
Responding to God's Word
As you attentively listen and submit to Scripture, there is an inevitable effect – your life will change! You will be cleansed of sin and will progress towards purity.
Before hearing the Word, we were covered in filth and overflowing with wickedness. But now we are under the purifying power of God's Word. In a sense, submitting to God is like placing yourself under the sanctifying shower of Scripture!
Reflecting God's Word
Properly responding to God's Word means His Word will not end at our ears. It will make its way into our life.
God reveals Himself to us through His Word in order that we may reveal Him to others through a life conformed by His Word. In other words, a mature Christian is one who reflects the Word personally and publicly in his daily life.
Those who are only hearers of God's Word are like those who see themselves in mirror, notice a blemish, and yet walk away without any change. What is sad is that they miss more than just an opportunity for sanctification. Think about it – what about all the people who have to look at that blemish throughout the day? They are missing out as well!
This is the glorious opportunity we have when we humbly receive and properly respond to God's Word – we can reflect it to those around us!
So how are you doing? How well are you actually applying what God says to you in the Word to your life? You have wonderful devotions, but did they actually change your life? You listen and take great notes from the sermons each week, but how are you actually conforming your character and your conduct?
The person who will be blessed is not the one who reads their Bible or has a deep knowledge of truth. The blessed one actually applies what they know so that their life is conformed to truth.
Here's some areas to think about:
Your Speech
"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." (1:26)
Your Service
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction…" (1:27a)
Your Separation
"…and to keep himself unspotted from the world" (1:27b)
The problem with not bothering to live like this is that it makes our "religion" worthless. It will have no weight.
If our speech, conduct, and character is more like the world's than God's, then those who are touched by our lives will find our "religion" absolutely weightless and worthless! It will have no impact—in fact, it will actually turn people away from God.
If we want to make a difference for God, we must commit ourselves to correctly respond to God's Word in order that we may accurately reflect God to the world around us.
These ancient words actually bring us a very relevant and timely message. A deep faith maturely responding to God's truth will bring forth a changed life that now reflects that truth to the world. By God's grace, let your hearing of God's Word result in reflecting God's Word so that your life of humble submission may be a glorious display of Gospel Truth.

Laser Cutting Machine in Decoration Industry
In this study, a cadmium sulfide (CdS) line with a diameter of 204 nm and a length of 15 μm was used as the core design of the optical cavity (Fig. 1). The high refractive index of the nanowires causes the incident light to have a high reflectivity factor at the end face and be guided by the nanowires. This arrangement forms the Fabry-Burrow cavity, which, when activated by an external light source, forms a laser. The blue laser wavelength thus formed depends on the refractive index around it. By measuring the wavelength of the laser output, the refractive index of the liquid immersed in the nanowires can be determined.
There are a variety of methods for surface nanocrystallization of materials. There are a large number of surface nanocrystallization technologies. It is a surface layer which can realize the nano-characteristics by means of laser surface treatment technology and nanometer technology. It can be collectively referred to as laser surface nanocrystallization technology; More generally referred to as laser nano-surface engineering technology, is directly or mainly the use of laser this specific technical means to directly change or add material to change the surface of the solid material is treated, the composition or structure, so that the formation of nano-crystal Grain or a certain nanoparticle composition of the surface layer. Or the use of high power laser etching, laser embossing, laser hair, laser micro-nano modeling and other means to achieve nano-structure on the surface of the material.
Laser shock peening (LSP) is a kind of high and new technology to improve the fatigue, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metal materials by using plasma shock wave produced by laser beams. The impact of laser surface nanocrystallization technology as shown in Figure 6, when the short pulse (NS) high power density (GW/cm2) of the laser irradiation to the metal surface absorption layer, absorbing layer to absorb laser energy explosive vaporization, high pressure (GPa) plasma, the plasma is constrained layer constraint, produce high impact wave effect on the metal surface and to the internal communication, the formation of dislocation structure dense and stable on the surface of the material, plastic deformation by dislocation slip, and the shock wave at the grain boundary reflection and refraction, the shock wave in multi direction effect on grain, thus the complexity of the dislocation slip, agglomeration and annihilation after the formation of new grain boundary, sub grain formation and smaller nanocrystals.
Air cutting: the advantage is very low processing costs, only need to consider the green laser pointer itself and air compressor electricity can be, without the need to produce high auxiliary gas costs, and cutting efficiency in the sheet can match the nitrogen cutting, is a kind of economic And efficient cutting method. But the shortcomings in the cutting surface is also obvious. First of all, the air cutting section will produce the bottom of the burr, laser processing products must also go through the deburring and other secondary processing, is not conducive to the entire product production cycle. Second, the air cutting section is easy to black, affecting the quality of the product. Therefore, the green laser pointer processing without the need for follow-up can not be reflected, so in the galvanized steel for the processing, many companies are reluctant to choose the way of air cutting.
At present, the stainless steel laser cutting machine with its beam of good quality, high precision, small slits, smooth cut, flexible cutting arbitrary graphics and other characteristics are widely used in metal processing industry, decoration engineering industry is no exception, the following we look at Look at the application of stainless steel laser pen cutting machine in decoration industry.
Laser cutting system is constantly improving the high-tech, information technology, relative to the traditional mechanical manufacturing technology, another revolution, the stainless steel decoration industry has produced a huge role in promoting. With the increasingly fierce market competition, the technology will play an increasingly important role, and bring huge economic benefits.

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood (MP3 CD)
Staff Reviews
How is it that after spending four winters in Cape Town working on and reading about post-Apartheid South Africa that I remained relatively clueless about the complexity of the race question until I read this book? Stir in his childhood stories of being dragooned into multiple all Sunday church services by his formidable mama, and the result is pure joy and wonder. How did he survive to become the comic he is, or maybe, how could he have become who he is without growing up as he did? I haven't a clue but do know the clarity of his writing and his life as a kid in the fascinating mess of South Africa made for a marvelous read.— Dave
December 2016 Indie Next List
"Noah's perspective of growing up as the son of a black woman and white man in South Africa during apartheid, mixed with his trademark humor, is both insightful and poignant. We in the U.S. are often presented with what Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has termed 'the danger of the single story,' which depicts history only from the point of view of the oppressors. It is refreshing and enlightening to learn history from someone directly affected by the heinousness of the apartheid laws."

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime story of one man's coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times - Newsday - Esquire - NPR - Booklist
Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa's tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man's relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother--his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother's unconventional, unconditional love.
Praise for Born a Crime
" A] compelling new memoir . . . By turns alarming, sad and funny, Trevor Noah's] book provides a harrowing look, through the prism of Mr. Noah's family, at life in South Africa under apartheid. . . . Born a Crime is not just an unnerving account of growing up in South Africa under apartheid, but a love letter to the author's remarkable mother."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
" An] unforgettable memoir."--Parade
"What makes Born a Crime such a soul-nourishing pleasure, even with all its darker edges and perilous turns, is reading Noah recount in brisk, warmly conversational prose how he learned to negotiate his way through the bullying and ostracism. . . . What also helped was having a mother like Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah. . . . Consider Born a Crime another such gift to her--and an enormous gift to the rest of us."--USA Today
" Noah] thrives with the help of his astonishingly fearless mother. . . . Their fierce bond makes this story soar."--People

Did you know my brother Jacob served in the Peace Corps too?
When I was in my last 2 years of college, Jacob was completing his service in the country of Madagascar, the small island off the southeastern coast of Africa.
Over the past few months, I've been thinking about how different our experiences have been so I asked him if he would share a little bit about his time in Madagascar.
He said yes! Phew. Like he had a choice. So I threw some interview questions at him and today, we're going to relive his experiences.
When and where did you serve in the Peace Corps? Did you get to pick your country?
What program did you do? What was your title?
I served in the education sector and taught English. I was referred to as a TEFL volunteer (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).
How long was your flight to Madagascar?
Where did you live? What was your house like? Did you live with a host family?
What was the climate like where you lived?
The climate where I lived was dry and hot most of the year. But for a few months we received heavy rainfall, which made the one road going through our town virtually impassable.
This is different than in the capital, where the elevation is much higher. Much to my surprise Tana was very cold when I arrived!
What was your transportation like in and out of your site?
Transportation in and out of our site was truly dismal. In fact, as I note below, our region was known as the black hole because the roads were all but impassable most of the year. During the rainy season, it would take the entire day to travel about 40 miles because the roads turn to mud. One day a bunch of trucks got stuck in the mud and all we could do was spend the night on the road in the car.
People typically travel in vans called "taxi brousses." These vans would seat about 8 people comfortably but were routinely packed with close to 20. Roads in most places outside the capital were terrible.
What was your daily routine? Weekly routine?
My daily routine varied. But for awhile I was waking up super early in the morning at 4:30 to run. Before that I had tried running at 7:00am but by Malagasy standards that is already midday so I would get lots of stares. I also liked the experience of waking up with everyone, smelling the coal fires in the morning.
Then I would go get breakfast at the market or stop by a local coffee place and get coffee with "mofogasy" (small bread made from rice flour). Then I would head home and get ready to teach. I tried to consolidate all my classes. At night I would work out, have a Tsimihety (language) lesson, or work on extracurricular activities like my English club.
What did you eat? What were your favorite foods?
As a side note, touching dogs was also out of the question. Occasionally I would treat myself to a local homemade yoghurt between classes.During the rainy season—my favorite time of the year—I would go mango picking or buy lychee by the basketful. Students would also bring me mangos by the basket. We had round mangos, long mangos, giant mangos, little mangos, Diego mangos—who knew there were so many types of mangos! There was also a small hotel in my town run by people of Indian descent (called katana in Madagascar). The owners of the hotel kind of took me under there wing and made me food sometimes.
Aside from that hotel, which made amazing food, I cannot recommend the cuisine of Madagascar. Strangely, the same menu of ten or so items has percolated throughout the entire country. So everywhere you go you see the same things—chicken in broth, chicken in sauce, beef in broth, beef in sauce. Eating out was tricky sometimes as a vegetarian.
What was your connectivity like? How did you call home?
Connectivity was extremely minimal. There was no internet at site aside from a prohibitively expensive (and slow) shop in town that had one computer. The only time we really got online was once a month when we went to a bigger town approximately 5 hours away from site and even then the speeds were dismal. Skype and other data-heavy communication was reserved only for the few times a year we made it into the capital.
We did have phones however. And our phones came with one free text message per day, which was a treat.
What language did you speak? What was your language training like?
While Madagascar is a francophone country (speaks French), we learned the local language called Malagasy with our host families. Once we were assigned to our sites, our classes shifted to learning the local dialect. My dialect was called Tsimihety, which means "those who don't cut their hair" as the people of the region supposedly had long hair in the past.
Once I got to site, I hired one of my friends to give me Tsimihety lessons and by the end of my time there I was dropping Tsimihety proverbs in every discussion and in my class. Tsimihety has the most amazing proverbs. They Tsimihety have a great sense of humor, though often at the expense of old women or chameleons. When I would tell my students they needed to study English like an old woman swimming—focused and not smiling, they would burst out laughing.
How close was the nearest volunteer to you?
The closest volunteer to me was 5 hours by car if the roads were good. If the roads weren't good, as they often were during the rainy season, it could take up to 9 hours to get to her location. Our region had the nickname of being called "the black hole," due to the lack of volunteers and the impassable roads that prohibited travel. I was lucky though because we got along really well. So well in fact that we ended up getting married after Peace Corps.
What sort of work did you do in your site? What was your biggest project you worked on?
The biggest project was a world map, a map of Madagascar, and two English language resource centers (see pictures). In hindsight I wish I would have engaged people more, but it certainly was a hit in the community and mind-blowing for a lot of people. People would look at the map and ask how long by car it would take to get the United States.
What was your favorite part about your Peace Corps experience?
- Working at the grassroots level and having to depend on relationships and networks to get things done as opposed to money
- Having the strongest possible incentive to learn a language (and one that I will probably never speak again)
- Having lots of time to read books
- Making great friends from a part of the world I never expected to be
- Experiencing the feeling of being an outsider and a minority
- Waking up everyday and wondering how I was going to help improve the community.
- Speaking to someone in the local language and them knowing immediately that I must be an American PCV, because only an American PCV would care to learn the local language.
By the way here is a short animated short film that captures the essence of Madagascar. The film starts in the capital of Antananarivo. The protagonist goes to a "famadiana" which is a ritual in which the Malagasy exhume the corpse in order to wrap fresh clothe around it. I love watching the brousses (vans) and lemurs.

Communist Plot of Correctness

Jack O'Mahoff is absolutely right about the creeping Commie kudzu of political correctness. These Fascists want to force me to respect every Fag, Negro, Gook, Spic and Bitch I encounter on a daily basis. They even want me to let them in the Petroleum Club as if they were Ragheads with oil money. Well, FUCK YOU THOUGHT POLICE! My mind is blissfully free of any concern for these ignorant inferiors unless they serve my immediate needs.
When white men ruled the world as God intended, I was free to say and do whatever I wanted to these assorted foreigners and freaks. As if the results of the 2012 election were not disgusting enough, I am now expected to watch what I say and even treat them as equal? What the hell is happening in this blessed nation of ours? My new goal is to viciously insult anyone with the temerity to evidence any deviation from the norm. And I represent the norm according to every righteous standard. So take that you PC pussys! Just like the Godly Arizona woman who ran over her husband when he voted for B'Joke Hussy O'SecondTerm, I hope I can run my American built gas guzzling luxury car right over the lazy asses of these "Have a Nice Day" spouting socialists. To All of you who disagree: if you REALLY want me to have a nice day: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY OR DROP DEAD!!!Back

Christmas festivities are over – either you had a great time or you didn't, but it feels like everyone else did – and funds may be low, but don't despair there are plenty of ways to beat the January blues.
Here are some of our tips:
1.Get as much daylight as possible
Lack of daylight in January can be a reason why so many people feel low and lacking energy. Why not get out and take a walk.
The Burnt Wood offers lots of pathways and routes, or you could head up to the Dorothy Clive Garden (weekends only) and stroll around their woodland quarry and see their brand new Winter Garden. Dogs are allowed on leads.
2. Exercise
One of the best ways to fight depression and improve wellbeing and mood. The good news is that it doesn't have to mean getting hot and sweaty – a brisk walk is perfect (and as mentioned above gives you daylight, too.) You may not fancy exercise but you'll feel much better afterwards. How about taking dance lessons? This is a great way to stay fit and you can socialise too! Head to Ashley Memorial Hall on a Monday evening and learn how to ball room dance. Lessons cost £2 per person and start at 8pm to 9pm.
3. Read for Pleasure
Burying yourself in a gripping book of your choice is a great way to take your mind off feeling low. Reading for pleasure has so many health benefits.
And if you are on a budget, join the Market Drayton Library for free and borrow a book.
4. Eat properly
When feeling down, we are often drawn to sugar and junk food and we eat too little or too much. You can improve how you feel by eating a good, varied diet with things like nuts, fruit and veg, dairy, fish, pulses and grains. Learn to cook! What we put in our bodies makes a difference. You can find some lovely fresh food at our local farm shops in TF9 areas.
5. Do something new
How will you make this year a different one rather than waiting for it to happen to you? On your own or with a friend, throw ideas around till you find one thing you'd love to achieve, do or learn this year. Work out what steps you need to take. Make a plan and start the first step.
Why not volunteer for a local club, society or organisation. For example, try the volunteers weekend at Fordhall Farm or join the local branch of the WI.
6. You are not alone
Lots of your friends and peers will be going through the same or similar feelings, but you may not realise it. Find someone to talk to – a friend or a trusted adult. Or team up with a friend to support each other. You could try the Loggerheads and District Befrienders, who extend a hand of friendship and join you for a cuppa and a chat, contact Kathleen Pemberton on email@example.com or call 01630 674365.
Spring and lighter days are not far away! Until then, take care of yourself and let the people who love you help you.

Add libgl support to WSL
There are many development tools unable to be ported to Windows due to their proprietary nature and others that though not proprietary have no interest in porting to Windows. For me specifically, it's being able to utilize dev tools such as VSCode, Sublime Text, Draft, Javalin, Bootsnap, OSQuery, and/or FSQL without downloading a third party X server that only does partial implementation. Libgl is specifically required to get GUI apps to run and doesn't currently exist. Please implement libgl and create an API for driver makers to use to enable use of these and other GUI dev tools.
1 comment
WSLUser commented
I feel I should make a slight adjustment to my OP. Libgl is there because it is of course installed with the distro but is unimplemented in the sense that there's no way to use it with the underlying hardware and only software-rendering via XMING or VcxSrv is achievable because of course opengl is already in linux space.

CAG: Air pollution rocketing in Bihar but check mechanism lacking
The comptroller and auditor general of India's latest report, tabled in the Bihar legislature, says the state government needs to do more to check vehicular pollutionindia Updated: Mar 29, 2017 16:44 IST
The comptroller and auditor general (CAG) of India has asked the Bihar government and its transport department to maintain a database of pollution testing stations.
It has also asked them to ensure that the tests they conduct were authentic and due procedure was followed while issuing pollution under control (PUC) certificates.
This would enable the department to control vehicular pollution in Patna and other places in Bihar, read the CAG report for the year ending March 2016, which was tabled in the state legislature on Monday.
The report said a scrutiny of records revealed that the office of the state transport commissioner (STC) was not maintaining the database of pollution testing stations in Bihar.
The absence of any control by STC over functioning of pollution testing stations could be the reason for increased vehicular pollution level, it added.
The CAG report said more than 80% people living in urban areas of the state were "exposed to air quality levels that exceeded the limits specified by World Health Organization (WHO)."
It quoted the Guidelines for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring, issued by Central Pollution Control Board, as saying that vehicular emission was a major source of respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) at 280 against permissible limit of 60 micrograms per cubic metre in Patna.
The report observed that Patna witnessed a steep increase in number of vehicles from 2.34 lakh on April 1, 2011 to 6.74 lakh on March 31, 2016.
"This made it clear the exponential increase in number of vehicles in Patna played an important role in the rise in pollution level in Patna," it said.
Scrutiny of records also revealed that gas analysers/smoke metres supplied by the centre, were issued to eight district transport officers (DTOs) and 22 MVIs to check if motor vehicles met emission and pollution control norms and to issue PUC certificates after charging a prescribed fee.
However, they were not utilised and kept idle.
"On being pointed out, the department stated (October 2016) that information was being sought from the officials concerned," the report added.
The report also said licences of 106 pollution testing stations were not renewed as the STC did not maintain database of pollution testing stations.
"Consequently, renewal fee of Rs 11.30 lakh was not realised," the report said, adding that the returns regarding the number of vehicles tested and revenue collected were not submitted by pollution testing stations.

I went snowboarding this weekend--for the first time in over a decade. We went to Hunter Mountain, just outside of Woodstock, NY. Let's just say that I'm grunting each time I stand up now--and am lucky that I didn't seriously hurt anything...With two weeks left until my medical insurance kicks in, perhaps snowboarding wasn't the smartest move. We got back last night, returning to a familiar altitude. I mentioned last week that I'm done with Winter, and am anxiously awaiting Spring. Wouldn't you know it, a single tree blooms in Van Vorst Park here in Jersey City, and already my Spring allergies are kicking in. Such is life--there's always something to complain about, and about a million other things to be grateful for that go unmentioned.
Speaking of things I'm grateful for, my new album Held Momentarily (coming sometime this Summer or early Fall) is really starting to take shape. I have finished recording several songs, and have hired someone to start mixing. Early mixes of Homesick are sounding so good. I can't wait to share it with you all. I will be starting a Pledge Music campaign (as soon as I force myself to record the requisite video intro).
A quick aside--while in Hunter, NY, we are breakfast at a place in Tannersville (just outside of Hunter) called Maggie's Krooked Cafe. There were postings citing the place as having one of the top 10 pancakes in the whole US. They have oats, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. This didn't immediately sound all that noteworthy--but I figured I should see what makes a pancake so heralded.
It was seriously the best pancake I've ever eaten--and Maggie was a truly kind owner and cook. If you're ever in the area, look her up. It might be a little pricey a breakfast (comparatively)...but it's worth every penny.
82: Neil Young -- Harvest (1972)
I have listened to Neil Young's "After The Gold Rush" but never this record.
I had heard two songs from this collection before, Old Man and Heart Of Gold. After several more listens this week, I would say those are two of the best songs ever written. The production is clean and timeless.
That high-hat line in Heart Of Gold, during the verses, is proof of what a little ingenuity in technique can do to take a song to an entirely different place. It's not a difficult rhythm at all--it's simple, but unexpected and perfect.
I read the 33 1/3 volume for this album last week as well, written by Sam Inglis. From a series that I love quite a bit, this is one I've enjoyed most so far. It's just a perfect amount of interesting back story to the making of this record, and Neil Young's meandering career via hindsight.
One theme that really captured my imagination was Neil Young's approach to recording. Early in his career, he was meticulous about recording every song perfectly--this was taken to extremes by Stephen Stills during his time with CSN&Y. With this, and Neil's trouble with his backing band getting into drugs, he started wanting to capture the urgency of a song as it is just born, even if the result was something less "perfect".
At that time, many Rock & Roll acts (including Bob Dylan for Blonde On Blonde) were taking advantage of the session musicians in Nashville. Nashville session players were known for their ability to read a song's chart a few times through and nail a pitch perfect recording. So this approach lent itself beautifully to his new recording goals.
Overall, I enjoyed the album very much. I don't love the orchestrated songs as much (A Man Needs A Maid or There's A World). They don't seem to match with the approach described above. But the live recording of The Needle And The Damage Done is so, so good. Tragic, but so good.

81: The Clash -- The Clash (1977)
Where do I begin with this one? Some of the things I love most about music--intricate melodies, lush chord changes, beautiful singing--are all decidedly not present here.
I don't like Punk music. I'm pretty sure Punk music doesn't like me either. I'm OK--you're OK.
But, I listened my avowed three times.
It was clear pretty early on that The Clash is leagues above any Punk I'd heard before. The guitar tone is so cool, fun and inviting. The drums vacillate between sneering attacks and surprising grooves.
In spite of myself, I found myself singing along to Police and Thieves as I vacuumed my apartment. That "Oh Yeah" refrain is beyond addictive. I also liked Garageland, especially the verse:
I don't wanna hear about what the rich are doing? I don't wanna go to where, where the rich are going? They think they're so clever, they think they're so right But the truth is only known by Wesley Snipes (okay, he says guttersnipes)
[embed light]http://open.spotify.com/user/jessecor/playlist/5r5D1yEkAIFSgCKEsFNWRb[/embed]
Again, I'm glad I listened to both of these records. I was surprised to find that I didn't hate The Clash as much as I thought I did--even though I'd never really given them a serious listen before.
Conversely, I really thought I would be blown away by Harvest. While I really loved a few of the tracks, the rest of the album left me cold and wanting more.

Have you got a little inventor in the making? Erin is very creative and her current big 'thing' is lego. We have always had lego in the house – who doesn't when you have three children! However, neither Chloe or Dyl spent hours building whereas Erin is totally engrossed in building things at the moment. I was therefore pleased to be offered The Little Inventors Handbook to Review.
At the weekend Erin sat at her desk for four hours solid as she built a three storey house. She loves both designing her own buildings or following sets and has a huge list of lego friends sets that she wants. Recognising that Erin enjoys these activities has encouraged me to look at similar types of challenges that will develop her interest in STEM.
One way I am supporting her learning in this area is by paying for an after school science club, I have decided this would be good for Erin because it is making slime, building construction tasks and basically, problem-solving which as we all know is an important part of learning. I am actively seeking ways to encourage this type of thinking and learning.
The biggest barrier we have at home to providing more STEM opportunities is my imagination! I struggle to find resources or come up with the ideas that Erin can then run away with. Therefore when I was sent The Little Inventors Handbook, which is published by Collins, I knew it would provide so many more opportunities to explore and become an ingenious inventor. The handbook offers a step by step guide to thinking up fantastical, funny or perfectly practical inventions with no limits!
What we really liked is that the book is designed to be written in and squiggled over. As you journey through the ideas of problems and problem solving young inventors are given the tools to help them solve problems. The book reminds us that many things were invented by accident including crisps and fireworks – who knew!! It encourages tweens to think outside the box and this is really enabled young people to ask questions and get more interested in STEM.
In the workplace we are going to face a skill shortage in science, engineering, and tech. Therefore I want Erin to feel comfortable with these concepts and believe that she is capable of working in this sector. This is also where the big financial rewards lay and again I have no problem with encouraging my children to aim for jobs that pay well and offer an exciting career. I aim to empower all children but especially girls who still seem to think that these are boy's subjects. The handbook celebrates the weird and wacky inventions but it also teaches our kids that by opening up your mind to this you never know when you will stumble on the big idea that does change lives.
The Little Inventors Handbook makes an ideal gift for young people and will certainly encourage and unlock your child's creativity and imagination.

"While analyses suggests that overall this level of debt is being serviced adequately, reports of nonbusiness bankruptcy filings reaching record highs in 2002 reveal that many consumers are experiencing significant financial crises," Greenspan said in prepared remarks to the annual meeting of a financial literacy coalition.

REVIEW: Grand Pacific, Manchester - 'A work of art'
By FIFTY FOUR AND COUNTING, 9 July 2018
I was fortunate to be able to visit a new addition to the Manchester restaurant scene called Grand Pacific.
The name conjures up all sorts of images, so a short study of the website presented me with images you would associate with the British Empire, stiff upper lip and a sense of decency to boot.
The website describes itself as: "Our homage to the golden age of high society, where deep rhythmic baselines writhe through the air and sweet botanicals tantalise the senses. The new home of exotic cuisine and sophisticated sipping looks forward to making your acquaintance."
So, with this description firmly implanted in my mind we set off for a Sunday lunch.
The entrance found just off King Street, in Spring Gardens, Manchester looks traditional and bank like in its appearance. Just inside the entrance a receptionist awaits to greet us and leads us up a very grand staircase to the first floor. Here you're eyes are treeted to a feast of grand high society decor, rich teak woods, lighting and a vision befitting of an early 1900's scene.
This place presents well and first impressions score high on my personal score sheet.
Food here could be described as pan Asian and themed to offer culinary delights with its own unique style and flare.
Our starters were a work of art, carefully presented to ensure that the visual feast would match every morsel. We started with Duck Gyoza and Thai Fish Cakes. Both dishes were part of an extensive well-balanced menu, with dishes of varying influences.
The main courses consisted of Sesame Crusted Tuna and Lamb Massaman Curry.
I like the menu, it covers all tastes and has original twists to most favourites. Order the Sunday Roast and the chef will be there carving the meat at your table.
At the far end of the dining area I heard music and took a wonder to see that it was a live quartet... lovely.
Desserts were tasty here and original too in what is clearly a unique setting for Manchester.
Grand Pacific offers something for most in what on the face of it should be a white glove traditional service, but is finds itself offering a much more informal approach.
Try it soon, you won't be disappointed.

I got back home to Austin yesterday. Luckily, I was able to squeeze in several days of photography and as you might expect, I shot like crazy. Even though the Fujifilm X100S was my primary camera and the Olympus E-PM2 my HDR on tripod camera, I still found some time to shoot iPhone Instagrams.
Did you follow my little excursions in the Netherlands on my Instagram? I'm posting my favorites here like I did my Singapore Instagrams. And in one sense, posting these shots is tacit acknowledgement that I now consider these images on par with my other photographic creations. They may not match the same absolute technical quality, but the creative energy behind them is no different from using my bigger and more expensive cameras.
I've learned to enjoy Instagram as its own form of social photography. It's light weight, casual and immediate. I would shoot occasionally, post processes and instantly upload, all on the iPhone. It gives me a visual diary as the trip progressed and it's a fun way to pass the time on trains. To truly appreciate them, they're best seen on modern high-resolution retina smartphone screens.
What's unique about this form of photography is that the image capture, processing, viewing, distribution and sharing all happens on one device. For people who have an iPhone 5S, their view of the photograph is exactly as I intended. There's no screen calibration or color matching issues. As an artist, that's awesome.
Computers are notoriously inconsistent image quality wise. They all have different monitors, video cards and color profiles that conspire to alter the artist's originally intended image. When I occasionally view my photos on a lesser computer, I'm aghast at how terrible they look. The colors are off or they are incapable of reproducing the full sRGB gamut. How many people color correct their screens using special hardware? I do and I can't claim that my profile is that accurate either.
The gold standard for photo viewing has always been the print. I've actually been (secretly) experimenting in this area, which I'll eventually talk about in future posts. Seeing my prints large on 13″ x 17" paper is fantastic — you see details that you miss on-screen. The downside, of course, is that you, the online viewer can't see them. The other major downside is that I don't get to post process the look of the image directly on the paper. There is a time-consuming and imperfect process of color calibrating the monitor to the printer in the hopes of producing output that resembles the screen. The dirty little secret is while the camera can shoot in sRGB, and the good monitors can display in sRGB, printers can't print in sRGB.
So in one sense, while my iPhone produces technically inferior images to my expensive dedicated cameras, the post processing and display pipeline is clearly superior. The small but high-res and colorful screens don't impress like a large print but they have the advantage of always being with you. These Instagrams become colorful jewels that can be shared with the world which have enough details to jog the imagination.
Ultimately, isn't that what counts? You view images with your eyes but you see them in your mind and feel them in your heart. These small square photos have a surprising ability to evoke feelings and memories, if not for strangers but certainly for the photographer. Perhaps that's why Instagram is so popular.

Pest infestation is one of the biggest problems for property owners. The destruction caused by pests doesn't only diminish curb appeal, but it also costs them a lot of money. These are the main reasons why pest control is always a leading component for lawn care. Gardeners have useful pieces of advice on how you can effectively discourage pests from appearing in your lawn and rendering it unsafe for your family to enjoy.
- Get rid of standing water. This will effectively ward off mosquitoes that are common carriers of diseases. While Connecticut is quite a long way away from California, where there's imminent threat of the Zika virus, it's best to be safe and rid your property of stagnant water where mosquitoes love to breed.
- Throw away piles of trimmings and grass clippings because bugs and rodents consider them ideal places for shelter and nesting. Likewise, leaves and clippings can become breeding places for bacteria that lead to plant diseases.
- If you have birdfeeders, keep the area where they're installed tidy and sweep away fallen seeds every day because a number of pests will feast on these. If you don't want pests coming over to your lawn, reserve the seeds for the birds only. Likewise, get rid of water in the feeders because rodents can easily climb up and drink from them, too.
- Keep rain gutters and downspouts free of leaves and the buildup of debris to discourage creepy crawlers from nesting and actually finding their way from your lawn into your home.
- Try planting fragrant flowering shrubs that are known to repel certain insects like cockroaches, mosquitoes, Japanese beetles and other destructive pests; among these fragrant plants are lavender, lemongrass, basil, marigold and chrysanthemums.
- You can also try smoking your lawn in early afternoons with incense or candles. Citronella, mint, lavender and eucalyptus are very effective in getting rid of pests that bite, as well as flies.
- Introduce other species of grass if you find insects consuming your turf. Nothing can turn off these pests more than grass that's not delectable for them; eventually they'll completely avoid your lawn because of the "rude surprise" you introduced.
- If you have plants that rodents particularly love, try placing aluminum foil where they are located. Rodents get scared by their own reflection, and it turns out that they also don't like the crinkly sound that aluminum foil makes — they get spooked by it.

Why Flex Printing Works
The Flex printing press process offers organizations many advantages, not the minimum of which is critical cost reserve funds while doing medium to huge print runs. However a cutting edge flexo press similarly it additionally can deal with short, medium and high yield levels, this printing procedure can fulfill little or substantial employments be that in single shading or in different hues.
How does a flexographic printing machine fulfill such an abnormal state of value so cost-successfully and in such a short measure of time? It can do as such as a result of the accompanying powerful, superior segments.
Key Components For Ink Distribution
In current flexo frameworks just a single or two rollers are included with the real dissemination of ink amid flexographic process: the wellspring roller and the anilox roller.
The wellspring roller is in charge of exchanging the ink from the ink container in the machine to the anilox roller. The anilox roller's activity is to meter the ink so as to accomplish uniform ink thickness on the material being printed. The anilox roller has a one of a kind development that comprises of a progression of engraved cells. Every cell conveys a specific measure of ink to be disseminated.
To anticipate ink develop, a specialist cutting edge might be introduced. Its activity is to guarantee that no ink is exchanged past that contained in the cells of the anilox roller. The cutting edge rub the roller to expel abundance ink, and is made of an accuracy polymer or cleaned solidified steel material with a sloped edge.
Key Components For Ink Application
Ink goes from the anilox roller onto a moment chamber called the Print barrel which conveys an adaptable polymer printing plate, which is in charge of the exchange of the picture to the substrate. The substrate is carried on an impression barrel which presses the material against the printing chamber and exchanges the coveted picture.
The sticky tape used to hold the polymer plate set up is twofold sided and exactness designed. Comprising of a few layers of material, including discharge liner, fortification film and compressible froth, the tape's tack is unimaginably imperative, as this property will decide how well the tape holds the plate set up, and additionally how simple it will be to expel toward the finish of a printing work.
The innovation of flexo printing plates have influenced extraordinary walks forward that to have guaranteed that today Flexo is the favored decision of generation. No more noteworthy progress originated from the change from elastic printing plates to photopolymer plate innovation which enabled higher determination to be accomplished testing counterbalance and letterpress quality.

Cases of mind influencing matter have been reported throughout history and across many cultures, more specifically in regard to 'supernormal' abilities which include telepathy, psychokinesis, and other phenomena that lie within the realms of parapsychology. This is evident in ancient literature, from the Vedic texts and the yoga sutras, to Jesus, Moses, Milarepa, Mohammed and more.
Modern day evidence is suggesting that these abilities are much more than folklore.
Fast forward to today and scientists have been exploring the mind/matter relationship for more than a century. We have established that consciousness, or factors associated with consciousness, do in fact have observable effects on what we call the physical, material world, albeit very small effects.
It's important to note that these effects aren't always seen by the observable eye, but they are known at the quantum level.
