Do not discontinue the Kobe International Flute Competition. 神戸国際フルートコンクールを継続してください
<Combined with 日本語 / Japanese page>
We are collecting signatures in order to appeal to the City of Kobe for the continuation of Kobe International Flute Competition, hoping this activity help the event to be better known in Kobe and around the world.
The Kobe International Flute Competition is an event highly evaluated as one of the top flute competitions in the world and is also a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions. But the competition is now at risk; the City of Kobe is reconsidering its support of the event, making its discontinuation a real possibility, stating the recognition of the competition among Kobe citizens seems to be weak and the return rate low.
The competition was first held in 1985, and has been held every four years since then. Many promising flute players throughout the world take part in the competition. Though it is only several dozen contestants who pass the screening and are actually allowed to come to Kobe to play, there are multitudes of young flutists dreaming of Kobe. The past winners are proud of their achievement in Kobe and have been playing active roles as solo flutists at world-renowned orchestras and as professors at well-established institutes around the world, proudly writing KOBE in their profiles.
For the jury panel, in addition to the prominent and internationally established figures who have led the music world, mainstay flutists who have built a brilliant career after winning in Kobe have been invited in recent years. Juries give a gala concert during the competition and some people even come a long way from home and neighboring countries to Kobe just to enjoy the gorgeous concert.
A considerable number of musicians and music aficionados around the world have come to know KOBE through this competition, and the event has also contributed to enhance the image of Kobe with its culturally and artistically high standard.
Sadly, it may be true that it has not been gaining much recognition among Kobe residents. The involvement of citizens in the event, however, has been increasing if not in a large scale; Some families offer the contestants with homestay and volunteer members help the backstage of the competition. We believe that the direction the competition should take is not towards discontinuation but to continuation with further enhancing and improving the event by seeking for what can be done to develop such involvement by Kobe citizens in the event and to enhance the people's recognition.
For those who wish to send a message directly to the city of Kobe, we very much encourage you to do so. Here is a website where you can find the form, Message to the Mayor.
Also your ideas to make this competition more "an event by and for the citizens" such as advertising methods, lectures for school students in Kobe city, or any other feasible plans will be very welcome.
We are looking forward to your input and support. Many, many thanks!

Norwegian band Death by Unga Bunga have shared their new single, Into the Night, the B-side off their brand new 7″, which comes out via Jansen Records on September 8th. Take a listen to the track via Soundcloud below.
Last year, the band released multiple works, full-length 'Pineapple Pizza' and EP 'Fight!,' winning praise from the likes of NPR Music, Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and Impose, to name a few. Earlier this year, they played their first headlining dates in the US, and now are returning this fall, on tour with Stiff Little Fingers. All upcoming tour dates are listed below.
Pre-order the Bye Bye / Into The Night
7-inch vinyl Jansen Records or digital via iTunes
We're now starting to see the results of the hard work the boys in Norway's Death By Unga Bunga have been putting in since their debut album was released in 2010. Following the release of their fourth album 'Pineapple Pizza' in 2016, the band have headlined shows on a coast-to-coast tour of the US, they've been riding high in the college radio charts, and they've been listed by more than one hundred radio stations in the Americas. Not bad for a small nordic rock band.
Few bands write power-pop songs as compelling and catchy as these guys, and they're a treat to watch live as well – both for your five and a half year old baby sister and for your mother-in-law at sixty-two.
Soon they will tour the US again as support to the legendary Stiff Little Fingers on their 40th Anniversary Tour. The boys are excited to hit the US interstate again crisscrossing the country as they play to the biggest rooms and crowds they've taken the stage for yet on this side of the Atlantic.
But before that, more music will be released. In conjunction with the start of the tour, on September 8th the first taste from their forthcoming album will hit stores with the single Bye Bye, to be released as a 7″ with the title track on side A and Into the Night on the B side.
Death By Unga Bunga are saying this about Into the Night – "We've been on a life-long quest to show people how NOT to suck, so listen up kids; you might just learn something. After extensive studying of the rock'n'roll cookbook, we found that guitar solos are still really, really cool. We did not hold back on this one."
Upcoming tour dates
08 – Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues *
09 – Santa Cruz, CA @ The Catalyst *
10 – San Francisco, CA @ Slim's *
12 – Seattle, WA @ El Corzon *
15 – Salt Lake City, UT @ Metro Music Hall *
16 – Denver, CO @ The Marquis Theater *

Horror, Meet Comedy
By Kristin Battestella
Of course, I prefer when my horror films are really dark, scary, macabre, and well, horrific. However, sometimes a viewer needs to lighten things up for spooky parties or frightful family fun nights. Here's your viewing list for an evening of friendly scares.
Elvira Mistress of the Dark- There's a touch of mature innuendo, but it's a treat to see Cassandra Peterson's alter ego host in a full length picture. The plot's a predictable fish out of water scenario; with sexy Elvira taking an inheritance in a quiet, conservative town. Nevertheless, Peterson's wit, bosom, and personality are all in spooky good fun.
Ernest Scared Stupid- Everyone loves Jim Varney and his plethora of goofy characters. Add a creepy house, trolls, and Halloween and you've got all the hijinks for a family fright fest. Yes, it might be stupid as the title suggests, but who cares?
Beetlejuice- Don't say the bio-exorcist's name three times! Michael Keaton leads an all-star cast in this humorous tale about a country couple turned ghosts trying to rid their house of a snotty
family. Winona Ryder is creepy as the goth daughter Lydia, and all of director Tim Burton's odd touches have their moments-from Juno' smoke coming out her slit throat to Delia's infamous 'Dayo!' dance party. Multiple viewings are in order here. New York
Idle Hands- Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba, and Seth Green star in this creepy teen comedy warning kids about idle hands being the devil's workshop. Dumb in some ways, but hysterical in others-the cast has plenty of gory fun here. Some of the gore, teen sex jokes, and drug use might be much for youngins, but this one's perfect for a safe, indoor night or mature fun.
High Spirits- Peter O'Toole and his Irish friends turn their foreclosed castle into a haunted showplace to attract American tourists. Unfortunately, Daryl Hannah and Liam Neeson really haunt the place! Some goofy humor, funny romance, even a few scary scenes make this Neil Jordan haunt a keeper.
Once Bitten- Jim Carrey and Lauren Hutton are quite the humorous pair as the aging but sexy vamp and the virgin she needs to bite. Sometimes I'd rather this be a straight vampire flick-the talent is certainly there. But the valley talk, Halloween fun, and kinky camp save this movie from total drivel ala the similar My Best Friend's A Vampire. Again, there's some mature innuendo, but young fans can enjoy Carrey's early horror hijinks.

Be warned - you'll won't be able to stop at one...
Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies
Be warned - you'll won't be able to stop at one...
Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies
200g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup (175g) light brown sugar
¾ cup (165g) granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk, extra
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon water
2 cups (300g) plain flour
¼ teaspoon table salt
⅓ cup (35g) cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk
300g 70% dark chocolate, chopped
⅔ cup (200g) store-bought thick caramel or dulce de leche
sea salt flakes, for sprinkling
Makes 15 cookies
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
Place the butter and both the sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed for 6–8 minutes or until sandy in texture.
Add the egg, extra yolk and vanilla, increase the speed to high and beat for 2 minutes or until pale and creamy.
Place the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and water in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the baking powder mixture, flour, table salt, cocoa, milk and chocolate to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
Working in batches, shape 1⁄4-cup (60ml) portions of the dough into balls and place on the trays, allowing room to spread*.
Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool on the trays for 10 minutes, before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough to make a total of 15 cookies.
Spread cookies with the caramel and sprinkle with sea salt to serve.
Tip: You can store these cookies,
without the caramel and sea salt, in an airtight container
for up to 4 days.
(*This recipe makes 15 large cookies. To make regular-sized cookies, simply shape 2-tablespoon portions of the dough into balls and place onto the trays, allowing room to spread. Bake for 14–16 minutes.)

Don't miss out on fees you've earned
If your systems are poor you could be failing to collect money owed to you, warns accountant Rosemary Smith
If your systems are poor you could be failing to collect money owed to you, warns accountant Rosemary Smith
As income streams slow it has become more important than ever to ensure you are receiving all the income you are entitled to.
Points to watch
- Never take it for granted that you will be sent the correct fees.
- Keep spreadsheets showing not only your GMS/PMS monies but also achievement monies and enhanced services.
- Do not monitor the amount received from the PCT. Monitor instead the actual income streams and deductions.
If you do not receive information from your PCT, you must demand it. Getting the right data is the only way you can ensure you have been paid correctly each month.
How to set the correct fee
- Monitor what you charge for insurance reports and other services.
- Check on the BMA's website and other sites to ensure you are up to date with charges.
- Be especially careful to include VAT as appropriate if you are registered.
How to make sure all fees are collected
- Use a computerised package.
- If you must keep your books manually, keep either a separate book to log all the invoices when they are prepared and the payments received against them, or set up an Excel spreadsheet.
- Make sure you give your accountant at the year-end the correct figure for monies you have received.
- If you are unsure about any system above, seek advice from your accountant.
Most computerised packages have fee controls. Although setting them up often takes time, once done it can save a lot of time in preparing statements and copying invoices for reminders.
With manual systems, keeping either a separate book or setting up a spreadsheet is important as you can use the 'data - auto filter' to screen the unpaid items, which will save time.
System for checking collection
- Ensure there is a specific staff member in charge of credit control.
- Ensure a regular report is given to the practice manager or partner to monitor.
All too often a system is set up but the amount owed to the practice increases each month because no one actually chases the payments.
Another common mistake is that invoices are often left on the system that should be removed because they were raised in error. Or they are not removed when they have been paid.
If they really remain unpaid they may need to be marked as bad debt.
In all these cases the doctors will be taxed on income they will never receive.
So you could be paying 40% income tax, 1% national insurance and possibly up to 22.5% superannuation (if it is NHS income) for income you have never had.

The Online Strategy team at the UC Davis Library repositions Library data for the digital age.
What We Do
Online Strategy combines technical infrastructure and digital operations (online catalog and digitization) with a publicly engaged tech, design, and outreach team focused on leveraging the library's expertise to forge broader access to campus research, knowledge, and historical collections. The team applies new technologies that enable innovative uses of collections and data that advance our mission of providing access to knowledge and the scholarly record.
Label This
By digitizing thousands of wine labels collected by famed professor Maynard Amerine, UC Davis has shone a light on how his travels and exhaustive pursuit of the craft of winemaking influenced generations of winemakers around the world. Our Label This! web application has put people in touch with these labels, allowing them to imagine what a pre-Prohibition California wine might have looked like, or bringing to life wine from Fascist Germany. Amerine's labels give life to the history of wine.
Price The Vintage
We've digitized hundreds of catalogs from the famed distributor, Sherry-Lehmann. From the late 1930s through the 1950s, these beautiful illustrated brochures list prices from thousands of now rare bottles, helping to chart America's appreciation for wine from France, Spain, Italy, and beyond. Help us make it searchable by transcribing the information that you see on the pages.
Wine Search
We have created an application to help search the results from Price The Vintage and eventually, from Label This. The more data entered, the more robust the search results. So help us Price The Vintage!

ROCKFORD — Rockford Housing Authority officials will partner with Wisconsin-based Gorman & Co. to redevelop Brewington Oaks towers, the former Jane Addams public housing complex site and the surrounding neighborhood.
The RHA board settled on Gorman after interviewing several developers with backgrounds in similar redevelopment projects. It has authorized RHA administrators to negotiate a development agreement with the company.
Impressive record
RHA acting Executive Director John Cressman said the board was impressed with Gorman's track record in redeveloping out-of-date public housing stock and developing mixed-finance neighborhoods. The goal is to revitalize the Brewington Oaks site, former Jane Addams campus and surrounding neighborhood.
"We were impressed with their ability to revitalize challenged neighborhoods that may or may not already include public housing, but we saw many examples of where they took a challenged neighborhood and integrated a mixed finance development that included market-rate housing and turned the neighborhood around," Cressman said.
He said the RHA will work with Gorman to come up with an ambitious plan for redevelopment of the towers and the neighborhood. An equal mix of market-rate, affordable housing and public housing is the ultimate goal, with new retail establishments sprinkled into the area.
It's all part of a new approach the RHA is taking to public and affordable housing, following a national trend.
Spreading out
Instead of the traditional stockpiling of public housing concentrated in a single location, the idea is that a more scattered housing approach would improve Rockford neighborhoods instead of acting as a drain, which Cressman said was the case in the past.
Gorman will develop a market study to determine precisely what mix of housing stock is needed in the neighborhood. That will include a review of Brewington Oaks to determine what demand there is for condominiums in the towers. Within the towers, there could be a mix of market-rate and low-income condominiums or rentals.
Counting on grants
But the project also is heavily dependent on whether it can receive more than $20 million in federal HOPE VI grants and other financing sources. Once a plan and designs are developed for the revitalization project, an application will be filed for the HOPE VI grant.
"We think the stars are kind of all aligned for this project," Cressman said. "This is our best shot."

Why not make your presentation the best possible experience for them, anyway? So that when they leave they say, "I'm really glad I came."
Take the time to make the little things count. Craft an engaging opening. Wrap up with a strong closing. Incorporate audience interaction. Tell stories, use analogies, make it interesting. Connect.
Do all the things you do when your audience wants to be there. Make it fun for yourself and for them, too.
Give them an experience that erases the ho-hum attitude they walked in with, and replaces it with: The whole trip was worth it."

Rural communities in seven areas of the UK are set to benefit from 5G technology as part of a trial ahead of a national rollout.
Groups across the country, including businesses, universities and councils, competed to win a share of a £25 million fund to pilot the technology, with the aim of delivering smart agriculture, boosting tourism and connecting poorly served communities.
Projects in Inverness-shire, Perthshire, Monmouthshire, Cumbria, Northumberland, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire were successful in their bids.
The regions will receive Government grants of between £2 and £5 million, which Digital Minister Margot James said would show how rural communities could 'bring together benefits across agriculture, industry and wider society'.
The announcement came as a report by Rural England and Scotland's Rural College (SRUC), commissioned by online retailer Amazon, said a greater adoption of digital services in rural areas could add £12 to 26 billion a year to the UK economy.
It also claimed annual business turnover in rural areas could grow by at least £15 billion, with micro and smaller businesses seeing the greatest returns.
Doug Gurr, Amazon UK country manager, said: "As the report shows, there is much further to go before anyone can say the rural-urban divide has closed.
"Embracing digital technology not only benefits the economy; it also allows rural communities to combine great quality of life with access to global opportunities."
The research paper found rural businesses were typically family-run, home-based and owned by people aged 55 or over, with 52 per cent facing some kind of skills-related obstacle to adopting digital to unlock growth.
Countryside Alliance head of policy Sarah Lee said: "This report shows far from being a secondary issue, a rural digital strategy should be central to the Government's plans to create a stronger economy and fairer society.
"Achieving full connectivity, investing in skills development and encouraging more rural businesses to maximise the digital opportunities already in existence will enable rural communities to achieve their full economic potential."
It is estimated a third of the global population work in agriculture - making it the single largest employer in the world.

text: The illusion of Time April 30, 2018April 30, 2018 by Karen Lang, posted in Change the rooms in your mind, Commitment to Dreams, Discovering your Destiny Alice: "How long is forever?" White Rabbit: "Sometimes, just one second." – Lewis Caroll Time is not absolute, despite what common sense tells us. Time is relative, and flexible and, according to Einstein, "the dividing line between past, present, and future is an illusion". Reality is ultimately timeless… if we allow it to be. As I get older and practice living in presence, I am learning that I have complete control over how I see 'time.' The essence of relativity is that there is no absolute time and no absolute space, and so if everything is relative, then the most important relationship in my life should be, the relationship I have with 'time' because time, affects every part of my life. If my relationship with 'time' is calm, present and accepting, and I treat time as a precious gift, then my life will feel calm, present and accepting. However, if my relationship with 'time' is stressful, impatient, fearful and resistant, then my life will also feel this way. So the question is, "What is our relationship with time?" And how can we change this belief, so we can be present in the infinite space of every moment? "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." – Lewis Carroll Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...

It works out perfectly for me that Adriana asked us to share our journaling techniques just as CCOM is starting The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The beginning of a new book is a great time to reflect on the details of this DIY Master's program.
The Syllabus
- Keep a Character List: I use an index card as a character list bookmark. I find that if I write the names of new characters in my chapter summaries, I lose them. For example, when we read Crime and Punishment, I added each new character to my chapter summaries. I completely lost Kitty's friend Varenka. Later when she returned to the story and there was that almost proposal from Koznyshev, I was utterly confused. Sometimes I toy with SWB's idea of a family tree for novels that have lots of related characters, but for now my index card technique lets me easily refer back to my list for those minor characters who keep popping in and out of a story.
- Mark Up Your Book: I write in my book. Gasp! I know! It does takes some getting used to. I underline, bracket, and circle. I draw smiley faces and jot down notes. I write "Ha-ha!" and "Gasp!" and "Boring!" Sometimes I'll write "Reminds me of….. (a character or scene from another book)." I refer back to these markings when I'm answering WEM wrap-up questions and when I'm blogging.
- Summarize Chapters: I take notes in my journal as I read. A three-page-long Huck Finn chapter isn't a problem for me to summarize, but those twenty and thirty page chapters from some of our tomes have me scratching my head, trying to remember all that happened, so I read and write, and write and read. What do I write? Factual things such as a sequence of events or a description of a character. I list the page number of great quotes. What else do I write? I make note of words I don't know and want to look up later. I ask myself questions: things I'm wondering or things I need to reasearch (which I may or may not do). Sometime I take note of events I suspect are foreshadowing. I make connections between the current book and previous novels. I praise, and I complain. "Such witty dialogue!" "So boring! When do authors get editors?"
- Disclaimer:I always take notes in pen, and my paper must have lines. That being said, I am a messy note-taker. I scratch things out. I misspell things. I abbreviate words all the time. I'm sure I'll never write out the name Huckleberry Finn but instead the boy will be "HF" in my notes. That's okay because this is a DIY Master's program with the focus on the DIY!
Happy Journaling!
It's fun to see how other approach the WEM program. Check out Adriana's blog for a listing of other WEM students who are tackling the topic of journaling today.

Slow, Medium and Fast Strategies for Big Bass
GROWING UP IN THE LATE '70s and early 1980s, I lived the pursuit of big bass vicariously, watching bass television legends such as Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston, Roland Martin and Orlando Wilson slugging it out with lunkers on top lakes across the country.
At age nine, I first tasted actually hanging into a bass on an old Devil's Warhorse topwater worked along some shallow timber on Toledo Bend reservoir. By my late teens, I had learned much more about bass and was learning about working the grass on Sam Rayburn.
At this point, it was obvious anglers who wanted to catch really big bass did things differently. Over the years that has become even more evident.
There are many different styles of bass fishing, and some suit some anglers better than others. I have picked my favorite slow, medium and fast strategies for catching big bass. I think they will help you improve your game by connecting you with the right lure for the right time, with the right reel.
Slow is not my forte. I am an intense, bull in a China shop. I have to really work hard at anything that can even be loosely
construed as slow or finesse. However, many times that is exactly what is required to catch big bass.
One of the absolute best ways to catch huge bass is to slowly fish swimbaits in areas where few fish see them.
Swimbaits are essentially soft plastic crankbaits that allow anglers to cover lots of water and fish with a simple retrieve to target big fish. Most major tackle companies have some sort of swimbait on the market, ranging from foot-long $40 trout-mimicking works of art to more affordable fare.
"Swimbaits have been invaluable for me fishing on Lake Falcon in particular," said 2008 Bassmaster Classic winner Alton Jones. "They will get big fish when other baits don't seem to get the job done. I have seen big fish get up and follow a big swimbait when they seemingly get lockjaw in clear water."
I, too, have had good luck getting big bass to come out of hiding with swimbaits when nothing else seemed to work. This is particularly true when it comes to clear water.
One particular set of private lakes I fished had super clear water. Everyone threw small, delicate lures and caught few big fish. However, throwing a big swimbait in natural colors and slowly swimming it adjacent to cover seemed to draw more strikes.
Rigged on a casting reel with a little slower gear ratio such as 6.3:1 or similar is a great way to get those big fish to come out. The gear ratio describes how many revolutions the reel makes per turn of the handle. The higher the number, the more line gets pulled at once and vice versa.
I like to simply reel the swimbait at about the rate of speed it takes to keep it from sinking. Just swim it on an even, steady keel and be patient. You won't get many strikes, but the ones you do get will most like be better than average fish.
This is my favorite pace to fish because I can use medium depth crankbaits to fish the end of boat ramps, piers and docks.
Most anglers fish right against the bank, along the bulkheads and all around the pilings.
If you look closely at how all of these structures are designed, there's much more than the eye can see. With a good depth finder you will notice boat docks extend out much farther than you think. Piers sometimes have concrete padding or support beams underwater that go out from the main structure. These spots are rarely fished, so if you chunk a medium diving crankbait on a casting reel with a ratio somewhere in the 7.1:1 category, you can quickly cover these locations. You can also pick away at the normal spots on the visible structure.
Bass see many topwaters worked over their lairs, but how many times do they see lures walked quickly?
Topwaters are great for catching big bass. When you have a falling barometer and the fish are in heavy feeding mode, try "walking the dog" as fast as you can in transition zones between deep and shallow water. Any spot where the water drops immediately from say three feet, to eight or 10 feet is a killer place to find a monster bass.
You will need a reel with a higher ratio of at least 7:1 or up to 8:1 for this technique. Topwater fishing creates a lot of slack in the line, and a higher gear ratio helps you take up that slack quickly for hookset.
This technique works great, but for added fun try it at night. Big bass like hitting surface plugs after hours.
These techniques require different gear ratios to coincide with the diverse lures and speeds required. The Daiwa Tatula 100 comes in 6.3:1, 7.1:1 and 8.1:1 ratios and is incredibly light, allowing for a very comfortable angling experience.
"This is by far the best reel they have come out with including the Steez", said Brent Ehrler, Major League Fishing Bass Pro. "I had the fortunate opportunity to use it when it was in the prototype stage, and I was asked multiple times to return it so they could check the wear and tear.
"I refused to return it. That's how much I like it."
No matter which reel you buy or where you fish these techniques can help you find big bass and at the end of the day that's what matters, right?
A Small Reel that Packs a Huge Punch
THE TATULA 100 is the smallest and lightest reel in the popular series from Daiwa. It is the most comfortable and palmable reel seen in many years. With a featherweight 6.9 ounces it may be the lightest, most fatigue-free, reel Daiwa has ever built.
The Zero Adjuster spool setting and T-Wing System level wind, casts longer and more accurately. The comfort is enhanced by redesigned Soft Touch Handle Knobs. The reel is also well suited for junior anglers with smaller hands. The bones of the reel are strong with an Aluminum Frame providing rigidity and a smooth performance.

When comparing Scratch vs Nim, the Slant community recommends Nim for most people. In the question"What is the best programming language to learn first?" Nim is ranked 15th while Scratch is ranked 25th. The most important reason people chose Nim is:
There are generics, templates, macros in Nim. They can allow you to write new DSL for your application, or avoid all boilerplate stuff.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Visual
Code is represented as visual building blocks that makes it easy to understand how a program is put together.
Pro Great starting point for kids
Scratch was developed specifically for kids ages 8 and up as an exciting way to introduce them to technology. It's designed to be easy to learn, but still provides good depth in computational thinking.
Pro Easy to learn
Scratch is designed to teach computational thinking rather than focus on specific syntax. It was designed specifically to be easy to learn for anyone over the age of 8.
Pro No need to be able to type
Pro Can be used to create games
Pro Highly structured
The language is highly structured. Therefore, it gives you the essentials of how to think like a programmer and teaches you good programming practices from early on, so you could write clean, working and readable code in the future.
Pro Great metaprogramming features
There are generics, templates, macros in Nim. They can allow you to write new DSL for your application, or avoid all boilerplate stuff.
Pro Strict typing
Checks your code at compile time.
Pro Compile-time execution
Nim has a built-in VM, which executes macros and some other code at compile time. For example, you can check if you're on Windows, and Nim will generate code only for it.
Pro Really cross-platform
The same code can be used for web, server, desktop and mobile.
Pro Built-in Unicode support
You can use unicode names for variables, there is "unicode" module for operations with unicode.
Pro Type interferencing
You only need to specify types in your procedures and objects - you don't need to specify type when you're creating a new variable (unless you're creating it without initialization).
Pro Multi paradigm
Imperative, OOP, functional programming in one language.
Pro Garbage-collected
You don't need to deal with all those manual memory allocations, Nim can take care of it. But also you can use another GC, or tweak it for your real-time application or a game.
Pro Has built-in unittest module
With built-in "unittest" module you can create test with a very readable code.
Pro Easy to read
Nim has a lot of common with Python in terms of syntax. Indentation-based syntax, for/while loops.
Pro Easy to integrate with another languages
You can use Nim with any language that can be interfaced with C. There's a tool which helps you to create new C and C++ bindings for Nim - c2nim.
Also, you can use Nim with Objective C or even JavaScript (if you're compiling for these backends).
Pro Supports UFCS (Unified Function Call Syntax)
writeLine(stdout, "hello") can be written as stdout.writeLine("hello")
proc add(a: int): int = a + 5 can be used like 6.add.echo or 6.add().echo()
Pro Has built-in async support
Nim has "asyncdispatch" module, which allows you to write async applications.
Con Does not teach you programming
Learning Scratch might help you if you have high difficulty with logical thinking. However, starting with a proper programming language, especially an easy one, will give you the benefits of starting with something like Scratch and everything else.
Scratch is not a language used in the workplace. Instead it teaches computational thinking, helping to create a foundation to aid in learning other languages.

Once Upon A Time A Clock-Watcher During Overtime Hours – book launch
September 16 2011
SALT Beyoglu – Istiklal Caddesi 136, Isatanbul
Within the context of Ahmet Ögüt's current exhibition at SALT Beyoglu, Across the Slope, curator and critic Bruce Ferguson and Ahmet Ögüt will discuss the artist's recent project Once upon a time a clock-watcher during overtime hours at Fondazione Giuliani, Rome.
The catalogue of the exhibition at Fondazione Giuliani, published by NERO, which includes an essay by Bruce Ferguson, an essay by Adrienne Drake and a special illustrated section by the artist, will be presented during the conversation.
In Once upon a time a clock-watcher during overtime hours, Ögüt's solo exhibition at the Fondazione Giuliani, the artist moves his practice in a new direction, using an art collection as source material. Ögüt has selected works by Marina Abramovic, Giovanni Anselmo, Carl Andre, Mircea Cantor, Peter Coffin, Cyprien Gaillard, Joseph Kosuth and Sislej Xhafa from the Giuliani Collection to create "atmospheres" or interventions around each work which call attention to the characteristics of the works themselves, while also appropriating them to create multi-layered narratives with an open trajectory to generate and expand upon new meanings. Underlining these interventions is the consideration that no artwork has one single reading but is open to subjective interpretation. While paying homage to the works by these artists, Ögüt questions authorial originality and intentionality. He creates visual texts, which invite the viewer to really ponder a work of art while formulating new considerations and multiple readings.
Interspersed throughout the exhibition spaces are a body of artworks by the artist himself, several of which have been produced specifically for the show. These works underscore Ögüt's continuing interest in time, sociological structures and mechanisms of surveillance and control. The 16mm film collage, Wikipolis, juxtaposes a scene from Metropolis, Fritz Lang's seminal 1927 film on urban dystopia, with an image of a former nuclear bunker in Stockholm that now houses a data centre with 8,000 computer servers, two of which belong to WikiLeaks. The interactive installation, River Crossing Puzzle, transforms a traditional children's puzzle into a playful but politically charged game, while with My Spy Desk, the exhibition's viewers become unintentional protagonists. Ultimately, Once upon a time a clock-watcher during overtime hours invites the viewer to bear witness to and participate in an exercise of irony, nuance and layered interpretation.

Read About PatentConnect's Kentucky Launch Event in Louisville
In late 2017 the United States Patent and Trademark Office designated CIPR's pro bono patent matching service, PatentConnect, as the patent hub for Kentucky along with Indiana. Since PatentConnect's launch in 2015 as the designated hub for Indiana, the CIPR has engaged over one third of Indiana's 92 counties with pro bono IP through outreach efforts in cities such as Indianapolis, West Lafayette, Evansville, and Bloomington.
To mark the start of PatentConnect's coverage of Kentucky, we held our first Launch event in Louisville on Tuesday, September 18th.
At the event, IP Clinic and PatentConnect Director Norm Hedges gave a brief overview of IP law and shared practical information with the audience regarding how to utilize PatentConnect and the USPTO Law School Clinic Certification Program.
Tara Ho (Patent Pro Bono Assistant Coordinator, USPTO) and James Wilson (Assistant Regional Director, Elijah J. McCoy Midwest Regional Office) also spoke about the many free resources for inventors and entrepreneurs throughout the Kentucky and Southern Indiana region. The highlight of the event was our IP lawyer panel of Lars Smith (University of Louisville), Elizabeth Threlkeld (Middleton Reutlinger), and Megan Gibson (Middleton Reutlinger). The panel provided their insight on the important hurdles facing entrepreneurs and small business and how to best navigate them. A time for Q&A with the panel was reserved for the end of the event.
We would like to give a special thanks to Lars Smith, Will Metcalf (Director, Brandeis School of Law Entrepreneurship Law Clinic), and the University of Louisville for hosting our event.


text: I recently found out my boyfriend of nine years and who I live with cheated on me while he was on vacation. He came clean to me and was very apologetic and said he messed up. He said he got drunk and the opportunity was presented to him and he took it. He said he feels the reason he did it because it was something different. He says that he feels our relationship has become stale and too comfortable. We talked about how yes there was lack of communication between both parties and I am willing to take steps to be more open and make this work. I asked him if he wants us to work and he said he does but isnt sure it can. He loves me but he doesnt know if he wants to commit to me forever. I was never one to push for marriage. I am happy just being together. I told him I really want this relationship to work and I gave him space by staying at my moms house and I told him he needs to talk to someone about this because its been eating him up inside and when hes ready to talk again, Ill be here.

Arrested Development's Michael Cera Entertains Online
July 14th, 2007 by David Erickson
I found Michael Cera and Clark Duke's Web TV show this week and I'm absolutely delighted with it. It's a quasi-extension of the type of humor found on the show in which Cera most recently starred, the wonderful Arrested Development.
It's a web only production and episodes last roughly ten minutes each. CBS, smartly, has uploaded some episodes to YouTube and allowed embedding so I can show you one here. You can watch all the episodes at ClarkAndMichael.com
This episode features Clark and Michael having lunch with their super agent:

Traditional manuals categorize all preppers into 2 types. The Homesteaders type prepper focuses on a Bug-In plan to respond to any crisis event. They stockpile years worth of supplies in rural areas that they feel will be easy to defend against the unprepared survivor. The Survivalist type prepper focuses on a Bug-Out plan to respond to any crisis event. They will throw on a 60lb backpack, grab a rifle and head to the woods to survive off the land.
The Sub(Urban) Prepper does not fit into either of these 2 types. The Sub(Urban) Prepper are preppers that live in, or close too, one of 497 locations designated by the 2010 US Census as Urban Areas. 71% of the American population, or about 210 million people, live in these areas.
Sub(Urban) Preppers are limited by family and jobs from selling everything and moving to a rural farm like the Homesteaders and they also know that their physical conditioning and dependents will not allow the use of the Survivalists plan of walking out of the suburbs.
The Sub(Urban) Prepper understands that the likelihood of a Bug-In plan succeeding in a suburban environment is very remote. They also realize that most Bug-Out plans also do not take into consideration that the Sub(Urban) Prepper is usually mid-aged or older, poorly conditioned and has dependents, such as children, elderly family members or pets, that are solely dependent on them for survival.
A Survival Plan must treat the bug-out / bug-in decision as just an extension of one another. The Sub(Urban) Prepper must simultaneously prepare for both scenarios. This is very confusing and difficult for the prepper to accomplish.
The concept of the BIBO Survival Trailer is based on one premise. If the Sub(Urban) Prepper is prepared to bug-out, then the Sub(Urban) Prepper is prepared to bug-in.
The Bug-In/Bug-Out (BIBO) Decision is critical for the Sub(Urban) Prepper because this type of prepper will always bug-out by vehicle. These preppers have all heard the horror stories of being stopped in a traffic jam, running out of fuel and vehicle breakdowns, but they have no other choice. The distances and time required to walk out of a sub(urban) environment with dependents will exhaust the carried supplies.
The BIBO Survival Trailer is the PREPPERS LIFEBOAT. Just like the lifeboats on the Titanic, it's not designed to allow the prepper to survive for extended periods, but to get away from the sinking ship.
The BIBO Survival Trailer prepares the prepper for both the Bug-In or Bug-Out option. Regardless of whether the prepper is going to bug-in, bug-out locally or bug-out a thousand miles away, all preppers must have the basics of Food, Water, Shelter, Security, Medical and Communications to survive the aftermath of an event.
Set up in a driveway, parked by the side of the road or isolated in a field, the BIBO Survival Trailer is truly ready on arrival with no support required from any other facility. Providing instant peace-of-mind, the trailer can be fully-equipped to provide self-reliance to any individual or family. With one piece of equipment, a totally unprepared user can become equipped for any crisis event.
The BIBO Trailer is an integrated system that can't be found in any other survival trailer. It is the only trailer of its kind that is small enough to be stored in a standard residential garage yet still be strong enough to be loaded with over 2 1/2 tons of equipment and supplies. The BIBO Trailer is definitely NOT just a cargo trailer with boxes of stuff thrown in.
The BIBO Survival Trailer is extremely versatile. The DIY model allow the prepper to start with a custom shell and add options to build a perfect trailer to fit any need or any budget. For those that want the Ultimate Survival Solution, choose the fully equipped BIBO model and be prepared for any situation in one easy step.
It's better to be prepared a year too early, than a minute too late!

As reported all over the place in the last day or two, facebook is changing the terminology behind how users interact with brands. In the future, users will be able to indicate they 'like' brands, as opposed to being 'fans' of them. They say it's a more natural action – and we have to agree.
The good news for brands is that as a result of the change the perceived endorsement threshold is lower (like is an easier action to ask users to take than to become a fan, we think, and we'll get more 'likes') and yet the meaning of a 'like' in terms of brand opportunity to engage with users is the same – brands get the same functionality in terms of building a database of essentially opted in consumers with whom they can engage, and those consumers interactions with the brand are still promoted virally through the wall to their friends.
The interesting result of the change by facebook is this – what do we call our pages and our users now? The aren't 'fanpages' and 'fans' anymore…..what do you think? We're struggling – 'Likers' doesn't exactly work….?

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Eintracht Frankfurt is hoping for more of the same after signing another Serbian forward, Dejan Joveljic, to replace the Real Madrid-bound Luka Jovic.
The Bundesliga club says the 19-year-old Joveljic has signed a five-year deal after joining from Red Star Belgrade, where the now 21-year-old Jovic also made his senior breakthrough before joining Benfica.
Jovic, who scored 17 Bundesliga goals and 10 more in the Europa League for Frankfurt last season, joined Madrid on June 4 for a reported 60 million euros ($67.5 million) with a bonus of 5 million euros ($5.6 million).
Joveljic scored eight goals in 17 games in his breakout season at Red Star and is joining Frankfurt for a reported 4 million euros ($4.5 million).
Frankfurt chairman Fredi Bobic says: "He's still young and will have to learn, but we're very optimistic that he'll settle in with us very quickly here in Frankfurt."
Joveljic is in the Serbia squad for the Under-21 European Championship in Italy this month.

..Coticule.. made in Belgium
Next week I will be giving a workshop for some woodworkers about freehand sharpening and I have been spending quite some time preparing it. True out the last couple of months I researched some related topics and wrote a small essay to illustrate my personal points of view on the subject.
Sharpening is quite an interesting and controversial subject. Propably every woodworker has his own system or opinion regarding it. Well I plead guilty, I am one of them. I am not going to share my thoughts about sharpening today, instead we will look a bit closer at one of my favorite natural stones The Belgian Coticule.
I happened to have some promising raw pieces of rock laying around that I wanted to prepare for the upcoming workshop. I found them in the area where they used to be mined in the southern part of Belgium called Wallonia. Between Luxembourg and Luik there is a small town called Vielsalm where they have been mined since at least the 16th century, probably earlier then that. It is a sedimentary stone which originates out of volcanic ashes and turned into stone by heat and pressure to create swirling veins held in between layers of slate and blue stone. It is a unique geological creation that is only found in a very small region in Belgium and nowhere else on the planet. The picture shows a Coticule vein.
For people who like sharp edges the interesting part is the content of this stone. It consist of paragonite, quartz, white mica (hence the color) and 'granaat'. It is this 'granaat' which is the active sharpening component. The quality of the stone greatly depends on the percentage of these components. The best quality Coticules will have up to 40% 'granaat' particles in them. If this percentage is higher the particles tend to bind together decreasing the effectiveness of the stone. The best stones have 'granaat' particles that are 2 micron or smaller. If there is too much quartz the stone will be too hard and barely usable or just too slow. Sometimes you find small black spots in them and I suspect that is charcoal. I was wondering what these where for a while and no one I talked to and was knowledgable about these stones could tell me anything more until last year when I was in Japan and visited a renown toishi dealer in Kyoto. He was showing us his finest stones and together we examined the surface of them with a microscope. He then told us that the black spots you could see where charcoal. I suspect that it is the same case with the Coticule's, it is still a guess but it would make sense.
Finding stones of really high quality is very difficult and you need considerable experience in sharpening with natural stones in order to determine whether the stone is really fine and suits your needs or not. Last year I visited the only workshop where they still prepare the Belgian stones for retail. I was lucky enough to acquire two very fine Coticule's of considerable size which left me about 500€ poorer. I never regretted it and gave the best one away to my teacher Kaneko-san.
The problem with finding a good Coticule is that you have to rely on salesmen most of the time and with natural sharpening stones it is important that you are able to test and evaluate them before you buy. Unfortunately this is not always an option. Most of the stones you can find are laminated, which means a layer of the white Coticule is glued with epoxy to a layer of blue-purple slate. Just like you would find them in nature, except a little different. Here you can see them sorted and ready to be epoxied to the blue stone.
The blue stone can also be used as a sharpening stone but personally I find them less suitable. They are never as fine as the Coticule's, are much slower and too soft for my own taste.
The stones I bought when visiting the stone workshop where naturally laminated, which are rare. It is advisable to keep a layer of the blue stone attached to them for strength since the white part of the stone can be fragile. At least that is what they say, personally I think it is mainly because of economic reasons that the stones are cut like that and it is not mandatory to glue any backing to them, unless you have a stone with a fault in it.
Today it took me a couple of hours of flattening using a grinder, carborundum stone and diamond plate too flatten some stones to a point where they are usable. I worked on several stones but only one came out really nicely, luckily it was one of the biggest one I have. It is the right one in the picture.
On the left you can see the other large one I worked on. It turns out the be super hard, even the diamond cutting disc had a hard time on it. After an hour I gave up on that one although I might get back to it later but I'm not sure if it will be useable, we'll see. In the middle you can see a small stone which is a cut-off of the nice stone. It is somewhat harder then large stone itself and will make a perfect nagura.
Nagura is the Japanese term for a small stone used to create slurry on the surface which can facilitate the sharpening process. These days diamond plates are often used for this purpose. With the hardest stones this is mandatory and might prove the solution for the other stone.
I haven't used the stone but I sure will tomorrow and I am pretty convinced it will be a winner. I have a lot of experience with these stones and know how to get the most out of them. In general you could categorize Coticule in the #6000 to #8000 range depending on quality which, like I said before, can only be determined by using them and evaluating your edge and bevel. The reason why I like them so much is their speed. They are some of the fastest stones out there and therefore I prefer them as a 'site stone'. When working onsite I often don't have much time too spend on sharpening and then they are just unequaled. For sharpening plane blades which I use for finishing wood I prefer a natural Japanese stone like a Honyama but for anything else Coticule's are sufficient.
It is not so clear in the picture but the good stone on the right is purely Coticule with no blue stone attached to it. It is solid enough to be used as it is and there is no reason to back it up by glueing anything to it.
There is also a museum dedicated to the history of this sharpening stone. I visited it some years ago and for a blinkered sharpening geek like myself it was a very interesting place. It is a small museum but nonetheless I spend a couple of hours wandering around and imagining the days of yore when mining and cutting was done by hand. It is worth a visit if you are ever around there. Besides geological and local history they display many of the old tools that where used for mining and preparing the stones like this grinding wheel used to flatten the surface. I wish I had one like that today…

1. JBL Clip 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker
For business travelers, there's a scenario where a Bluetooth speaker might be needed (at least for me): instead of wandering the streets of a strange city at night, you just want to stay in your room, relax, or do some light work, and you need some background music. A
Its sound effect and battery life are satisfactory. Although waterproof, few people actually use it in swimming pools.
2. Night Owl Keyring Holder
A very interesting gadget I discovered recently is Night Owl keyring holder that can be attached to the wall or any flat surface. The owl is in sleep state, and when you hang up the key ring, it will open its eyes.
It's a cool home decoration, you can have a little fun every time you come into the house.

I should post more...
I say biennially...
But I think I'm going to take it up again. While other services have good uses, journaling here feels nice. The only people watching are those who really cared to seek you out, so you're not just shoving a bunch of text into dozens of faces that don't care.
Mike keeps telling me I should be food blogging. I know I should be saying stuff about games and politics. Plus, we're all getting older and I find that by writing, I remember far more clearly than without. Whatever my life is or isn't what I want it to be, I'll still be making memories with persons who may or may not be here tomorrow.
And I have not much more to say than I am looking forward to this weekend.

For me, the sound of winter is being cocooned in the home, furnace running. Summer is windows open, crickets & cicadas chattering over AC. I think the despair this season imparts for some isn't even the light, it's the diminished sense of connection.
The house is empty for the moment, aside from myself. Sometimes it's electrifying to have a space yourself. Sometimes it cripples you with the vastness. Sometimes I experience both those notions in the time it takes to make some toast.
Does one close their windows on life, so as to observe it and actually take in as much as possible? Or does one throw themselves at every opportunity, so as to seek the truth in harried feckless action rather than reflection.
Something that sticks with me is a night a couple years back. I'd had a few beers that were sitting poorly thus begging off from doing something with Matt like planned. My stomach was cramping and unhappy, so I begged off. Now he's off in Japan teaching. Nights to just be stupid and whatnot can't happen anymore now. Do you grab on to life and hang on to every little event?
We had the Moms over for thanksgiving. Pam stayed overnight, and then my dad picked her up the next day. We did lunch, talked a bit, and they left out the back door. For some reason it's easier to watch people go out the front door. But I turned to Angel a bit after and broke down a moment, realizing that there'd be a day they no longer walk out the back door.
Something I'm not really sure I like about home ownership is that I have this place, and I know that here, I'm going to have to draw a line where certain people aren't going to be in my/our lives anymore and I'm going to experience that memory here in this place.
Sometimes it just paralyses me and I never want to move forward at all ever again.

Is this thing on?
I know, I know. Blogging is dead. etc etc. But this wasn't twitter fodder.
Got the best surprise present yesterday, the wedding of the Jones'. Yes, they were already both last named Jones, so that's serendipitous as all get out for starters. And the wedding itself was not a surprise, but how great the friends and company were was. Friends that I'd grown away from due to dumb workplace fusses were there and all the dead weight melted away like nothing over the course of the evening. The food and drink were great (thanks mandatory Cameron Mitchell) and the Franklin Park Conservatory is still a fantastic venue for such a thing.
And that's what really was the most amazing gift. Steve and Karen were having their wedding, but Angel and I were getting to relive ours in the same place almost 4 years ago. This time? We even got to have some of the cheese. Hey, when you personally shell out 2 yards of cheddar for just cheese, you kinda want some. But seriously it was amazing. And everything came out perfect, which you hope for from a wedding but never know if that will happen until the chaos forms into an orchestra. I'd like to think we set a good standard. They did forget a flask, but well even that was fine because the beer paced us well for follow up at Tip-Top later. Tyler did a great job with a fine but short wedding ceremony. Even the DJ really impressed me, as he did an on-the-spot acquisition of Gungnam style that was the song of the evening based on crowd reaction. Anything that could mean less Chicken Dance/YMCA/Cha-Cha slide from the mandatory wedding soundtrack is great.
But the best was getting to spend it with my wife Angel. After getting our people meets out earlier, it was just her and I side by side for the rest of the day. It was wonderful.
Being reminded why we married, via both place and person, will be one of the best days of my life for a long time.

Dear old people of America: Please Die :(
I don't ask that rashly or anything, but I ask that you do so for the best interest of America. I get that you're old, and you see brown people everywhere. I get that you grew up in the America of white privilege. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't benefited from it. But please, die. Aside from my family, I'm done with you. I mean I'm done w/ my family's politics too, but I'll cut them a few years of exception because of blood.
The birther thing? Shut up. Tea parties? Shut up. Immigration? Shut up. Health care? Shut up. Complaining about the deficit incurred by 2 wars when you went in feet first under a hawk President? Shut up. Defense of Marriage? Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
I hate you. You're killing America. Please die.

Recipe time: Kale and eggs, pu-pu platter skewers
For those who like to cook, I have recipes for you. One is kinda vegetarian (fried egg and kale), one is for the carnivores. Neither are difficult at all, which makes me kind of embarassed to write them up but whatever.
First is fried egg with kale. It's really just a better for version of toad in the hole. De-vein some kale, then chop it up. Now, toast. Yeah, toss some toast in the toaster. We'll come back to it. So now saute the kale with some garlic (1 clove per person?) and some lemon juice. The recipe didn't call for it, but I thought some balsamic vinegar was nice too. Scoot that to the side of the pan and crack an egg, so it's sunny side up. Wait for the egg to cook and plate it on the fresh toast and kale. You could add some meat on there too if you like, but you'll be surprised how hearty the kale is. Makes me actually not feel like I have to eat a dozen eggs in order to be full.
The beef is super simple. Get a skirt steak, ie fajita meat. Now tenderize the hell out of it. I've got a Jaccard (a punchy-stabby thing that looks like leftover from Alucard's inventory), which I use before beating it with a meat tenderizer too (belts and suspenders dontcha know). After that, slice it like thick beef jerky. Next, the marinade:
2 parts soy sauce
1 part seasoned rice vinegar (also used in making sushi rice for sushi, which everyone should try to see how easy it is)
2 cloves garlic, crushed, sliced
2 tsp grated ginger (don't use powdered or picked or placeboed or whatever ginger. Every cook should have a root chilling in their freezer, they cost like $2, last forever, can be bought at any generic american chain grocery and have tons of uses. Zero good excuses)
Mix it up, put it and the sliced beef in some tupper ware and let sit. Fortunately this isn't one of those marinade overnight things, 30m-60m will do (though by all means, marinading all night isn't bad).
Soak some skewers 15m ahead of this and then pierce the beef strips so they're all stretched out. Now grill. They don't really take long at all, crack a beer and flip them when you're halfway through it. You could probably do oven or the broiler or heck even fry them or whatever. But personally I'll take any opportunity to grill in the winter. Now you have the recipe for pu-pu platter beef skewers. Not hard but shockingly (or not?) crowd pleasing.
So, made anything good lately?
