Once again, the Ibero-american fiesta in Holguin
The Ibero-American Fiesta of the city of the Parks will be held from October 24 to 30.
This year's festival is dedicated to the Bicentennial of the Independence of the Latin American countries, to the 50 anniversary of the foundation of the Cuban Friendship Institute (ICAP), and the tenth years of the World Food Program (WFP)."
The program of activities includes the fourth Iberian-American Congress of Thought, to be held October 25 to 27 in the Pernik hotel, colloquiums, as well as different cultural spaces such as the Ibero-American Colloquium of Arts, space that will provide debates on the works by writers Jose Lezama Lima and Miguel Hernandez, Spanish poet twice evoked by the singer Joan Manuel Serrat and not a few Cuban troubadours.
During the event Papyrus Publishing House will launch a new book collection called "Cubanos para llevar", which consists of several texts published in handmade paper, carefully packaged, that comprises poems written by Lezama Lima.
The Ibero-American fiesta will also support the cause of the Cuban Five, unjustly imprisoned in US jails, and for such reason local artists are preparing an eight hour concert for peace next October 29 dedicated to Gerardo, Rene, Fernando, Antonio and Ramon, internationally known as the Cuban Five.
It is expected the participation of writers from different countries, local artists, intellectuals, and guests from other Cuban provinces.

3. uv lighting only
4. no light (glow in the dark!)
Whereas my last painting focused on sun and moon imagery, this one is based on planets. Specifically, what you would "see" if you looked up at the night sky. After I began this one, we watched a show that debated how many planets were really in our solar system, and whether or not Pluto can actually be considered a planet.
Ah well.
I used a lot of texture again, I think because I couldn't imagine "space" being flat. I used a few new techniques for creating darkness, which I think works better than what I was doing before.
In the daytime, near a window, the painting is actually very bright and colorful, but at night under artificial light, it looks much darker. I love how it changes in different lighting. It actually changes with the time of day, which is awesome since I created it to be a "nighttime" painting.
(UPDATE 11/07: I've added my super high quality glow paints to this piece. The stars will glow for HOURS now! Hooray!)

Well, the folks at Golden Grain have upped the ante on sliced bread with their pot-sized spaghetti. Best idea I've come across in ages but why did we have to wait so long, always breaking spaghetti in half over the pot of boiling water and having little bits of it end up everywhere while risking a nasty steam burn?
What WILL they think of next?

Who are these people?
So genealogy has never been my metier, but lately I have become somewhat interested in it. Pictures like this are apt to do that. Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by these photos which floated around in a collection of old family mementos primarily because no one seemed to know who these folks were. They could be Bidwells (no near relation to the famous General John who had no issue, my Bidwells are descended from John Horace Bidwell, a very distant cousin to the famous Chico scion) from Shasta County California, they could be Clines from Canada, they could be Corbetts from Ireland, they could be Morgans from Wales; when you get back that many generations, the possible permutations begin to boggle the mind and you start to have an appreciation for the concept that the human race is really one big family. In any case, do your descendants a favor and write on the back of every photo in your house, the date, the location and the names people in it. I have another collection of old family photos for which this was done and I thank the organized person who attended to this detail. I think it was my great-grandmother Harriet Teel Cline, otherwise known in the family as "Hat Creek Hattie." I'm planning a trip to Hat Creek one day to meet some of my long-lost cousins and see the sights that are depicted and named in these photos: the Pit River, Burney Falls, the towns of Cassel, Hat Creek, and the Millville cemetary where everyone seems to be buried.
It's good to be back to the blog after a lengthy hiatus. More postings should come along in short order.
Post and Toss
Or, this why I don't do sculpture. Or, why moving is good, bad and ugly.
This little cow was my first attempt at sculpture in at the tender age of 6. I remember this being an assignment in first grade and that the sculpting medium was starch and sawdust. Can that be right? I also remember my poor little hands cracked and bled from working with the stuff. How we suffer for our art.
Why my mother saved it and gave it back to me 30 years later is a mystery. Why I kept it for 20 more years is an even greater mystery. I assure you it is now where it belongs, in the trash. Why the cow has a dark shadow on it's back is not a mystery. I believed at the time that was what the teacher wanted us to do. It had something to do with shadows from the sun. I think I got it backwards and we were supposed to shade the under side of the cows darker because the sun came from above. Perhaps I was fascinated with the hairs growing out of the teacher's chin and missed the point of the dark shadows lecture. Who can say? I do think it serves well as a reminder that 3-d art is not my strong suit and that letting go of things is healthy. Letting go of things is healthy. Letting go of things is healthy.
Oh, did I mention that I moved??? And that's what I've been doing for the past several months? It's good to be back.
Tom-ay-to, to-mah-to!
Tarantula Hawk
Now this is something interesting to find doing what looks like figure skating school figures in your garage. The circular movement pattern was obviously the result of this poor wasp having lost a leg somehow. I'd never seen any insect that looked quite like this before so I ran to my California Insects book and discovered it is a Tarantula Hawk. What a lifestyle this wasp leads! I hope you followed the link and read the whole gruesome story and that you make a note in the picture of the intact stinger. Yikes! Give these ladies a wide berth! (The males can't really sting but apparently they pretend they can. Look for the curled antennae…those are the stinging girls!)
My only remaining question is why this lady wasp was frequenting our neck of the woods. The tarantulas are all at higher (foothill) elevations in this area, AREN'T THEY??? Please say yes.
Gone to the dogs
Let us begin this post by establishing that I like dogs and welcome well-trained animal companions in all appropriate situations. Now, has anyone else noticed the proliferation of ill-trained and badly behaved faux service dogs in grocery stores and other places where pets have no business being?
3 out of my last 4 trips to Costco have been marred by badly behaved pets masquerading as service dogs, either by wearing vests or by having their owners declare their "doctor has signed a letter" saying they need to take their mutt everywhere. All this tells me is that they have their doctors trained better than their yapping, jumping dogs. Today one snuck up behind me and began yapping at my heels while I was waiting in line and when I started from surprise and turned in dismay to find a dachshund lunging at me from the confines of her personal stroller, the woman at the other end of the leash declared, "Oh, she just wants you to pick her up, that's all." Right-O. I'll pass on that until she gets the dog as well trained as the aforementioned doctor who signed a letter. Next she picked the puppy up out of her little doggie cart and clutched the wildly agitated dog to her chest. Who's serving who here?
The dogs in the photo above were 2 chihuahuas riding in the actual grocery cart, the same one the next unsuspecting person on a trip to Costco was going to use for food. When queried as to the service these dogs provided for her, the woman who had been giving the dogs a ride around Costco claimed to have a brain tumor and said they were trained to bark if "anything happened." Hmmm. It takes 2? And they can do this service from a remove of 6-8 feet as they go through the checkout line in the cart and the object of their service is on the other side of the Costco-size conveyor belt? Sadly, I'm skeptical. I know you can buy bogus service dog vests and credentials off the internet very cheaply and that professionally trained service dogs are so costly as to make it unlikely anyone would have two at once so that makes me doubly skeptical.
It's way past time that service dogs are tested and certified and that certification credentials be carried on the dog or owner's person in just the same way that handicapped placards must be displayed to use special parking spaces, or that a license is required to prove you have demonstrated the ability to operate a car.
A true service dog in action is a wonder to behold. I once shared an elevator ride with one who completely ignored the fact that I was carrying a roast chicken in a bag not 6 inches from his/her quivering nose.
Bark if you agree that the laws stating that pets are not allowed in grocery stores and restaurants should have teeth and be enforced and that real service dogs are beyond amazing and should be welcome everywhere!

The Kings look to hoist their second Stanley Cup in three seasons with a victory on Wednesday night while the Rangers look to keep their playoff dream alive in a do or die scenario at MSG.
The Los Angeles can complete the sweep of the New York Rangers with their fourth straight win of the series on Wednesday night after taking the first three contests including Monday's game three in New York. The Kings hadn't played their best hockey through the first two contests on home ice and didn't hold a lead until the game was over in both of them as they held on for an overtime victory in both and moved to New York up 2-0. The Kings played their best game of the series on Monday night as Jonathan Quick earned the shutout in what was a 3-0 final and now they have a corresponding lead in the series that can come to an end tonight if they can continue to solve Henrik Lundqvist. There is no question this Kings team is the better of the bunch but New York has actually surprised me with how well they have played and while they certainly deserve to be here as they escaped the Eastern Conference I just don't think they are as talented or as battle tested as the Kings. LA comes in as slight underdogs but they have thrived in that role this season and shouldn't be taken lightly here.
The Rangers face an absolute must win situation tonight on home ice and while many have already crowned the Kings as the 2014 Cup champions the Blue Shirts can salvage some dignity with a win here and forcing the parade back to the Staples Center. New York played the Kings very tight in the first two games and probably deserved a better fate but Jonathan Quick stole the show on Monday night and there was no question that the Kings were going to take that game with the way the American Olympian was plying between the pipes. The Rangers need to get on the board early if they want any shot at extending this series and while the 2-0 advantage has been dreaded by many teams in these playoffs you can be sure the Rangers would love that edge in an elimination game at home. The Kings have been absolutely ridiculous in elimination games in these playoffs and while they are light years away from being on the brink of elimination they have the killer instinct to put teams away and while it may take an extra game to do it I am more than willing to put my money with the Kings in this spot as they're the better team and are getting plus money.

Take Lisks – Your On The Rise Choice – Cryptocurrency
Thank you so much for coming to CryptoCoin in looking for "Take Lisks" online. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the appropriate area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current constitutional difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably heard this often times where you often distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not risky? What goes on if the value failures? " sofar, many POS programs presents free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will be resistant to hold any. We have to find a way to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it is simply important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can just choose to print unlimited amounts (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Take Lisks – Cashing In On Cryptocurrency: BTC
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making enormous ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on very profitable business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common money we understand. It is because they're not commanded by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. In addition, it brought enormous solutions to the problems of identity theft online. Trades go through several celebrations as a way of creating trust, but nowadays it truly is possible to create trust through creation of a complex code by an individual party. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be challenging to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small increases is more profitable than attempting to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. It's certainly possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities irrespective of marketplace conduct. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be okay. When searching online forTake Lisks, there are many things to consider.
Take Lisks: Cryptocurrency: Building Oppulence at Every Level
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Take Lisks. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's simply a representation of value, but there is no real palpable sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the reward. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the method by which it's transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short term where your customers can dispute or desire a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of hand. Used, many investors would be wise to make use of a payment processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto currency deals, you need to ensure that protection is challenging. With any form of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your individual keys and so grab your money. Unfortunately, you almost certainly can never get it back. It is quite crucial for you yourself to embrace some great safe and secure techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will protect you from most of these unfavorable activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers assert that there is "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some kind of wages so that you can ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. If you are looking for Take Lisks, look no further than Ethereum.
Take Lisks: Crypto-Currency: The People's Coin
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there's no requirement for large amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be achieved by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.

Biofuel Economics: How $700 Billion Bailout Will Affect Biofuels Industry - Part I
By Cole Gustafson, Biofuels Economist
NDSU Extension Service
Last week, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008. The bill provides $700 billion to Wall Street lenders affected by the home mortgage crisis. Accompanying the legislation was a tax relief bill that extends and enhances a number of provisions benefitting the biofuels industry.
The production tax credit for renewable energy is extended another year for wind and coal and two years for other sources. Included are new biomass facilities. Facilities that produce cellulosic biofuels are eligible to write off 50 percent of their original investment cost.The biodiesel production tax credit is extended through 2009. The credit is now available for any biodiesel, including "green" diesel, created from biomass. The bill also extends the alternative fuel tax credit for all fuels for 2009.
While most of these changes simply extend exisiting provisions another year, the new tax credit providing a 50 percent write-off of new cellulosic facilities is significant. The cellulosic biofuel industry is on the verge of becoming commercially viable in the next couple of years. Rising construction costs are an important constraint to commercialization. Due to their complexity and additional equipment requirements, cellulosic biofuel plants are nearly twice as expensive as corn ethanol plants ($4 compared with $2 per gallon of capacity). Many corn ethanol plants constructed prior to 2007 were built for less than $1 per gallon of capacity. Several pilot scale facilities are operational and construction of commercial scale plants are expected in the near future if test runs are positive.
The 2008 EESA also provides an important glimpse into growth of the U.S. carbon market. In past columns, I have stressed the importance of global warming, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and carbon development in recent biofuels legislation. In addition, California, Florida and Massachusetts have passed state legislation lowering the carbon intensity of their liquid transportation fuels. It is quite likely that biofuels created with low carbon release processes will command a premium in the market place.
However, the economic value of carbon has been difficult to determine.The trading of carbon on the Chicago Climate Exchange has been somewhat thin. The federal government continues to discuss how national carbon values will be determined and controlled. One scheme being widely debated is "cap and trade."
In the 2008 EESA, the legislation provides a $10 credit per ton for the first 75 million metric tons of carbon dioxide captured and transported from an industrial source for use in enhanced oil recovery and $20 credit per ton for carbon dioxide captured and transported from an industrial source for permanent storage in a geologic formation. Budget staff expects that more than $1.1 billion will be spent in the next decade.
With publication of these values in the legislation, we now have a guidepost for establishing carbon values in the future. The biofuels industry will have an important benchmark for valuing carbon when new investment budgets are constructed.
This article has described specific tax provisions in the 2008 EESA that directly affect the biofuels industry. However, what is the indirect impact of the legislation's $700 billion cost? I will discuss that in my next column.

Our tender hearts; a design in the flaws
Aren't they just real badasses?! I mean, how our hearts can be so broken and still learn to love, more.
Sometimes my heart hurts, inexplicably. In my happy, content little life I have created, I randomly feel this giant pull in my chest. Maybe for the past, or in empathy, or just because. There was a time it could absolutely derail me. Right in the middle of life, just send me into a tailspin, rip me right down. And then, as if that sadness wasn't enough, I would splash on a little guilt for feeling sad when I should only feel blessed and lucky for my survival. Always extremely hard on myself. What a vicious cycle it was.
Now, there is a tenderness in my mind for my heart and my soul and ALL of the range of feels. I am even proud of how far I have come, from always numb and cold, to having the ability to be (somewhat) emotional again. To let this loving heart of mine lead me (sometimes). The trick that I learned, was to lean into those feelings, the good and bad, anxious and excited, loved and disappointed. In the leaning, I learned that I could take my time, map out some of those places, to be more familiar with them. They slowly became less and less threatening and then I even began to welcome them.
You see these spikes, and pangs and changes in life and emotions remind me how very much alive I am. How ferociously, recklessly, unabashedly alive-in-progress I am. We all are. There is a beauty in the growth. A beautiful design to the flaws that we are made up of. How wonderful to feel them, and see them, appreciate them, celebrate them, and all of our uniqueness.
If you are suffering and your heart is hurting, don't run from it, lean into that place and create a little map of where you are... next time it won't be such uncharted territory. Take your time, it is, after all, your time. Also check out one of my personal favorite blogs, that helped me a ton:
http://blog.yogisanonymous.com/ Ally Hamilton is amazing!
And cheers to our hearts... little bad-asses they are! Y'all just keep on keepin on! #BELOVE

Training is an integral aspect of any successful business or organisation. Without it, employees can't learn new skills or keep up with the latest industry developments, with negative consequences for employers.
But it's not enough just to have a learning and development programme in place, it needs to be efficient and effective.
The first important step is for a company to review its existing offer. If it isn't yet mapped into an apprenticeship standard, then consider the vast amount of benefits involved.
More than 250,000 workplaces across England currently offer apprenticeships, and they're a proven way of nurturing talent, responding to skills shortages and achieving growth. Existing employees can complete an apprenticeship too, it doesn't mean external recruitment is required.
Make sure your training programme is properly structured. Look at each job level within the organisation and develop a bespoke pathway with specific targets in place to meet business needs and certain standards.
This should form a clear outline of what individuals need to do in order to develop and progress to the next level, what is expected of them, the courses available and the qualifications they lead to. It may even result in the creation of new roles.
A key element of a successful learning and development programme is to make it attractive and appealing to employees. Be clear on how will it benefit them, their career path and the place they work in general.
Apprenticeship Levy
A crucially important consideration is that once the Apprenticeship Levy comes into force as of April 2017, businesses with a wage bill of more than £3m will have to pay a levy of 0.5 per cent of their payroll to help fund apprenticeships across the UK.
This means now really is the time to review existing processes and if necessary find out how you can utilise the levy to fund training and improve your learning and development offering.

Making a Stoplight With An Arduino - Let's Make It - Episode 8/
This week we create a working stoplight with an Arduino. And we go so much further than just blinking lights. We have 2 stop lights and sensors to know when a car is waiting.
Also, in this episode we introduce state tables and a new structure that we have not talked about before, the switch or case statement.
You even get to see me mess up by not saving my examples before the show. But this is good because it demonstrates just easy it is switch the cascading if-then-else to a switch/case structure.

I'm a Linux newbie but I need to upgrade PHP on CentOS 4.5 to the latest version -- or at least 5.2.2 or better. What's the easiest way to do that? The latest available via yum seems to be 5.1.6 and I can't find anything on the Web that seems to work.
I have the same question, but for a centos 5 production box. We used to use utterramblings's packages, but the maintainer's been MIA for over a year, so I'm hesitant to use another 3rd party repository, and I'm naturally hesitant to use the testing repo on a production box. In an ideal world, I'd like to see redhat's "AppStack" packages ported to centos: redhat.com/appstack – Frank Farmer Jun 4 '09 at 1:16
Check out Remi Collet Repository. Repo configs for RHEL/CentOS 4 are available (i386 and x86_64 )
There is a repository on yum called c5 testing i think. It has PHP 5.2.6 A note though, not all modules in PHP are in this testing repo, and some you have to update yourself.
So this is not something I would recommend on a live server. I did this on a dev server and had some problems.
yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install php
I think this works, i have the commands at work but you can google some info regarding the c5 testing repo and PHP.
If al else fails, you can always compile from source. I've done it before on CentOS and it actually works quite smoothly.

The spiritual life is a life of no illusions. Meet God here in the daily realities of this life, this place, the person or task or thing before you now. Meet God here or you'll not meet God anywhere. There's something deeply false and unspiritual in the temptation to want something else, be someone else, or go somewhere other that where you are now. Some people mistakenly think that spirituality is a flight into a different realm, a rejection of the world and ordinary things. There is no other world or place than this one. And if the incarnation of God in Jesus means anything at all (and I think it does), then this world, this place, the faces before us, the streets we walk, the chores we perform, these bodies of ours are all sacred. The truth is, matter matters. And an intentional spiritual life means you live fully awake to the wonder and sacredness of it all. A true spirituality is a united, undivided self--mind, heart, and body. I'm saddened when I realize how must of my life I've spent elsewhere. Elsewhere is always fantasy, illusion, unreality. I've spent too much of my life simply "in my head" and not really in my body, not truly present. It's little wonder, then, that true love has so often escaped me--except for those moments when I found myself drawn into the exquisite pleasure of the present, intensely awake to things like the allure of a rose's fragrant scent, the wonder of a child's innocent view of the world, the glory of a drop of dew trembling precariously on a leaf and looking as if it may burst at any moment.
The narrow gate into the spiritual life you seek stands before you . . . here, now . . . through practices like meditation, contemplative prayer, and the Jesus Prayer. Many, Jesus said, will take the wide and easy road, undisciplined and nearly always pulled out of the present by the unruly thoughts in their heads. But there's nothing there for you but pain and disappointment.
- Enter through the narrow gate, walk the uncommon path.
- Plop down on the grass (or plunge into the icy, invigorating cold of a snowy field) and see and feel the world from as near the earth as you can get.
- Return to the moment over and over again and you will feel the spirit of life rising in your bones, the fire of the Spirit dancing within you saying, "Yes, Yes! More of that."

Islamabad, 14 November 2018: On the occasion of the International Students' Day, the Embassy of the Argentine Republic organized a Puppet Show at the Argentine Embassy in Islamabad.
The show aimed at promoting respect for diversity and difference and offered an opportunity to bring together children from very poor, middle class and high-income backgrounds to respect one another and enjoy an art form that has a very long tradition in Pakistan.
Renowned, Lahore-based puppeteers of Rafi Peer Theatre enthralled the audience with songs and improvised situations about the need for children to respect each other and not to engage in aggressive attitudes due to differences in income, ethnicity and physical appearance.
The Mayor of Islamabad, Sheikh Ansar Aziz, who was the Chief Guest, Ambassador of Argentina, H.E. Ivan Ivanissevich and other guests were sitting on the floor with children in a bid to promote unity, shared moments of joy and interaction with the children.
In his speech H.E. Ivan Ivanissevich underlined the idea that very often children and grown-ups reject those who are different because of ignorance regarding their abilities, beliefs, their different appearances, habits or traditions."Rejecting or bullying those who are less well-off or different to us produces situations in which nobody wins. Making an effort to understand one another, sharing games or helping one another will always make our lives much more enjoyable, help promote creativity and ensure a better future for everybody," he said.
The embassy served lunch boxes to participants with the cooperation of Serena Hotels and gave away bags with footballs and volleyballs to the participating schools with the support of Atlas Sports, Sialkot.
The United Nations Information Centre supported the event.

TUTORIAL TUESDAY: {DIY} Treat Cones
Treat Cones are such a fun way to display popcorn, candy or other goodies at a party.They're easy to make and can be tailored to pretty much any party theme or colour palette of your choice!
Here is a Treat Cone I quickly made last night (couldn't resist after putting this tutorial together!).
DIY details:
What You Will Need:
Decorative paper
Lollipop/Kebab sticks
Styrofoam sheets – approx 2.5cm thick
Shallow tray or vase/container
Treats for the cones
Candy/treats to cover the styrofoam
Tape, glue stick & scissors
For the Paper Cones:
1.Cut a square out of your decorative paper (for the one I prepared last night I cut a 150mm x 150mm square)
2.Roll the trimmed paper into a cone shape, making sure to keep one of the pointed edges as your top tip.
3. Leave enough of a hole left in the bottom of the cone for the lollipop/Kebab stick. Secure the cone shape with a piece of tape on the inside, and use glue to make the outer edge lie flat.
For the Party Display boxes:
1.Cut a piece of the styrofoam/polystyrene/kaylite sheet to fit securely within your tray or vase/container.
2.Place the styrofoam/polystyrene/kaylite in the container, then insert the sticks into the foam, leaving a few inches in between the sticks to make room for the cones. (You can insert the sticks in neat rows or in a random configuration – whichever you prefer!)
3.Pour candy or popcorn on top of the styrofoam/polystyrene/kaylite until it is completely covered.
4.Fill each paper cone with candy, popcorn, or another treat, then slide them onto the lollipop sticks.
***You could also secure the stick onto the cone using tape in the inside before pushing through styrofoam/polystyrene/kaylite and then fill cones ones all displayed***

Dairy recalls contaminated milk
A Sunshine Coast Hinterland dairy has recalled more than 20,000 litres of milk because of e-coli contamination.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Maleny Dairies says the affected products, with a use-by date of February 12 and 13, have been recalled after some consumers reported falling ill after drinking the milk.
Owner Ross Hopper says the cause of contamination has been found and precautions have been taken to ensure it doesn't happen again.
"Milk when it's been pasteurised, it's gone up into the batch and come down into the bottle filler and there was a teflon bush in line that housed a bug and obviously it's introduced the bacteria into the system ...and yeah, we've obviously got a cleaning regime in place now so it never happens again."
Mr Hopper says only white milk products are affected and investigations are underway.
"With our own in-house testing we picked up on it - the high bacteria count.
"E-coli doesn't come up with your plate counts until 48 hours.
"So some bacteria is forming at 24 hours and then other bacteria doesn't come until 48 so that's how come it ended up in the marketplace," he said.

New Technologies
New technologies accelerate industry innovation, and this month Ethanol Producer Magazine brings several such developments to the forefront. In our cover story, Associate Editor Kris Bevill reports on recent research on ethanol's octane advantage, which could become the key to unlocking greater fuel efficiency in new engine technologies. Associate Editor Holly Jessen writes about the work of two companies examining new technologies to enhance the age-old core technology of ethanol production—fermentation. Our contributing writers this month address the same theme from different angles, talking about applying known technologies in new ways like supercritical water or certain metabolic pathways, or applying holistic modeling techniques to optimize cellulosic processes.
Sharp readers may have noticed I borrowed my opening line above from the National Ethanol Conferences' theme, "Accelerating Industry Innovation." I plan to attend the NEC in Orlando, weather cooperating. (Last year a snowstorm 300 miles away at the Minneapolis airport canceled my flight.) While I'll be intently listening to the speakers and reporting on the conference, I would love to talk with you there during breaks—get your feedback, pick up a few story ideas and just learn more about the ethanol industry in your corner of the world. Look me up.

Mayor Gary Haakenson formed the Citizens Committee on U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in the summer of 2006. The catalyst for implementing this committee was Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels' U.S. Climate Protection Agreement, which Mayor Haakenson signed onto in April 2005. (You can find out more about the agreement and Mayor Nickels' work on climate protection at www.seattle.gov/climate.)
Mayor Haakenson's column in the Edmonds edition of The Enterprise on July 14, 2006 asked for interested community members to contact him if they wanted to serve on the committee. Several people responded, and the citizens committee was formed. In addition to the community members, City staff serving on the committee are: Mayor Dave Earling, Public Works Director Phil Williams, Recycling Coordinator Steve Fisher, and Environmental Education Coordinator Sally Lider.
1. Encourage citizens to be a part of the solution
2. Encourage City staff and citizens to conserve current resources
3. Work with the City Council to implement ideas
4. Effectively address the future impacts of climate change

The coalescence and etching of metal nanostructures via solution approach
Tan, Rachel Lee Siew
Date of Issue2016
School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences
Related Organization
A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology
This thesis summarizes my research studies on the coalescence and etching of nanomaterials. This thesis consists of two parts: (1) coalescence, aggregation and encapsulation of nanoparticles and its application on screening of synergistic effects and (2) coalescence and etching of silver nanowires. For the first part, we make use of the coalescence of different nanoparticles to create bimetallic junctions between nanoparticles for screening of synergistic effects in catalytic reaction (Chapter 2). As this screening method involves the aggregation of nanoparticles to create bimetallic regions, we studied how to have controlled aggregation without additional reagents in Chapter 3. For the second part, we studied how we can make use of chemically induced ripening of silver nanowire junctions to reduce the sheet resistance of silver nanowire network (Chapter 4). In addition, we also studied how breaking of symmetry during etching of silver nanowires can yield unique nanowire structures (Chapter 5).

An unexpected surprise as I was never notified that it had been shipped. But this is not a complaint. The camera works great and the pictures are beautiful. Thank you not only for a job well done but the willingness to do it. Several of your competitors including one locally refused to even look at it claiming that is was too old. SLR cameras are precision instruments they are not cell phones! I know what an involved job it was as I even looked into doing it myself until I found out about you. Thanks again for a job well done.

Due to your efforts it seems the original sensitivity and fidelity have been restored and the radio is performing as it did originally. Thank you very much. An interesting antidote that I hope and pray does not ever occur again but highlights the units capabilitys. I live in Enid Oklahoma which is about 90 miles north of Oklahoma City. During the Murra building bombing in Oklahoma City I was listening to a live interview with the Oklahoma City Fire Chief conducted by the BBC and being broadcast over a shortwave station in New Zealand.

Good Afternoon ,
I just wanted to write to express my happiness in dealing with your firm. Last year I purchased the A7, with a price tag much higher than I usually would spend on a camera. A few weeks ago I set it on a bench in my garage after a shoot, and promptly swung my purse around , knocking it onto the garage floor . AUGH !! no more power, lights, sound, or anything.
I cautiously scoped the internet to find a repair location and came upon Royal Camera. I took a leap of faith and sent in my camera.
Quickly I received the notification of arrival, and just a few days later got the estimate. I was pleasantly surprised, and went ahead with the order. About a week later I received the camera back- in great working order with the explanation of repair.
FAST, FAIR and Reliable ! Nice doing business with you, and I have already passed your name on to others .
Thank you,

Sadly for me I was told it may be a week before they allow me to put it back in service due

time allows. I'll let you know how I did when its back in service.
Just wanted to say thank you to all involved with this repair. You folks have been so wonderful

From: Kenyon F To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Repair Invoice (Customer) #00094xxx Hey Jeff, Bill and folks:
Got my camera back today and it appears to be in tip-top shape so want to thank you for doing a great job.
I now realize the rotor dial on the back of the camera was broken when I bought the camera.
I assumed it just needed a little use to "loosen" up which, of course, never happened. Since I shoot
mainly in aperture mode when outside and manual when in studio, I don't use the front dial that much
so don't really care that it sticks. Nice to have the LCD screen working again. The Carl Zeiss is such
a great lens….nice to have it back in perfect working condition. As I was telling Jeff, I was at the WPPI EXPO
and got to play with the new Sony a6300 and subsequently bought it when it came out last Thursday.
Even though a cropped sensor, it isan amazing camera and hopefully will draw less attention when I am
out and about shooting. (I had one Nikon DSLR stolen in China and one in London). Those that steal
cameras for a living tend to look past the Sony brand….although with the mirrorless revolution taking
off….probably not much longer. :-) At any rate, thanks again for the workmanship involved in fixing
the camera and lens and have a great Spring and Summer there in the midwest.

From: Jim P To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: RE: Repair Invoice Packing Slip #00094xxx Hi Folks. I received the camera today and it seems to work very well, thank you. Just a little history on this camera. I actually got it wet (freshwater) last May while hiking. Kodiak (Alaska) is a pretty wet place. Anyway, I sent it in to Precision Camera in Connecticut. To make a long story short, I finally got it back from them in October. For a long time I could not get them to reply to my inquiries, so finally I called the Ct better business bureau. Precision Camera got back to me and said the camera needed a new housing and they could not get parts. So, they sent it to the factory. They in turn apparently could not repair it, so I finally was able to get them to return it. It being a nice camera and not wanting to throw it away and being a mechanic all my life I decided to take it apart myself, and did. It is not that terribly difficult. Looking at it it seemed to me that the most likely place for water damage to occur was on top because of the microphone holes. I looked on ebay and found the power board for $40. But, in looking around the internet I found your website and thought I would give your facility a try instead. Hard to believe you fixed it after less than a week. While I have a better quality camera this is my "belt camera." I have this neat summer job where I fly into remote places in Alaska with a group of people and I take them around and we take pictures of bears. (I'll attach a couple) My larger camera is usually in my pack while this is usually on my belt. Since we use float planes I am in and out of the water all day so it is easy to get wet if I am not careful. Anyway, thanks again and I will remember your business in the event I need future repairs.

That's exactly what I did and the camera is back to working just fine. I guess the Camera settings became corrupted. This email is to thank you for being so helpful and honest, You must come from

Today, I am urging constituents living in Inverclyde to join the NHS Organ Donor Register following the launch of a new TV publicity campaign by NHS Scotland.
The 'We Need Everybody' campaign is seeking to highlight that anyone can be an organ donor, and that by having more people on the Register, more lives can be saved across the country.
Currently organ donation is able to occur in less than one percent of deaths in Scotland, which is why it is vital that more people sign up to the NHS register to help save more lives.
This is an important campaign – one which will help save lives in both Inverclyde and across Scotland.
Signing up to the Organ Donor Register could not be easier – and I would encourage people in Inverclyde to spare the two minutes that it takes to sign up and join the 43% of Scots currently registered.
The We Need Everybody campaign is about driving home the fact that everybody has it in them to save a life.
You can register by going to: www.organdonationscotland.org
