Maybe you're stuck in your career and looking for that new 'thing' that will jump-start it back. Maybe you've encountered a technical problem that is just too big for your current state of knowledge. Hopefully neither of these things are true, and you're simply looking to improve your craft and competence for the sake of becoming better. Whatever the reason, rest assured that there are things you can start doing today. Even right now, if you're so inclined.
Over the course of my years in the industry, I've met a lot of great developers and technical people. Many of them had good knowledge of certain areas, knowledge that I now believe is very useful for 'expanding' the mind, regardless of its practical application. In fact, most of the architects at Sela have done all of the things I'm about to describe. Just one more reason why they're such a kick-ass bunch of people to work with…
So, without further ado, here is the list, in no particular order.
1. Learn to Unit Test. It doesn't matter whether you write test-first, last or driven. The very fact that you're trying to take control over the many, many ways your code can break helps you write better code. When you're writing tests, you're actually writing the first client for your code. It is at this point that you see just how easy – or hard – it is to use your code, regardless of how smart/efficient/magnificent it is. This has the direct implication that your users are no longer beta-testers, but are given code that has some form of 'guarantee' with it.
2. Study Inversion-of-Control and Dependency Injection. IoC and DI are game-changers. Once the penny drops, you'll never look at code the same way again. Rather than just talking about 'low coupling', you now have a practical approach for making it happen. Your classes and methods become smaller, more self-contained and testable. Ultimately, you write better code (which hopefully means less bugs).
3. Study functional programming. J.R.R. Tolkien (of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fame) describes his first encounter with the Finnish language as "entering a complete wine-cellar filled with bottles of an amazing wine of a kind and flavor never tasted before". I can't think of a more apt description for the experience of learning a functional language. In the .NET world we have F#, and have had it since 2010. Learning F# will immediately give you superpowers for writing code in the Microsoft ecosystem. But why stop there? If it's a different flavor you're looking for, why not try Haskell or Erlang? The new concepts that you come across (once your brain stops hurting, that is…) will allow you to see things in a completely new light and perspective. Here too you can learn new tricks for your code.
4. Give a talk. In front of people. Maybe gather a few colleagues over lunch. Or in a local user group. Or in an international conference. OK, so strictly speaking this doesn't really enhance your technical knowledge. But being able to communicate clearly and get a point across is a fantastic skill to have. So pick a topic you're interested in, research it, prepare an agenda and a talk and just go for it. The process of preparing for a talk is not all that different from planning and solving a difficult technical problem. In any case, you win.
I hope this short post helps in moving you forward on your journey to being a great developer. Happy travels!

It has been with a strange fascination that I have been watching the developments in the disappearance of Malaysian airlines Flight MH370 While, of course it is a terrible tragedy, I have been strangely thrilled to see that in this day and age there is still a place for wonder in this modern society. Has all of our connectedness removed our ability to be amazed at the wonder of our world? Do we really think that we can track every movement in our world- and what does it mean when we cant know everything. Is our ultimate goal to be a sort of an omniscient God- all powerful as long as there is a place for us to plug in?
For a brilliant take on the role of wonder in our world check out Terry Gilliam's 1988 film "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

Latest Manor Royal Press Releases
Manor Royal park up for national award
Manor Royal's People's Park has been shortlisted for a national award. The park, also known as Crawter's Brook, is in the running to win one of British Business Improvement Districts' (BIDs) Proud Projects Awards.
Every year British BIDs, a national organisation representing the Business Improvement District industry, celebrates good practice and outstanding projects throughout the UK. The People's Park has made it onto the shortlist from over 70 entries from around the country as judged by a panel of business and industry experts.
Manor Royal BID's Executive Director Steve Sawyer was delighted to hear the news. "This nomination once again highlights the fantastic team effort, strong partnerships and community support that has helped to create this tranquil open-space in a busy business district," he said.
"From the beginning of the BID, we've been committed to improving the environment of Manor Royal Business District for both the businesses and those that work here. In a short space of time, the area has become much used and enjoyed by local people and the park wildlife is thriving."
The project, which was designed and delivered by the Manor Royal BID, benefited from grant funding from West Sussex County Council and the co-operation of Crawley Borough Council.
The park on Manor Royal was formally opened last year by HRH, The Duke of Gloucester. This week's announcement comes after the green space scooped a silver award in the conservation area category at this year's South and South East in Bloom competition.
The creation of the People's Park is just one of a number of projects the Manor Royal BID is delivering over a five year period to improve the area as a place to trade and work. The team will find out if they have won the award during British BIDs' annual conference on Thursday 5 November.

Many of us remember our first love, the sweet relationship, we kissed behind the school bike shed, or shared ice cream on Saturday afternoon. But Spade Gaming's First Love video slot is completely different. It's basically an anime style erotic between a teacher and a busty female student, although a certain number of adult themes in an online casino game are good, but this may make things a bit far.
We just try to ignore the gender ethics in the school theme and directly understand things, which is obviously what the teacher does. This is a 5-axis game with no clear payline. Instead, you only need to find matching symbols anywhere on the adjacent reels on the left to win in 243 Ways to Win format.
The Funky Monkey Free Casino Slot Machine Game is a fun game with a crazy monkey in a pretty suit in a small town. She is playing her favorite Bongo instrument and savouring delicious bananas. Do you want to see this lovely photo? So try this slot! It involves 20 paylines and 5 reels. You won't see any Wild or Scatter symbols that might distract new players here. All you need is to focus on this process and win great prizes. To start this game, choose a bet with a spin and a coin size between $0 and $5.
Bravely press the "Rotate" button and your game. In addition, you will find Bet Max features to make your game more productive. Use it to choose the maximum bet amount and win the biggest reward! When they rotate, leave the eagle eye of all symbols.
Goblin's Treasure has a familiar layout and a relatively busy gameplay. The developer ensures that the atmosphere of the retro slot machine is emphasized from top to bottom.
The dark green background supports a large number of reels and detailed payment sheets on the side, not to mention a few information panels spread all over the place. All you need to get started with the players is to look around and all the information they need is obvious.
In addition to a few goblins running around, Goblin's Treasure is a very simple game. Fans in arcade style will feel at home. We will now introduce the basic rules of the game in the next section.
Come and see what this classic Chinese story is and follow Sun Wukong on this golden journey. When you light up the crystal ball and release the power of the gods, ride the monkey's king Respins to your destiny, you need it in the Zap A Ox Demon King Bonus Round!
A round blue scatter symbol, braided with gold, will pay a multiple of the total bet, not just the amount of each bet. When you stop at the same time at any two paces, you only win 2 times the bet, although any 3, 4 or 5 will not only get a 4x, 30x or 400x higher win, but then there will be 10 free spins.
During these spins, you may benefit from the stacked Monkey Warrior symbols, which create high yields throughout the process and triple the value of any prize, which may result in the best game bonus. If any 3 or more scatters occur in a free spin, they are re-triggered and an additional 10 games are added at the end of any remaining left in the current round.

Cheryl Hines stands out the red carpet in a brown dress,smashing her style at New York (Source: Yellowstoneart.blogspot.com)
Well, technically Cheryl Hines didn not talk about it, but the publicity sharing a wonderful picture about her and husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The couple looked very compatible as they attended the RFK Ripple of Hope Gala at New York, USA on Tuesday, December 16, 2014.
The lawyer rigging up her handsome point in a blue suits and the 49-year-old stood out the red carpet in a brown strapless dress.
Isn't she lovely? The actress completed her smashing point with her blonde hair style to loose down and creatured her art in a white pearl bracelet, plus a dark high heels.
When it right, sometimes people just know it. . . . . . .So we think it's safe to say that Robert was taking the next step into the truly point.
No title. . . . . . .Wow! These two move quick.

Passing along this email I got from Relmin:
Hey, I just was listening to some new songs by Mike Phirman and it seems like one of his new songs "Street Meat (You Keep Tauntin' Me)" has Weird Al in it! There is no official statement on the site but it does have a thank you to Weird Al at the bottom of the site. http://music.mikephirman.com/ is where you can hear it, though I am sure you can google mike phirman and find it that way too.
Yeah, that definitely sounds like Al. How hilarious is it that he's peddling meat to the hapless song protagonist? Thanks for the info Relmin!

Clogged Dryer Vent Exactly What Are The Common Causes
One of the greatest factors that contribute to clogged dryer vents is a lack of routine servicing. The water on your clothes evaporates as you perform the dryer. As the dryer runs, the lints get separated from your clothes and go straight to the vent. This may eventually build up over time. You have to clean the small lint trap as well as the entire length of the exhaust vent at least one per year.
Getting your dryer far from exterior wall also causes an easy clogged up dryer vent. You have to run a longer vent to reach an outer wall. The longer the vent, the more it is prone to collect dirt and build up. Additionally, this will ultimately cause a crushed section in a particular part of the vent. Again, this leads to a big potential for a clog.

Warning Signals that Your Vent Dryer is Clogged
There are several warning signs that will help you learn that its time to make a call and schedule vent cleaning. You want to catch this as early as possible to reduce the risks of a fire or other problems.
1. Drying Times Take Longer
• Probably the most obvious indicators that your dryer vent is beginning to clog is that your dryer times begin to stretch out The length of time could double or even triple. This occurs since your dryer pushes warm and moist air our through your vent during a drying cycle. A blocked vent traps the air in with the clothing. This leads to damp clothes and longer drying times.
2. The dryer is Hot to the Touch
• Have you recognized that after every drying cycle, the dryer is hot to touch? Are the clothes hot too? These are 2 warning signs of a partially clogged or clogged dryer vent. Clogs do prevent vent's proper exhaustion of air This may cause loads of work to your heating component as well as to the dryer's blower.

Shoes. My much-beloved and incredibly comfortable pair of black ankle boots are finally approaching the end of their life (some would say that should have been about a year ago), so I went out last weekend in search of replacements. Not really the ideal time to do so, since most of the shoe emporia are currently trying to sell off the summer-themed stock that nobody in their right minds would buy -- admittedly I'm sure there are some people out there who need multiple pairs of garishly-coloured strappy impractical sandals, but I am not one of those people. (I hate sandals.) I managed to find one pair of approximately-equivalent boots at Barratts, but I also wanted a pair of slightly sturdier boots perhaps a couple of notches down from my rather industrial walking boots (which are a bit heavy for round-town wear, even discounting the whole brown and green thing).
After checking pretty much every shoe shop in Kingston, I finally wound up in "Mr Shoes", acquiring two pairs of Wrangler boots. One ladies' pair in dark brown -- the closest thing they had to black -- and one men's pair in black. The men's pair fit okay, though they're a bit chunkier than the ladies' version; probably better suited for those days when I want to channel my inner dyke...
Shorts. Not usually part of my wardrobe but in this weather, if you're doing exercise (as I have been, sadly), then you want something which isn't too hot (leggings are pushing it) and which will cover your thighs (otherwise there is chafing, and that's a Bad Thing). I had one pair of shorts in a fetching... okay, garish... black and white pattern which have sadly lost any elasticity in the waistband that they may once have had, i.e. they fall down. (This is the pair of shorts that once attracted a zebra.) Evans, who would be my usual standby in such matters, didn't have any shorts in anything smaller than a 22 (two sizes too big), and M&S had either cut-off leggings, or microshorts which would fail the thigh-covering test (come to that, I strongly suspect they'd've failed the arse-covering test). Evans' website, however, did have what they described as "cycle shorts", which have turned out to be less unpleasantly lycra than I feared. And the price was right (7 pounds a pair and I seemed to get a random 5 pound discount for having bought three pairs).
CDs. I finally got round to looking for some CDs of the stuff I'd enjoyed at Guilfest and found that play.com had a section specially designed for that purpose... made finding things much easier. I'm waiting for the first of those to show up today.
Books. After going to the christening of H&M's son on Sunday, rotwang and I (and our former DodgyLodger) pottered back through Oxford to check on the bookshops -- look, they might have been finding business hard without us... Blackwell's had some moderately techie stuff I wanted (I reckon I can just about squeeze digital-photography-related books through as a business expense) and Waterstones' 3-for-2 offer mugged me. Who Moved My Blackberry is a bit like e but not as good -- similar epistolary style but you (mostly) only get one side of the discussion, which makes it a bit fragmented. The Bitch Goddess Notebook is okay; a story from fifteen years ago told in parallel with its characters' current lives (well, 1988 and 2003), but I'd like to have seen a little more of the aftermath of the 1988 story (no spoiler there).

Sophisticated, health-conscious, stylish
Excellent cocktails
Accessible Vietnamese
Tell us about your first impressions when you arrived.
From the charming front patio to the bubble-gum pink front door framed by turquoise shutters, Elizabeth Street Cafe has some colorful curb appeal. Inside, the blue bar is backed by pastel, modern wallpaper with Japanese blossoms. Curved archways reveal the sunny dining room with black-and-white checkered flooring, lush potted plants, peacock blue chairs, and a playful painting of George of the Jungle, who watches over the coveted round top table in the front window nook.
What was the crowd like?
This is where the cool kids dine. By morning, the vibe is one of a French bakery. Neighbors drop in on their way to work for the brightly-colored macaron of the day and cafe au lait to-go. Stylish moms meet for croissants with house-made preserves and espresso, served in pastel cups, after school drop-off. In the evenings, couples and small groups happily split bánh mì sandwiches, swap plates to share, and work their way through bowls of bún.
What should we be drinking?
Vietnamese coffee and jasmine pearl tea served in pretty pots are daytime staples. Later in the day, glass carafes of boozy punch arrive with floating fruit. Eastern influence is detected in excellent old world classic cocktails, like the chili pepper-infused Manhattan with thai basil or the passion fruit Sidecar. Global wines by the glass and bottle are reasonably priced.
Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss.
The modern French-Vietnamese cafe has perfected bánh mì—delicious breakfast versions have an egg base—with housemade, crunchy baguettes that can stand up to layers of spicy and tangy sauces, marinated pork, local beef, and fresh sliced vegetables.
And how did the front-of-house folks treat you?
Female servers wear short, summery dresses in vintage-inspired floral prints with denim waist aprons and sneakers. Like their dress, the staff is approachable and eager to explain new or unfamiliar ingredients, suggest an all-vegetarian meal, and pair the just-right jasmine tea with a decadent afternoon pastry.
What's the real-real on why we're coming here?
Vibrant and cheery, it's great for a meeting any time of day. The patio is popular for a sunset cocktail.

West Brom will be aiming to bounce back from their defeat at the weekend when they host improving Swansea on Wednesday.
Tony Pulis' men were unbeaten in four before going down 1-0 at Chelsea on Sunday but have enjoyed some good results in recent weeks at the Hawthorns.
A spirited second-half display saw Swansea beat relegation rivals Sunderland 3-0 on Saturday and they will be hoping to kick on at a ground where they have often enjoyed themselves in recent years.
Baggies boss Pulis saw his tactics questioned in the early part of the season but appears to have unlocked some flair within his squad.
Having won three of their last five at home, WBA are the 1/1 favourites to improve that record, while ComeOn! are offering 33/10 for them to score over 2.5 goals for the third straight game in front of their fans.
Providing more service to Salomon Rondon has been one of the keys to their success and although he has only netted four times this season, will fancy himself against Swansea's shaky defence.
After scoring a late equaliser in this fixture last season, the Venezuelan is the 7/2 favourite to grab the opener on Wednesday.
Swansea head to the Black Country having avoided defeat in three of their last four games and moved off the foot of the table with their win over Sunderland.
A second away win this season is 29/10, while the draw is 12/5 with ComeOn!
However, their most recent away trip saw them go down 5-0 at Tottenham and although that outcome is unlikely to be repeated, it does highlight some of their defensive issues.
They do have quality in attack though and playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson has scored in three of their last four.
Having also netted last season at the Hawthorns, the Icelander is 11/5 to add to that run at anytime.
Over 2.5 goals has been a feature of their recent away outings and that outcome is 20/21, but they will take confidence from the knowledge that they have won three of their last six at the Hawthorns.
This fixture ended 1-1 last season and a repeat result is 23/4 but West Brom's strength at home will give them plenty of belief and a Baggies win with both teams to score is certainly tempting at 59/20.

AN EDUCATION official in Cebu City has agreed that road safety must be taught to students from kindergarten up to grade 12.
Cebu City School Division Superintendent Bianito Dagatan said he is willing to pursue the curriculum, but he has to wait for instructions from the Department of Education central office. Road safety education, he said, could be integrated in subjects like the Social Science, Values Education, English and Filipino. Scouting activities could also integrate road safety lessons, said Dagatan.
For his part, Barili, Cebu Vice Mayor Julie Flores, chairman of the Cebu Provincial Operators Transport Cooperative, said teaching traffic rules is advantageous as it could breed future disciplined motorists.
The recent stunt of a motorist who drove his car while sitting in the passenger seat has led to the revival of a proposal to include mandatory traffic education and road safety in the curriculum of kindergarten, elementary and senior high school students.
During the early part of the 17th Congress in 2016, Senator Grace Poe filed Senate Bill 1231, which proposes an "act integrating basic road safety and comprehensive driver's education in the curriculum of the enhanced basic education (K-12) program."
The bill is still pending in the committee, according to the Senate's website.
The World Health Organization (WHO) launched in December 2018 its global status report on road safety, which stated that the annual road traffic deaths has reached 1.35 million.
"Road traffic injuries are now the leading killer of people aged 5-29 years. The burden is disproportionately borne by pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, in particular those living in developing countries," according to the WHO.
In the Philippines, the WHO reported that road traffic deaths continue to rise with an estimated 12,690 deaths in 2016. (Chello Barellano, CNU Comm Intern)

Back to digital, and to one of my favorite filters, the B+W 110ND. It's a 10 stops ND filter which is great for long exposures during daylight. This time I took with me the Nikon D700 with the Nikkor 28-300 lens, since I needed the telephoto to "reach" certain subjects I had spotted.
I much prefer to use this filter with a rangefinder camera like the Leica M8, since you can frame even with the filter fitted (you don't look through the lens on a rangefinder camera, so it's a joy to use with filters like the 110ND, the same goes for b&w filters like orange and red. On the other hand, filters like a polarizer or ND grad are hard to use).
Anyway, the procedure with a DSLR is simple, frame, put the filter on and shoot, take out the filter and repeat.
The TTL meter through the 110ND tends to underexpose, so I basically take a test shot, switch to manual and then compensate until I am happy with the result. By using smaller apertures I can easily shoot long exposures event at bright sunlight. On an overcast day, you can achieve very long exposure times, and if that's not enough you can always stack another filter on for extreme results.
I have noticed that there is a color shift which is much to my taste with these exposures, and many time great effects are created (like the double rope on the above image).
The ND110 really shines on seascapes. For the silky water effect on rivers, a 2 seconds exposure is much more appropriate for me so I will use a 3 stops filter like the Hoya ND8.
Enough with words, here are two more images with the 110ND filter.

Many people can successfully navigate the World Wide Web without any problem at all and may even consider themselves experts of the Web. On the other hand, there are thousands of other people who don't even know the first thing about operating a web browser. If you'd like to know how to operate a web browser (the tool you use to navigate the internet), such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Mozilla's Firefox without taking an expensive computer-learning class then here are the basics of using a web browser of your choice!
- Get acquainted with the web browser you are using. All web browsers are relatively similar, but the two most popular web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Open the web browser by double-clicking on the icon on your desktop or right-clicking the icon and choosing "Open."
- Once the browser is open, time the time to notice the Address Bar, which is the URL (website address) where you are located. To easier identify the Address Bar, it will be located at the top of the browser itself and the URL in the Address Bar will usually begin with "http://www."
- Next, notice the tools that are surrounding the Address Bar. For example, there will usually be a "Page Back" and "Page Forward" button, usually indicated by a forward and backward arrow. There may even be a picture or icon that will stand for "Home Page," which is the first web page that is viewed when the web browser is opened.
- Above the web browser's icons that you've just looked at, you'll notice a series of help menus, such as "File," "Edit," "View," "History," "Bookmarks" or "Favorites,", as well as "Tools," and "Help." All of these menus are placed there because they may be able to help you at one time or the other. For example, clicking once on "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" will show you a list of all the websites that you have placed in your "favorite" list.
- Two important things to know how to do are to get to a specific website destination of your choice and make that website one of your "favorites" or "bookmarks. "We'll start with navigating to a specific website of your choice. If you have a specific URL of a website in mind then feel free to use that. For this example, we'll use the Google Search Engine home page. In the Address Bar which is located at the top of the web browser, type in the full URL of the website you would like to go to. In this example, we'll type in "http://www.google.com." After you've typed in the full URL, either press "Enter" on the keyboard or click on the arrow icon or "go" button located at the very right end of the Address Bar. After you have done that the website should appear on your web browser's screen.
- We will now put this website, the website of your choice or in this example we're using www.google.com, in your "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" list. Click on the "Bookmark" or "Favorites" menu at the top of the web browser and choose the option that says either, "Bookmark this page," or "Add to Favorites." Your website is now in the "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" list and all you will need to do to get back to that website is to click on the "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" menu again and click on the website that you have favorited or bookmarked.
- You have just learned how to do two very important tasks in two of the most popular web browsers that are used for navigating the internet. For any other help that is needed, the web browser's own "Help" section can be read by clicking on the "Help" menu at the top of the web browser and choosing the browser help section. In Mozilla Firefox, this section is called "Help Contents," while in Microsoft's Internet Explorer it is called "Contents and Index."

Three quarters (74%) of Americans have had a store credit card — and nearly half (47%) of them regret it, according to research from CompareCards.com by LendingTree. The study looked into the store cards of 50 major U.S. retail chains.
Most of the cards in the study had sign-up enticements, but their average annual percentage rate (APR) was a steep 24.97%, and their fine print contained other conditions less consumer friendly than non-store credit cards, according to the report. A full 88% of special financing terms (a big draw especially for younger consumers) included deferred high interest.

This is so deep it makes you just stop and think. awsome graphics and chioce of music. looking forword to future works if you keep them as good as this one.
This is so deep it makes you just stop and think. awsome graphics and chioce of music. looking forword to future works if you keep them as good as this one.
Inspring half..
But the dancing ruined it for me. I like how you depict the tolls of wars, but not the ridiculous part. Do you tell a person who lost a loved one in war to dance? You do not tell genocide stories together with skateboarding or in-line dancing or karaoke. You do not distill the reality no matter how cold and putrid it is. Though..imo, wars, just as dancing brings people together(brotherhood and all).
It Made Me Think
Some people are going back and forth about the dancing...I think that the truth of it is the universal idea that no matter what color you are, where you live, or how old you are, dancing brings us together as, well, one. I have personal connection to war, and I know how it hurts, but this video will change many hearts over time.
This is so deep that almost any one that watched this would change their opinion on war, because every one has some one they love that loves them equaly.
ppl complained about the video and the dancing... and yet every one of those ppl are missing the message the author is trying to send, it doesn't matter if peace can never be achieved, it doesn't matter that the dancing is out of place (which btw is not true, i loved the dancing part!) as long as the author made a slight difference in someone with his video, i think it's well worth it ^_^ GJ and thank you for sharing!

A look at how Monday night's mega snowfall is impacting transit, roads and schools.
B.C. Storm: Big overnight dump of snow forecast for Vancouver, North Shore, evening ferry trips cancelled
Feb. 11, 2019: Weather forecast
Vancouver, West Vancouver and North Vancouver were forecast to get a huge dump of snow overnight — as much as 25 centimetres — according to a snowfall warning issued by Environment Canada at 3:30 p.m. Monday.
The weather forecasting agency also warned residents of Surrey, Langley, Richmond and Delta to expect up to 15 cms of snow.
The snowfall was expected to last several hours and start tapering off during the day Tuesday.
In addition to the snowfall warning, an arctic outflow warning was continued for Whistler. Wind chill values near minus 20 are expected and frostbite is likely for those who are not prepared or well-equipped to handle the conditions.
According to Environment Canada's 2 a.m. snow report on Monday, White Rock received the most snow in the Lower Mainland following Sunday's snowstorm, with 33 centimetres of snowfall. Surrey received between 15 to 32 centimetres in different areas, while Langley saw up to 30 centimetres of snow.
Over on Vancouver Island, Nanaimo saw between 20 to 40 centimetres in different parts, while the Ladysmith area received about 40 centimetres of snow.
"A second low pressure centre in as many days will give more snow to the South Coast beginning this afternoon and continuing into Tuesday morning. This second disturbance will spread snow to virtually the entire South Coast with heaviest amounts falling tonight," read the warning.
Driving conditions
Be careful driving wherever you are in B.C. right now.
Highway 17 is treacherous at the moment.
SkyTrain and bus service delays
At 9:30 p.m. a technical issue had caused a delay to Canada Line service to Richmond. Bus bridges were being set up between Bridgeport and Richmond-Brighouse Stations and between Templeton and YVR Stations. Expo and Millennium Lines were unaffected by this disruption.
Expo and Millennium Lines were running regularly on Monday night, but with a reduced frequency due to the need to have staff on each train to watch for weather-related problems on the tracks. Additional security and Transit Police are at the stations to ensure passenger safety and crowd control.
Earlier in the day, transit riders took to Twitter to share their displeasure at the long lines and crowds. Photos posted by riders at Broadway-Commercial and New Westminster SkyTrain stations showed crowds packed on the platform and signs showing delayed trains.
Police issue warning about clearing windshields
A driver in Richmond must have been too cold to remember to clear the snow off their windshield.
Richmond RCMP shared a photo to their Twitter account on Monday morning, depicting what appears to be a sedan driving underneath several inches of snow on the car's roof and back window. The only visible clearing is a small gap on the passenger side of the vehicle's back windshield.
"For safety's sake, please take a few moments and clear all of your windows of snow," read the tweet. The driver was pulled over and fined $109 under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving with their vision obscured.
Richmond RCMP spokesman Cpl. Dennis Hwang said the driver was spotted just after 10 a.m. near No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway.
"That is only one example," he said. "There have been others."
Richmond RCMP was not the only local police agency to issue a reminder about clearing windshields. Delta Police also shared their own tweet, alongside a photo of a truck being pulled over for the same infraction.
"If you head out today with snow-covered windows, or headlight or tail lights covered by snow, that's the fine you could face," the tweet read.
"The offence is 'Drive While View Obstructed' and it applies to your front, rear AND side windows."
Snow day school closures
UBS has cancelled classes for Tuesday at its Point Grey campus. Simon Fraser University closed at 5:30 p.m. on Monday and will provide an update on Twitter and sfu.ca on Tuesday by 6:30 a.m. about the status of campuses being open on Tuesday, February 12.
Camosun College campuses on Vancouver Island are also closed on Tuesday. Van Horne Elementary will remain closed Tuesday due to a fire.
See the full list of school closures here.
B.C. Ferries sailings cancelled due to snow
B.C. Ferries cancelled a number of Monday evening round-trip sailings between Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. As of 7 p.m. all ferries out of Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island are cancelled.
Earlier in the day, B.C. Ferries cancelled some sailings due to inadequate staffing; ferry staff were among those unable to reach the terminal due to snow delays around the region.
B.C. Transit provided bus services to ensure passengers that arrived for cancelled ferries had a way to get home.
The sailings being cancelled on Monday evening due to snowfall include:
Queen of Capilano (Vancouver-Bowen Island)
• 10 p.m. departing Horseshoe Bay
• 10:30 p.m. departing Snug Cove
Queen of Alberni (Vancouver-Nanaimo)
• 8:15 p.m. departing Duke Point
• 10:45 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
Coastal Inspiration (Vancouver-Nanaimo)
• 8:15 p.m. departing Duke Point
• 10:45 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
Coastal Celebration (Vancouver-Victoria)
• 7 p.m. departing Swartz Bay
• 9 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
Spirit of British Columbia (Vancouver-Victoria)
• 7 p.m. departing Tsawwassen
• 9 p.m. departing Swartz Bay
For more information about B.C. Ferries current conditions, visit their website.
We don't recommend you do this
A cab driver in Surrey received an unusual boost up a hill early Monday morning. Jonnie Daguno posted a video on Instagram of a man mounted on the hood of an SUV using his feet to push a taxi cab successfully through the snow.
Snow delays reach YVR security screenings
Operations at Vancouver International Airport were mostly normal, though flyers were being asked to leave earlier than usual to get to the airport.
Things are in control enough that the airport is able to take a light-hearted approach to the coming storm.
Overnight snowfall has been cleared from runways and conditions are "bare and wet" which is optimal for takeoffs and landings. Crews are continuing to clear snow from taxiways. Passengers are also reminded to check with their individual airlines for any possible delays and to allow for extra time getting to the airport.
Canada Post mail delivery to be delayed
Snow also impacted Canada Post operations in the Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island area.
Canada Post was also reminding residents to clear their paths and stairs to make things a little easier on mail carriers.
This page will be updated as the day continues.
More to come.

Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day Statement: First Nations Still Not Equal Partners in Ontario's Long Term Energy PlanOctober 27, 2017 2:07 pm
(Toronto, October 27, 2017) "Yesterday the province released "Delivering Fairness and Choice: Ontario's Long-term Energy Plan 2017" which sets the course for the energy landscape within the province for the next five years.
I acknowledge the work Ontario has done on the Long Term Energy Plan, recognizing points of collaboration with First Nations and especially supporting the foundational principle of protecting Mother Earth through energy conservation and greenhouse gas reduction.
Going forward First Nations need to be equal partners through inclusion in participatory processes and policy development that will drive the implementation of this plan. First Nations are poised to level the playing field and become major players in the energy field. However, we – which also includes all Ontarians – can only succeed when First Nations are fully involved in program development.
We are encouraged by the commitment to embrace innovation to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of climate change on our traditional lands is frightening and impacts our very way of life. Full realization of this on our First Nation communities will require investment in foundational infrastructure such as homes, local energy systems and economies. We fear the creation of "carbon ghettos" by neglecting the systemic contributors to greenhouse gases in First Nations communities, like inefficient housing and transportation. Suddenly the stewards of the land are now the greatest contributors to ghg due to the inability to access the environments that support energy conservation and ghg reductions. If First Nations are provided the investment and opportunities, Ontarians can expect us to become innovators and leaders within the evolving clean tech economy.
The Chiefs of Ontario is a political forum and a secretariat for collective decision making, action, and advocacy for the 133 First Nation communities located within the boundaries of the province of Ontario, Canada. Follow Chiefs of Ontario on Facebook or Twitter @ChiefsOfOntario.

To celebrate the new Santos de Cartier collection, Cartier built an impressive and immersive design exhibition with a pop-up structure at the neoclassical Arco della Pace.
The centre piece of the exhibition is re-creation of Alberto Santos Dumont's biplane 14 Bis. In fact, Louis Cartier was inspired by the vision of Santos Dumont, who, in 1906, flew his biplane 14 Bis over the distance of 60 meters in a park in Paris. Today, Santos Dumont is widely attributed as the founding father of aviation. That ground-breaking take off even earned the man three world records, proving that manned powered flight was possible "for heavier than air machines". Clearly, both Louis Cartier and Santos Dumont shared the same farsighted spirit of innovation and modernity.
The exhibition explores the theme of exposed technology with a set designed by leading European creative studio Giò Forma. A 60‐meter long transparent gallery (the same distance flown by Santos in his revolutionary 1906 take off) connect two limestone toll booths built at the end of the '700s. Between them, an imposing crystal cube of 12 meters will showcase a model of the 14 Bis biplane, reinterpreted with high tech contemporary materials. The whole installation is a living body, animated during day and night by projections, led lights and music, for a spectacular celebration of time, through time and ahead of time.

MEDFORD, Mass. -- Traverse Briana (Lynn, Mass.) hit his fourth home run of the season, staking Salem State to a 2-0 first inning lead. However, Tufts scored 26 runs over the middle three innings to run away with a 30-2 victory. The Vikings used seven pitchers as the Jumbos racked up 22 hits in scoring their most runs in 32 years.
Tufts scored 10 runs in the third, seven in the fourth and nine in the fifth (26 total). For the game overall they recorded 22 hits, took 12 walks, were hit by five pitches and benefitted from 11 Salem State errors.
The Vikings had taken a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. After a lead-off single from sophomore RF Shawn Rebello, junior 1B Trav Briana hit a long two-run homer to left.
The Jumbos scored three times in the bottom of the first to get things going. Junior RF J.P. Knight had an rbi walk, junior 3B Elias Varinos hit a run-scoring single and senior catcher Harrison Frickmanwas hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
After a scoreless second, the floodgates opened in the third as Tufts sent 15 men to the plate. Knight hit a two-run double and Varinos and junior CF Justin Mills both had two-run singles.
Varinos, who finished 6 for 7 with six rbis and five runs scored, singled home a run and scored in the fourth. Knight (2 for 3, four ribs, two runs) had an rbi triple and scored in the frame.

I DEFINITELY PREFER A HFN/HEA! My biggest no-no's are cheating, miscommunication / misunderstanding plots, unnecessary angst, and cliffhangers.

Summary of proposed Canada Cannabis regulations for October 2019
The next phase of cannabis legalization takes effect in October 2019, it will bring new rules and regulations.
The Canadian government has proposed to add three new classes of cannabis that could be legally sold by federal licence holders and provincially and territorially authorized distributors and retailers.
Those three new classes would be:
- edible cannabis (consumed – eat or drink)
- cannabis extracts (products produced using extraction)
- cannabis topicals (used on body surface)
There will be new rules to reduce risk:
- RISK appeal to youth
- product composition and ingredient restrictions
- no added vitamins, shelf stable, no candy flavours, no sweetener
- product composition and ingredient restrictions
- RISK accidental consumption
- THC limits (see below)
- labeling (THC and CBD content, allergens, best before)
- RISK over consumption
- THC limits
- packaging (plain packaging with cannabis symbol, health warning messages, and child-resistant packaging)
- RISK food borne illness
- production practices (cleanliness, sanitation, water quality, air filtration)
- record keeping (preventive control plan)
- testing – heavy metals
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) limits
- Edibles – limit of 10 milligrams of THC max per discrete unit and per total package however you could have a single package containing 5 edibles if each edible was 2.5 mgs creating a package of 10 milligrams total
- Extracts – Max of 10 milligrams of THC per unit that is intended to be ingested or for nasal, rectal, or vaginal use, such as a capsule. Package limit is 1,000 milligrams (or 1 gram) of THC in a single package.
- Topicals there would be a limit of no more than 1,000 milligrams
(or 1 gram) of THC in a package.
PDF link to a full copy of proposed Regulations
Possession limit 7.5 grams (equivalent to 30 grams of dried cannabis)
We like to reference the chart created by Brazeau Seller Law when we want to see how provinces compare in terms of regs. They do keep this document fairly current. Of course, the provincial and federal websites are always the best resource as regs and rules continue to change.
If you want to have your say on the topic reach out to the Canadian government using the online form (you will not need to sign up for an account or give personal information)
You may also read, download or print the consultation questions.

Preparations are under way for the third annual NACDS Total Store Expo, August 22-25, in Denver. See you there!
A key aspect of the upcoming NACDS Total Store Expo is preparation. As Chain Drug Review's editor David Pinto pointed out in a recent article, "As every seasoned retailer knows, preplanning is essential to gaining the most value from the meeting."
The innovative format at the NACDS Total Store Expo provides business partners the edge they need to collaborate productively, with an eye toward the entire store.
In order for participants to maximize all the opportunities available at the appointment-based conference, NACDS has put in place a variety of resources and tools on the NACDS Total Store Expo website so participants can come to the event ready to hit the ground running, with their advance work behind them and their ability to effectively position themselves for success ahead.
NACDS-TV provided regular updates leading up to this year's event with insights on several features, including the highly-rated Meet the Market and Meet the Retailer programs, and an essential pre-event "Know before You Go" video. Watch a full playlist of videos and, beginning August 22, be sure and watch NACDS-TV for ongoing daily highlights from the conference.
Part of being prepared is downloading the NACDS Events app, which allows participants to personalize schedules, access up-to-date conference information, search companies, personalize schedules and more. Exhibitors can also find information about the Product Showcase, where new products are displayed on the trade show floor.
The excellent presentations at the conference include the Business Programs, where key experts provide insight on emerging issues. This year's keynote speaker will be television journalist and author Tom Brokaw. NACDS President & CEO Steven C. Anderson said, "We look forward to hearing about his experiences in telling the news over the last several decades, as well as his more personal life lessons in battling cancer as shared in his powerful new memoir."
Direct input from NACDS members drove the creation of the Insight Sessions at the event, featuring presentations by experts on a variety of key healthcare and front-end issues.
The innovative format at the NACDS Total Store Expo provides business partners the edge they need to collaborate productively, with an eye toward the entire store. The conference is about to start—it's time execute plans that will deliver on the needs of consumers and pharmacy patients.

On the last weekend in July, a handful of die-hard activists will be gathering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of North America's most successful far-left political party. The organization in question isn't the New Democratic Party, or even the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), but rather, the Socialist Party USA - a once-mighty force that won millions of votes at the turn of the twentieth century.
Tiny and largely irrelevant today, the Socialists used to be the most prominent "third party" in America. Much of the SP-USA platform - from unemployment insurance, ending child labour, a shorter work-week, a minimum wage and more rights for workers - was eventually taken up the Democrats and Republicans, the two dominant parties south of the border.
Still, it's unlikely that the party's conference/birthday bash will attract more than token media coverage.
Not only is the SP-USA a fringe party, it's a radical organization in a conservative country with a short political memory.
"There isn't much awareness of American socialist history," admits SP-USA campaign director Shaun Richman, from party headquarters in New York City. "A lot of people aren't aware of how mainstream radical thought had been in America in the past."
As proof, he points to the Socialist Party's astonishing electoral success in the first two decades of its existence.
The party was founded in Indianapolis on July 29, 1901, out of a merger between the Social Democratic Party and the Socialist Labor Party.
Originally called the Socialist Party of the United States, the organization managed to elect over seventy mayors and scores of city councillors and state representatives within a few short years.
In 1910, Milwaukee voters sent Socialist Party candidate Victor Berger to the U.S. Congress. Four years later, a second Socialist Congressmen, Meyer London, from Manhattan's Lower East Side, joined him.
Eugene Debs, the party's 1912 presidential candidate, pulled in nearly a million votes, out of some 15 million cast.
At its peak, the Socialists had over 100,000 dues-paying members. The First World War, however, proved to be a deathblow for the organization.
The Socialist Party opposed American military involvement in the conflict, a position that resulted in the arrest of many top party leaders on charges of sedition.
In addition, an early "Red Scare" following the Russian Revolution of 1917 put the Socialists under intense government scrutiny. A major rupture in 1919 over the issue of internal dissent (meaning the right of members to disagree with each other) didn't help matters either.
Neo-Leninists who wanted to follow "a party line (and) take orders from Moscow" broke off from the Socialists to form the Communist Party U.S.A. explains Richman.
Those who stayed in the Socialist Party fold believed that individual rights and the democratic system were worth preserving. Unlike the communists, the Socialists rejected violent revolution in favour of the ballot box.
Such a stance didn't stop the party's declining fortunes, however; during the Great Depression, many leftists abandoned the Socialists to support activist president Franklin Roosevelt. Following World War Two, the red-baiting tactics of Senator Joseph McCarthy further shattered the progressive left.
By the 1950s, the Socialists had been reduced to about 2,000 members and had largely withdrawn from electoral activity. While the party managed to hang onto a few political offices (voters in Milwaukee kept Socialist Frank Zeidler in the mayor's chair even at the height of McCarthyism), many members concentrated on working with the Democrats or social-protest groups.
Socialists became involved in the civil-rights struggle, anti-Vietnam War protests and labour-organizing drives.
Membership continued to dwindle, however, and now stands at about 1,200.
On the brink of their centenary, the party - which has been officially known as the Socialist Party USA since the 1970s - is trying to regain some of their lost political relevance. To this end, the SP-USA took part in recent anti-capitalist demonstrations in Quebec City and Washington DC.
Some aspects of the party's platform haven't changed: the old SP believed in "economic justice" and taxing rich people to pay for a social-welfare state. Twenty-first-century Socialists oppose the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) deal and support a "mixed economy".
The SP-USA has taken on some new positions, however, that would astonish the party's original founders. The Socialists support abortion rights, solar power, the decriminalization of illicit drugs and free airtime on TV for political candidates.
Their progressive stance on social issues might explain why the Socialists have been successful in attracting new members as of late, many of whom are quite young.
Richman himself is only twenty-two years old, and a student of labour studies and journalism at Queen's College in New York City. He's also the part-time director of an organization called The Five Borough Institute, which he describes as "sort of a left-labour policy think-tank on New York City issues, such as health and housing, employment."
As for the future of the SP-USA, Richman says the party plans on contesting more elections and organizing a fresh crop of left-wingers.
"We've had a lot of new, young members - college age and high school age - join up in recent years," he says. "We have to train them to be activists so that we can be around for another hundred years."
