The Great A.I. Awakening. Four days later, a couple of hundred journalists, entrepreneurs and advertisers from all over the world gathered in Google's London engineering office for a special announcement.
The Great A.I. Awakening. Using Artificial Intelligence to Write Self-Modifying/Improving Programs. This article is the first in a series of three.
See also: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Introduction Is it possible for a computer program to write its own programs? Could human software developers be replaced one day by the very computers that they master? Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen explains how AI will change the world. AI's Language Problem. Paul Allen: The Singularity Isn't Near. Futurists like Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil have argued that the world is rapidly approaching a tipping point, where the accelerating pace of smarter and smarter machines will soon outrun all human capabilities.
They call this tipping point the singularity, because they believe it is impossible to predict how the human future might unfold after this point. Once these machines exist, Kurzweil and Vinge claim, they'll possess a superhuman intelligence that is so incomprehensible to us that we cannot even rationally guess how our life experiences would be altered. Vinge asks us to ponder the role of humans in a world where machines are as much smarter than us as we are smarter than our pet dogs and cats.
Kurzweil, who is a bit more optimistic, envisions a future in which developments in medical nanotechnology will allow us to download a copy of our individual brains into these superhuman machines, leave our bodies behind, and, in a sense, live forever. The Extraordinary Link Between Deep Neural Networks and the Nature of the Universe. In the last couple of years, deep learning techniques have transformed the world of artificial intelligence.
One by one, the abilities and techniques that humans once imagined were uniquely our own have begun to fall to the onslaught of ever more powerful machines. Deep neural networks are now better than humans at tasks such as face recognition and object recognition. The Business Implications of Machine Learning – Free Code Camp. As buzzwords become ubiquitous they become easier to tune out.
Human and Artificial Intelligence May Be Equally Impossible to Understand. Dmitry Malioutov can't say much about what he built.
As a research scientist at IBM, Malioutov spends part of his time building machine learning systems that solve difficult problems faced by IBM's corporate clients. One such program was meant for a large insurance corporation. It was a challenging assignment, requiring a sophisticated algorithm. When it came time to describe the results to his client, though, there was a wrinkle.
"We couldn't explain the model to them because they didn't have the training in machine learning." In fact, it may not have helped even if they were machine learning experts. As exciting as their performance gains have been, though, there's a troubling fact about modern neural networks: Nobody knows quite how they work. True AI is both logically possible and utterly implausible. Suppose you enter a dark room in an unknown building.
Mapping the Brain to Build Better Machines. Take a three year-old to the zoo, and she intuitively knows that the long-necked creature nibbling leaves is the same thing as the giraffe in her picture book.
That superficially easy feat is in reality quite sophisticated. The cartoon drawing is a frozen silhouette of simple lines, while the living animal is awash in color, texture, movement and light. Is AlphaGo Really Such a Big Deal? In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue system defeated the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov.
At the time, the victory was widely described as a milestone in artificial intelligence. But Deep Blue's technology turned out to be useful for chess and not much else. Computer science did not undergo a revolution. Kurzweil Interviews Minsky: Is Singularity Near? The Hidden Algorithms Underlying Life. To the computer scientist Leslie Valiant, "machine learning" is redundant.
A Google DeepMind Algorithm Uses Deep Learning and More to Master the Game of Go. Google has taken a brilliant and unexpected step toward building an AI with more humanlike intuition, developing a computer capable of beating even expert human players at the fiendishly complicated board game Go. The objective of Go, a game invented in China more than 2,500 years ago, is fairly simple: players must alternately place black and white "stones" on a grid of 19 horizontal and 19 vertical lines with the aim of surrounding the opponent's pieces, and avoiding having one's own pieces surrounded.
How close are we to creating artificial intelligence... It is uncontroversial that the human brain has capabilities that are, in some respects, far superior to those of all other known objects in the cosmos. It is the only kind of object capable of understanding that the cosmos is even there, or why there are infinitely many prime numbers, or that apples fall because of the curvature of space-time, or that obeying its own inborn instincts can be morally wrong, or that it itself exists.
Nor are its unique abilities confined to such cerebral matters. The cold, physical fact is that it is the only kind of object that can propel itself into space and back without harm, or predict and prevent a meteor strike on itself, or cool objects to a billionth of a degree above absolute zero, or detect others of its kind across galactic distances. But no brain on Earth is yet close to knowing what brains do in order to achieve any of that functionality.

Beyond Zero and One: Machines, Psychedelics, and Consciousness by Andrew Smart review – inside the minds of computers. Do androids dream of electric Kool-Aid acid tests? If there's to be any hope for us, they will. That is the message of Andrew Smart's splendidly mind-bending book, which mashes up Alan Turing, The Matrix, Immanuel Kant, "zombie AI", Leibniz, and research on psychedelic drugs.

Trinity improves its overall record to 14-9 this season, as well as a 13-3 record against Division III opponents.
Wilson Lambeth and Tilden Oliver received senior recognition at the final regular season home match of the year for the Tigers, as well as teaming up at line one singles for the match against Schreiner.
In addition to the doubles win with his fellow senior, Lambeth also picked up two wins at line one singles, extending his winning streak to 11 consecutive matches and improving his overall record to 14-6 this season.
Oliver also won at lines four and five singles, improving his record on those lines to 7-1 this season.
Cameron Krimbill, Jace Akagi-Okuma, and Artur Zigman all won two singles matches on the day as well. Zigman remains undefeated with his 8-0 singles mark, while Krimbill is 13-10 overall and Akagi-Okuma is now 11-8.
Wilson Hamilton won line three singles against Schreiner, while Christian Settles was a line six winner in the Texas Lutheran match.
Zigman teamed up with Krimbill and Settles to pick up doubles wins, while Hamilton partnered up with Settles and Akagi-Okuma. Hamilton and Settles are now 10-3 as a doubles team this season.
After winning at line one doubles with Lambeth, Oliver joined Lars Wiik at line three doubles for a win against Texas Lutheran.
For the second straight year, Wiik was awarded the prestigious Jimmy Moses Award, which is named for one of the members of Trinity's first scholarship team in the late 1950s. The yearly honor is bestowed upon the Trinity player who best represents the enduring spirit and moral character of a Tiger student-athlete both on and off the court. The award was presented by Mr. Moses' daughter, Anne Moses Ledet.
The Tigers will defend their Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference title April 19-21 at the SCAC Championship in Sherman, Texas.

…is probably a unique one!
Arjun and I are apart during the week, as I am at Law School in Kingston, 3 hours away from Toronto! So we get to live together only on the weekends. Granted it is not the ideal situation, but I'll be back in Toronto with him, forever, at the end of this school year. And for two people who have never lived together, this whole living-together-on-the-weekends, is a great starter course haha! Also, every Friday, I wake up with a skip in my step, and the hour before he arrives is like the hour before opening Christmas presents. I'm giddy, bouncing off the walls, excited, and eager! I've also got in the habit of making him something special for when he walks in the door – lately the roster has been, a banana chocolate chip loaf, slow cooker lemon chicken, and today, some delicious chicken stir-fry! All this, as a thank you for the long 3 hour drive he's completed just for me. And he is a Mr. Incredible, he drives back to Toronto at 4 or 5 am on Monday mornings, just so he can hold me for another night on Sunday 🙂 I love him, I really really do.

Alpha GPC 50% Capsules
Alpha GPC, also known as L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine, is a unique and naturally occurring cholinergic nootropic, which can also be consumed as a dietary supplement.
Alpha GPC has been shown to increase levels of acetylcholine in the brain via its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, where it becomes metabolized into choline, a precursor to Acetylcholine.
- In addition to this, Alpha GPC has been found to increase levels of dopamine within the cerebellum and frontal cortex.
This naturally occurring choline source does not only have significant nootropic properties but has been shown to enhance cell membrane health, improve physical recovery and performance, and increase in Somatropin - or HGH, production.

I'm in kind of a messy place in my mind right now. This is not a bad thing at all, I'm enjoying how unpredictable life is, and how even I'm doing things to surprise myself, but it meant that I needed a break. This urgent need to get the fuck away coincided with a teacher friend of mines holiday from school so she and I arranged a super last minute trip to Barcelona… one of my favourite places in the world.
I only ever really travel with work or travel home to see the family, so it was my first time arranging a trip like this and my first time holidaying with a friend but I am incredibly pleased to say that it was a total dream. The whole trip went super smoothly from planning to execution and I even took 3 full days off work. I came back feeling positive, refreshed and ready for yet more chaos.
I am not a religious woman, however one of the stand out memories for me was La Sagrada Familia. I've seen it before briefly from the outside, so this time we bought tickets and headed on in. We got in at 6PM, just as the sun was setting. The design is out of this world and during the sunset, the sun is sitting behind the most breathtaking burnt orange, yellow and red stained glass windows. The entire room is aglow with the light of the dying day. I was mesmerised and could hardly tear my eyes away to look at the rest of the wondrous creation.It wasn't just the colour of the windows in la Sagrada Familia that touched me, or the way the lowering sun lit them up, but the way the colours permeated the room. They bathed the walls, the people and the air in their majesty. As you stood there, you became the colour. You breathed it. It made me feel like life has some kind of purpose (because what else is there, other than existing to enjoy beauty like this?), it made me feel light but strong. It was intense but not frightening.
If you find yourself in Barcelona (and I hope for your sake, that some day you do) then it's absolutely worth the ticket price to look around la Sagrada Familia. Next time I'd enjoy it with the audio. I'm glad not to have had it this time as I'd not have been able to concentrate so fully on just feeling what was around me, but next time I'd like to learn more about the history and process of this wonder of the Earth.

Serves – 6To prepare the chicken: 10 oz mushrooms
2 T butter
Sea salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
6 oz goat cheese, softened
3 T coconut oil
Parsley, for garnish (optional)
To prepare the sauce: 2 T butter
1½ cups mushrooms
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup chicken broth
Sea salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
- Place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- Melt 2 T butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their liquid and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to flatten the breast until it is about ½-inch or so thick.
- Coat each chicken breast with goat cheese and top with sautéed mushrooms.
- Roll up the chicken breasts as though they were burritos. Tie with kitchen string and then season with salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
- To prepare the sauce, melt the remaining 2 T butter in a medium sauté pan. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their liquid.
- Add the white wine and chicken broth, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- While making the sauce, melt the coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken roll-ups on all sides (in 2 batches to allow for enough room) until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before removing the string and slice into 4-5 pieces per breast. Top with the sauce and garnish with parsley if desired.

Opinion: Nicki Minaj's new single 'Chun-Li' and its music video are genius works of art, and may forever change the fighting game landscape
Move over Kanye, there's a new lyrical genius in town
As of the writing of this article, Nicki Minaj's music video for her new song, Chun-Li, is trending in fifth place on all of YouTube, and has 3.1 million views in less than 24 hours. Deservedly so.
Though we're not going to embed the video itself due to its relatively NSFW nature, allowing such a piece of inspired art to go by without proper acknowledgement would mean we're not doing our jobs as purveyors of current fighting game news and culture.
If you haven't already seen the music video for Chun-Li five times yet, please do yourself a favor and go check it out right here. It's more important that you do that than finish reading this right away.
Assuming everyone still reading has hit their five-view minimum quota, I wanted to take a closer look at Chun-Li in an attempt to unravel at list a small portion of the genius behind the lyrical content and video execution.
Minaj's ability to synthesize and juxtapose notable icons from vastly different avenues of popular culture in a way that sheds new meaning on them may be unparalleled.
Before we dig in, that godlike Photoshop of Minaj's face on the Chun figure from the banner was done by our guy DemonDan, and you can view the full image by clicking here:
Click images for larger versions
Where to start? As alluded to, Minaj's latest single brings together a fist full of recognizable names from mainstream music, film, television and video games. King Kong, Storm from X-Men, Lara Croft, Prince, 2 Chainz, Scarface and, of course, Chun-Li all come together to promote a very important message for our youth.
On first listen and/or read through, less thoughtful audiences may deem this a cheap spattering of relatable icons in a lazy attempt to reach as wide a demographic as possible, but that's why it's necessary to explore this song at least five times. Once you've done that, you'll surely see the deeper meaning. We won't spoil what it is.
It's no secret that Minaj's status as an A-list celebrity means she likely doesn't experience the daily struggles so many of her fans face, but her artistic choice to convey her entire music video in "selfie-style" as though captured entirely on a smart phone immediately bridges the social gap and puts her on a common level with fans.
The majority of the video sees Nicki in various poses on a couch as she raps, sometimes cutting to quick shots of her breasts, butt or a close up of her in an overly sexualized position to keep viewers appropriately on edge while also challenging pre-established social norms. We won't spoil what those are.
One of the early comments on the YouTube video claimed that listening to this song and watching this video would effectively make someone intellectually dumber. I hope to speak more to people of this mind than anyone else with the next bit here.
I'd like to focus on one verse inparticular as it's one of the to times Chun's name actually comes up in the song.
Borrowing from Al Pacino's famous "Bad Guy" monologue from Brian De Palma's 1983 cult classic, Scarface, Minaj passionately yells, "They need rappers like me! They need rappers like me! So they can get on their f****** keyboards! And make me the bad guy... Chun-Li."
This is a bold choice considering Chun-Li's consistent status as one of Street Fighter's leading protagonists, always aligned with the good guys and never once hinting at a heal turn in the last 30 years. Again, one may be inclined to see this as a lazy inclusion of a recognizable name that has absolutely nothing to do with the current train of thought, but you'd be dead wrong.
Minaj identifies with the Strongest Woman in the World through more than just having considerably thiccer than average thighs. Both are inherantly good and nearly incorruptable, but the widely toxic social media landscape of 2018 can lead to wrongful deformation of character, and even those as pure as Nicki or Chun are not immune to this.
Surely the analysis could go on for hours, as the levels of intellectual excavation to be explored in Chun-Li are seemingly infinite. We'll call it quits here, but would love too hear what messages came through to you as u listened to this immediately immortalized bit of fighting game artistic history.
Feel free too share how it changed ur life in the comments below.

Dive Log
Back to
Back to
Cayman Brac &
Little Cayman, British West Indies
June, 1986
I've learned two truisms in life.
One is you can never go back and shouldn't even try, and second
is that sooner or alter your luck will run out. These both
came true in 1986 when we chose to return to the Cayman Islands;
this year staying at Cayman Brac (Bluff). From start to
finish, one thing after another made the trip somewhat less than
ideal. But it was still pretty damn good.
Christopher Columbus sighted Cayman
Brac and its sister island, Little Cayman, on 10 May
1503 when his ship was blown off course during a trip
between Hispaniola and Panama. He named them "Las
Tortugas" because of the many turtles he spotted on the
islands. The Cayman Islands were renamed by Sir Francis
Drake, who came upon the islands during a voyage in
1586. He used the word "Caymanas", taken from the Carib
name for crocodiles after seeing many of the large
crocodilians. Many people believe he had only seen the
Rock Iguanas that inhabit the island today.
During the heyday of piracy,
pirates would use Cayman Brac as a haven and a place to
replenish their supplies as there are a number of fresh
water wells on the island and had many sources of food
included in the local flora and fauna.
The first settlement on Little
Cayman was in the 17th century, when turtle fishermen
set up camps. After a raid by a Spanish privateer, the
settlements were abandoned in 1671 and the island was
not resettled until 1833, when Blossom Village
was established by a few families. By the early 20th
century, a few hundred people lived on Little Cayman and
exported phosphate ore, coconuts, and marine rope.
Our flight would take us from Omaha to
Chicago to Miami and then on to Grand Cayman; a route we would
never take again on an airline we would never use again.
Upon arrival in Chicago, we were informed that due to weather
and the fact that the pilot was over his scheduled flight time,
our flight to Miami was delayed several hours and our flight
from Miami to Grand Cayman would put us in too late to fly over
to Cayman Brac as scheduled.
In Miami, Customer Services rearranged our
flight and gave us the name of a hotel near the airport to
overnight. The airline would of course pick up the tab -
bull shit!. They later paid for the night's lodging but
not the taxi fate, meals, or make any reparations for the loss
of a day of diving. We flew into Grand Cayman expecting to
see the asphalt runway and brick and tin airport of six years
ago. What we flew into was a million dollar international
airport with a beautiful modern A-frame lobby with marble floors
and attached shops of fine gifts. Obviously casinos and
the island economy was doing well. In the lobby on a black
marble column under a security-protected case was a beautiful
trophy for marlin fishing. The trophy was of a blue marlin
breaking water. It was about three feet tall and was so
realistic that we had to check to see if it wasn't a taxidermy
mount. It was a work of art.
We rented a taxi and paid for the hotel
room that the airline said they would pre-pay for the
inconvenience, and spent the night in a dingy room with a loud
air conditioner. The following morning we returned to the
airport to connect with our flight over to Cayman Brac. We
were flown in a small Cesna over to the island and landed on the
more typical gravel runway with a single hut as the airport -
that's the Cayman Islands we remembered. One difference,
there was a large bump/rise in the middle of the airstrip.
After checking in and shuffling our gear
to the dive shop, we signed up for the checkout dive at "Radar
Reef." The weather had been playing havoc with the diving
creating waves too rough to dive the usual hot spots. It
was rainy and windy every day we were there save one. So
much for our luck with the weather. What was surprising
was how clear the water was in spite of the poor weather and
rough conditions. But along with the storms came pressure
centers and headaches to match. The first dive became a
battle to clear my ears. When the battle was over, I had a
new battle with clearing my mask - a problem that plagued me for
as long as I dove.
Well, not the best way to start but there
we were and we were going to make the best of it. The dive
shop and employees did everything in their power to make us feel
welcome in spite of everything that had happened and were as
tired of the weather as we were. The air temp and water
were about the same, 65-70 degrees.
The meals at Tiara were excellent and
little can be said about the dining here that hasn't already
been said about the other islands already. It was
typically American favorites for lunch and for dinner it was
more "islandized" with meals like coconut grouper. We were
always served more food than we should have eaten.
Our next dive - "Duppy (Ghost) Reef" - was
a good example of cattle-boat diving. Somehow we managed
to run into another group of divers from Texas. At the
reef, it was a mass of people in a small area with divers
crawling over one another on and off the boat. The reef
wasn't anything spectacular other than it did have nice sea
fans. It was a shallow dive and we were in the water for
about an hour.
We did experience something on this island
that was new - drinks were free. As long as you drank
there at the hotel, there was no charge or limit on what you
drank. We drank a lot of banana daiquiris and beer.
If you wanted a beer on the dive boat, then you had to pay.
We occasionally broke with tradition and had a beer on the boat,
but not very often.
Along with the overcast conditions, we
were plagued with another condition - no-see-ums. The
scientific name for the no see um is Ceratopogonidae,
but it has accumulated many common names. These include the
sand flea, sand fly, biting midge and
punkie or punky. The insect is a bloodsucker many
times smaller than a mosquito, but with a bite inversely more
painful. The sting causes a large welt that can irritate the
skin for several days, causing severe itching. It is tiny enough
to pass through window screens, making it a nuisance. We
ran into them on other islands but not to this extreme.
Some divers combat them with OFF or Cutters and others use an
Avon product called Skin-So-Soft. Anything helps but
nothing works completely. Fortunately, they prefer the
shade. Unfortunately, it was always cloudy so always
"Radar Reef" was a pleasant dive along the
communications cable that runs from Cayman Brac over to Grand
Cayman. "Cemetery Wall" was a nice wall dive where we
entered the wall at 90 feet and dove through the wall towards
the surface. The weather was still overcast with
occasional showers and the water conditions were rough.
The major difficulty in rolling seas is getting in and out of
the dive boat. For the boat's pilot, the challenge was to
run the boat through the surf among the shallow reefs for
"Kissame Reef" was named after a sunken
tugboat that sits on its starboard side in the sand. It
was a nice dive for nudibranchs and skates. For once, the
conditions were calm but still cloudy.
A bit of information...
A nudibranch is
a member of the Nudibranchia, a group of soft-bodied, marine
gastropod mollusks which shed their shells after their larval
stage.They are noted for their often extraordinary colors and
striking forms. Currently, about 2,300 valid species of
nudibranchs are known. Nudibranchs are often casually
called sea slugs, but many sea slugs belong to several taxonomic
groups which are not closely related to nudibranchs.
Skates are
cartilaginous fish belonging to the family Rajidae in the
superorder Batoidea of rays.
That evening during
dinner, we were entertained by the children of South Bay Primary
School. They were dressed in traditional costume and sang
familiar songs like "Sloop John B." and "Lemmon Tree." It
was very entertaining.
"The Shoots" on east
Cayman Brac was appropriately named. A beautiful wall to
dive, but swimming against the current sucked up a lot of air.
On the return trip we shot by the wall.
"Patch Reef" was
a deep wall dive where we saw large schools of black
durgeons - a beautiful but aggressive fish. It
propels itself through the water effortlessly with
continuous dorsal and ventral fins. They are coal
black in color with the exception of a thin neon blue
line where the fins meet the body. A few more fish
The trumpet fish also vary in
color depending on the surroundings. A
long flat file-shaped fish with a narrow head
and small mouth, these predators hang vertically
among the sea grass and fans awaiting their
Anemones look like giant gummy worms.
Varying in color from yellow to green to purple, they
look like a clump of baseball bats stuck together with
their handles sticking up. At the slightest touch,
they retract.
On June 6th we dove "End of Island Reef" -
a shallow dive with pillar coral formations. There were
large schools of grunts, butterfly fish, wrasse, parrot fish,
rock beauties, etc. The weather was still overcast, windy,
and a cool 65 degrees. That evening we were to make a
night dive at "Buccaneer Reef." Those who chose to go met
at the dive shop at 7:30. Included was a father and
daughter who we struck up a conversation with on the trip to the
dive site. The daughter had dove with Jacque Cousteau and
the crew of the Calypso. It was part of a youth
oceanography program. She was not impressed and it was her
feeling that they were not safe divers. The French have a
system of bobbing up and down at different depths and used a
completely different set of tables than in the United States.
The night was overcast which made gearing
up difficult and Dad was frustrated to the point of telling me
to go on without him. I said there wasn't any hurry and
the others wouldn't get too far ahead of us. Surface
conditions were calm but walking over boulders to the water in
full gear was difficult and tiring. We did see numerous
rays, large crabs, several eels, and basket stars as well as a
small octopus that was rescued from a crab by one of the divers.
It lost one tentacle but it was a small price to pay for the
rescue. After the ordeal, it seemed willing to let the
divers hold and pet it. I ran out of air early, which was
strange for me. Since I didn't have a night light, I
signaled my return to the beach and crawled my way back.
Our last day of diving, THE SUN CAME OUT.
With the change in weather and surface conditions, it was
determined that we could make a dive on Little Cayman - the
third island in the chain. The boat ride was going to be
long so the cooler was packed and we left at 9 AM. Little
Cayman is about the size of Cayman Brac but not nearly as
populated - the island terrain is more rugged. Actor
Burgess Meredith had a house on the island at the time.
The island may have been nondescript but the diving was anything
That afternoon, we made our last dive
for the trip at "Fantastic Reef" on Little Cayman.
And it was fantastic. A clean shallow reef dive,
we spent a large amount of time in a clearing that
seemed to attract large schools of fish and some larger
fish including a grouper that you could pet if so
inclined. Off to the deeper side of the wall was a
pair of spotted eagle rays that probably had a 20 foot
wing span. There were Queen Conch alive and
littering the sands everywhere. Majestic angel
fish with their gold-trimmed scales and eyes, and a
large barracuda smiling pretty for the photographer.
The fish and coral all seemed brighter and bigger than
anywhere else.
All in all, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac
were both excellent dive islands and the Tiara Beach Hotel was a
comfortable and hospitable stay. The dive operation was
top notch and the food was excellent. If it hadn't been
for the weather, the trip might have been ideal.
But, fate wasn't finished with us yet.
We paid our fee to leave the island, went through customers, and
retraced our flight back to Chicago. We went through
customs there and ran to catch our connecting flight.
There was no need to hurry, the flight had been delayed six
hours due to fog.

Update - 2:30pm: Mrs May wrapped up her speech with a positive outlook for the future and said that the UK and EU neighbours would "stay linked by the many ties and values we have in common".
However, she acknowledged "there will be ups and downs over the months ahead" in the "rough and tumble" of the Brexit talks and that "no-one will get everything they want".
2:15pm: The Prime Minister brought up the border issue again in her speech, saying that the UK has already set out two options - a customs partnership or a "highly streamlined customs arrangement".
For the first option, at the border, the UK would mirror the EU's requirements for imports from the rest of the world, applying the same tariffs and the same rules of origin as the EU for those goods arriving in the UK and intended for the EU.
Under option two there would be "a range of measures to minimise frictions to trade, together with specific provisions for Northern Ireland".
There must be "no hard border" in Ireland after #Brexit, Theresa May says, saying UK will commit to keeping standards "as high" as the EU's and entering a "customs arrangement"https://t.co/bnayw3IWCU #RoadtoBrexit pic.twitter.com/jBb2IsJumz— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) March 2, 2018
2:05pm: Addressing a key concern on the movement of people, Mrs May said free movement will come to an end" as a result of Brexit but "UK citizens will still want to work and study in EU countries - just as EU citizens will want to do the same here".
On the EU criticism of the UK's "cherry-picking", she said: "What would be cherry-picking would be if we were to seek a deal where our rights and obligations were not held in balance. And I have been categorically clear that is not what we are going to do."
The Prime Minister said that the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK would end and that she wanted to make sure the UK had a role in data protection arrangements.
2pm: Mrs May addressed the border issue early on her speech, acknowledging the particular challenges faced by Northern Ireland and Ireland.
The Prime Minister rejected the suggestion from some Brexiteers that the UK could unilaterally decide not to impose a hard border.
She said: "It is not good enough to say 'we won't introduce a hard border; if the EU forces Ireland to do it, that's down to them'.
"We chose to leave; we have a responsibility to help find a solution.
"But we can't do it on our own. It is for all of us to work together."
She went on the say that the UK wanted freedom to negotiate trade deals around the world, control of laws and "as frictionless a border as possible" with the EU.

The Prime Minister reassured that "no-one should be in any doubt about our commitment to the joint report we agreed in December" and said she hoped any issues with this withdrawal agreement would be resolved in the coming days.
1:45pm: In setting out her "vision for the future economic partnership" between the two, Mrs May began her speech by reiterating an early pledge to "make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few, but for every one of us" which will guide her negotiations.
Mrs May said that any deal reached must respect the result of the referendum, but stressed "tt was a vote to take control of our borders, laws and money", and "not a vote for a distant relationship with our neighbours".
10am: UK Prime Minister Theresa May is to deliver a keynote speech today on Brexit, just days after the EU published its draft Withdrawal Agreement, which Britain rejects.
Today's speech will focus on the future economic relationship between the UK and the EU, with Mrs May planning to tell EU leaders she wants the "deepest and broadest possible" trade agreement with the bloc as she seeks to lay the ground for the next phase of the Brexit negotiations.
In a keenly awaited keynote address due to begin at 1.30pm today, Mrs May will set out her vision of a free trade deal based on maintaining "high standards" of regulation, while managing any future divergence by the UK from existing EU rules.
While she will say that she wants Britain to have the freedom to strike trade deals around the world, it should be possible to agree a relationship with the EU where they continue to "support each other's interests".
At the same time she will stress that any agreement must respect the outcome of the 2016 referendum vote to take back control of "our borders, laws and money".
After her rejection on Wednesday of a draft EU proposal for Northern Ireland to remain in the single market and the customs union - unlike the rest of the UK - to avoid the return of hard border, she will say it must also preserve the UK's "union of nations".
Theresa May is getting ready to deliver a major speech on Brexit. She'll have the final word in what's been a dramatic week https://t.co/q2taa8DlxE pic.twitter.com/kSHSIdD6C8— Bloomberg (@business) March 2, 2018
Speaking at the Mansion House in the City of London Mrs May will set out "five tests" to guide Britain's approach to the continuing negotiations.
They are:
- The agreement must respect the outcome of the referendum vote to "take control of our borders, laws and money".
- The agreement must endure, without the need to return to the negotiating table "because things have broken down".
- It must protect jobs and security, with Britain and the EU continuing to pursue the "shared goals" of growing their economies while keeping their people safe.
- It must be consistent with Britain remaining "a modern, open, outward-looking, tolerant, European democracy" that stands by its international obligations.
- It must strengthen "our union of nations and our union of people".
Her speech comes after European Council president Donald Tusk warned that her insistence on taking Britain out of the single market and the customs union meant it could not enjoy "frictionless trade" with the EU after Brexit.
At talks in Downing Street on Thursday, where she briefed him on the address, Mr Tusk told her: "Friction is an inevitable side-effect of Brexit by nature."

Italian food seems to speak right to my family's soul. Probably because the hubs is (almost) a full blooded Italian, and through him, my boys are pretty close. We make it a point to talk to them about their heritage since it's something we're proud of, and we also make it a point to teach them how to make the same authentic dishes their Nonna & Nonno made for their Dad growing up so that they too can keep the tradition going for their kids.
And while this heart-warming, pasta in white sauce dish, the Italian equivalent of buttered noodles has always been a comfort food for my family, occassionally my American sticks it's nose in. And that's how we get these glorious hybrid dishes, like a Cajun version of pasta Alfredo with chicken.
Your favorite pasta, rich, creamy alfredo sauce, chunks of white chicken, with Cajun spice mixed right in. Chicken Alfredo gets a facelift with our new twist, and it's now even easier in this quick and easy one pot meal version. Betcha didn't think a meal made almost entirely of noodles and sauce could get any easier, I know I didn't, but prepare to be 'wowed' and won over to the one pot wonder cause.
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size chunks
- 3 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz. dried fettuccini pasta, broken in half
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt & pepper, to taste
- Add the oil to a dutch oven, or other large pot. Heat over medium heat for a minute or two, when the oil is hot add the chicken and the Cajun seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add in the garlic and stirring often, so it doesn't burn and turn bitter, continue cooking for another minute.
- Stir in the milk and broth, scraping up and browned bits or spices stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the pasta to the pot, stirring as you do so it doesn't clump and stick together. Cover and bring to a rapid, rolling boil, continuing to stir the mixture occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the pasta simmer, covered, for 9-11 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking. Cook until the time's up, or until there's only 1/2 inch of liquid left in the bottom of the pot.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheese until melted and evenly incorporated. Season with salt & pepper, and serve immediately.
- This version is more on the mild-side spice-wise. If you'd like more of a kick, add extra Cajun seasoning, to taste, as desired.

Women artists celebrated in 'You Go Girl!' at Heckscher
"You Go Girl! Celebrating Women Artists," the final exhibition in a series drawn from the permanent collection of the Heckscher Museum of Art in observance of its 95th anniversary, explores challenges female artists faced well into the 20th century that male colleagues never experienced.
Women's place was in the home. Many were not permitted to enroll in college. The term "coed," meaning female student, is a throwback to a time when such women were higher education pioneers. In the 1890s, William Merritt Chase was among the foremost artists encouraging women. Among those studying at his Shinnecock Hills summer school was Georgia O'Keeffe, represented in Heckscher's show with her 1956 "Machu Picchu, Peru" watercolor.
Even when admitted to art schools, women remained handicapped by social conventions banning them from drawing nude male models. Women's suffrage activist Alice Morgan Wright was not allowed to sketch nude males at the Art Students League but got around the restriction by attending boxing and wrestling matches. Her 1930 Heckscher print "Nude" reflects her studies of muscular male figures.
Before art schools allowed women, access to training was by accident of birth — their brother or father was a painter — or marriage. Mary Nimmo Moran, wife of landscape artist Thomas Moran, who adopted East Hampton as his home, was the sole female member of England's Royal Society of Painter-Etchers. She signed her works M.N. Moran (as in her 1880 Heckscher etching "Solitude"), a gender-obfuscation tactic deployed by 19th-century women artists and writers.
Marrying an artist sometimes proved problematic. Rhoda Holmes Nicholls — her 1890s watercolor, "Thistle Down and Dark Trees, Shinnecock," is in the show — married artist Burr Nicholls. Shortly after one of her works was accpected by the Paris Salon, while his was rejected, they divorced.
Elaine de Kooning was an artist in her own right when she married Abstract Expressionist Willem. Their two-artist union survived until his death in 1997. Her 1948 "Blue Mountain #6" painting pays homage to Blue Mountain College in North Carolina, where she studied and he taught.
The most confrontational piece in the show, challenging male authority, is May Stevens' 1971 print "Big Daddy Paper Doll," which also addressed thoughts on racism and the Vietnam War.
Stevens is representative of most of the art by women in the Heckscher collection in that the majority of works are by women who gained traction from the 1970s feminist movement. Among the most prominent is Hamptons artist Audrey Flack, whose tearful 1972 "Lady Madonna" overlooks a gallery of representational art, contrasting with the 1996 abstract construction/painting "Relationships (Kandinsky #1)" by Stony Brook's Howardina Pindell.
The centerpiece, selected by Heckscher curator Lisa Chalif, is Miriam Shapiro's 1976 "Berthe Morisot & Me" collage. The "femmage" as Schapiro called it — she died in June — surrounds an image of Morisot's painting of genteel women with quilt-like squares representing applied-art skills that women were limited to in their domestic careers.
You go girl, indeed.

Expect a few pieces to make it below the table into the slop bucket for recycling and about 2 pieces each to make it onto the keeps board. We'll fire and glaze keeps ready for collection in about 4 weeks time.

Create with clay
We'll show you how
Working from a model and expressing through clay. People of all abilities including newcomers welcome. The aim of the workshop is to create something with a resemblance to the human figure – whether abstract or vaguely representative. Prior to the model's arrival the tutor will commence with a short demonstration on how to build the clay model with firing in mind ( so as not to explode in the kiln) and will discuss the type of clay being used to negate the use of an armature. The tutor will then offer support and advise throughout the clay modelling from life session. Pieces will be dried out completely and then fired ready for collection approximately 4-6 weeks later. Final pieces can be kept indoors or outdoors. Some life drawing experience is desirable though not totally essential. Group size is approximately 10-12 people max.

The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) received a letter from one of its members outlining a long list of challenges the business has endured through State Farm's mandated parts bidding process.
The following essay was provided by a repair facility operating in one of State Farm's test markets. It is a reflection of views formed while participating in the program.
Here is the unabridged, unedited account of this shop's experience.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government [State Farm] and I'm here to help.'"-Ronald Reagan 1986. By paraphrasing President Reagan's statement, we can all relate to what the newly mandated bidding program, PartsTrader, is going to mean to the collision industry.
How do you improve on a one-touch electronic upload to your vendor? Apparently State Farm thinks it has the answer in PartsTrader. The short and sweet version of our orientation speech prior to being forced to interject the PartsTrader bidding process into our business was "We are going to help you, the customer, and State Farm have a better experience during the course of the collision repair process with our new system of parts ordering". How innocent sounding.
After dealing with insurance companies for decades I don't think I have ever had such a sick feeling as at that moment.
Allegedly, State Farm is implementing this program because we as repairers are so incompetent at ordering parts that we need their help. This decision is obviously based on their vast and direct knowledge of ordering parts over the last 50 years, how to identify and cultivate strong relationships, knowing at all times what the best supply chains are, where to find alternative parts, who has the best service, who has the best quality, and the hundreds of other methodologies we have developed and integrated into our repair process to run efficient businesses, for our mutual customers.

Vastavam web: Top US and Mexican officials have sought common ground on issues such as migration and drug trafficking, even as President Donald Trump combatively repeated his vow to make Mexico pay for his planned border wall.US Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly struck a conciliatory tone as he wrapped up a three-day trip to Mexico yesterday."I cannot stress enough how valuable the US-Mexico relationship is to each of our nations," he said.Kelly's comments came hours after Trump again touched a raw nerve in Mexico with his latest remark on the border wall.
Asked at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, if he still wanted Mexico to pay for the wall, Trump said: "Absolutely." He made the comment as he headed into his first official meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who in January cancelled a visit to Washington over Trump's insistence that Mexico pay for the wall.Mexican Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong also emphasized the countries' common ground after meeting with Kelly.
"We are exploring new forms of cooperation on issues such as fighting arms trafficking, fighting transnational organized crime" and the "dignified" repatriation of deported Mexican immigrants, he said. During his visit, Kelly also met with Mexican troops fighting the country's powerful drug cartels and took a surveillance flight over opium poppy fields in the restive state of Guerrero.

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are many drug and alcohol rehab centers possibilities open to folks living in the Rutledge region. It is very important recognize all the types of rehabilitation choices that exist in Rutledge, AB., so that you can select the ideal rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the right drug and alcohol treatment program in Rutledge is an essential factor in the treatment of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. The following data will assist you to recognize your numerous rehabilitation possibilities so that you have the greatest probability of an effective final result.
Let's examine the various drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Rutledge, Alabama options that coincide with the circumstances of the individual seeking rehab.
Inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Rutledge, AB. is a rehabilitation choice ideal for many who require medical intervention throughout rehab or clients with considerable substance abuse histories. People will experience mental and physical dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short time period, so inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Rutledge is regarded as the best rehab possibility in virtually all cases. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will most likely not be able to recover with the minimal services provided by outpatient rehab centers in Rutledge, Alabama where drugs remain readily available when they depart the outpatient center. Likewise, individuals in rehabilitation who take part in outpatient rehabilitation as an alternative to inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Rutledge are still vulnerable to damaging influences and circumstances that might cut across their process of recovery. If a person resides with an abusive companion or maintains relationships which involve drug abuse, any rehabilitation endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient drug and alcohol treatment in Rutledge, AB. will most certainly produce more fruitful outcomes which will prove long lasting as opposed to an outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation program where benefits could be very minimal and short-lived.
In Rutledge there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Rutledge, Alabama is more extensive and rehabilitation lasts 90-120 days generally speaking. It is really an excellent setting for clients since it is a secure drug free setting where they're able to recover both physically and mentally without interruptions. Preferably, people proceed in a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment facility in Rutledge for the optimum time period allowed, to enable them to deal with anything that might cut across their abstinence once they leave rehabilitation. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can take a couple weeks alone, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Rutledge is going to be time wisely spent and significantly more effective than short-term programs.
The key component of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek advice from skilled addiction specialists and get an assessment and treatment options to ensure the biggest chance for a full recovery.

Far Rockaway dad violates Leandra's Law, driving drunk with his 4 sons, including infant, police say
A Far Rockaway dad violated Leandra's Law Monday when he was drunk while driving with his four sons as passengers, including one 2 weeks old, Suffolk County police said.
Miguel A. Quezada, 28, of Beach Channel Drive, is charged with four counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child under 15, four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, driving while intoxicated, and three traffic violations, police said.
Quezada was driving a 2005 Toyota Sienna on Burnside Avenue in Inwood at about 3:30 a.m. when Fourth Precinct officers pulled him over for a traffic stop, according to a news release.
Officers determined Quezada was driving drunk and he was arrested, police said.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday at First District Court in Hempstead.
Police said the children's mother, 26, also was a passenger in the vehicle.
She and the children were driven to their home by Fourth Precinct officers, police said. There were no injuries.
Under Leandra's Law, passed in 2009, drivers who are intoxicated or impaired by drugs with a child younger than 16 in the vehicle can be charged with a felony.
The law was passed after the death of Leandra Rosado, 11, who was killed Oct. 11, 2009, in a DWI accident after the minivan in which she was a passenger crashed on West Side Highway in Manhattan.

Nissan and Lucasfilm Join Forces Again for 'Star Wars'
When we saw the press release from Nissan about its upcoming partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm for the new Star Wars film about Han Solo, a tried-and-true statement came to our mind: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
In a move that surprises absolutely no one that has been paying attention, Lucasfilm has announced its teammates for the upcoming promotion of Solo: A Star Wars Story scheduled to be released on May 25th. Besides Nissan, Denny's, Esurance, General Mills, SOLO Cup, and Symantec will be working with the entertainment giant to get the word out about this spin-off film. Only Nissan and General Mills have been with the Star Wars franchise since these types of partnerships were announced starting with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It's also notable that the marketing department at Disney and Lucasfilm seems to be all about word play. Nissan was originally the perfect fit for the Rogue One film because it had an existing SUV called the Rogue, and now a film about Han Solo is working with SOLO cups.
"Our six promotional partners for Solo: A Star Wars Story have done a fantastic job developing first-class, innovative campaigns in support of the film," says Lylle Breier, Sr. Vice President, Global Marketing Partnerships, Walt Disney Studios. "We are excited to share the compelling experiences and relevant activations that our partners have created for our fans."
Nothing concrete has been announces about the partnership in terms of what it will bring from Nissan, but if it's anything like the movies that have come before we're sure we have a pretty good idea. There will probably be a Nissan show vehicle modified to look like the Millennium Falcon, and commercials and online content will equate Nissan Intelligent Mobility system with the futuristic tech of the Star Wars universe. We would be willing to bet actual money that there will be at least one Nissan vehicle on the red carpet at the premiere. If we're really lucky, there might even be a special edition Nissan vehicle on sale to the public.
We don't want to seem bitter about the partnership, but this is the third time that Nissan and Lucasfilm have worked together to promote a film. Considering that the first and second time were very similar, we're fairly confident that we know exactly how this will go. Of course, we won't know anything for sure until we get closer to the movie's release date in May and until then we will be on the edge of our seats.

I have been running across many class guides as of late that contain solid information on the 5.0.4 class changes. I personally have had no real time to put together any sort of guide myself, so here, have some links! Yes, I am including links for all three shaman specs as I have been playing with all three as of late, and I will be including feral/guardian guides as well since they pertain to my interests with my druid, who is my favorite and most used alt. This post is just as much for me as it is for you!
Be warned, some of the info found in some of these guides may potentially be out of date, thus making the information in them somewhat incorrect. Much of the information in these guides are subject to change as Blizz continues to balance the classes. As always, please check and double check on the information you read about! Cross-referencing information is the only way to be sure that you're getting the correct information.
Totemspot - This site is run by the wonderful Mr. Binkenstein. If you can't find solid shaman theorycrafting, look no further. While the site is heavily elemental-focused, it does have some very solid enhancement shaman working behind the scenes (namely Purge, who is a beast with the numbers), and tries overall not to neglect the other specs. Still trying to wrangle in a few more restos to the site ; )
Purge's Enhancement Primer for 5.0.4 - Found over on Totemspot. Purge has also done an excellent post on haste for enhancement shaman, which can be found here.
EJ's Enhancement Guide - For those of you who prefer walls of text and in-depth info ; )
Totem Talk: What to expect when you're enhancing - A great little blog post by the one and only Elam over on WowInsider.
Binkenstein's Elemental Primer for 5.0.4 - This article is found over on Totemspot. I highly recommend digging around on there for all of Binks' ele-related posts.
5.0.4 Elemental Changes - This article is found on the blog called Elemental Entropy. Looks like there's a good chunk of info in there, so definitely give it a look see!
Totem Talk: Surviving playing elemental in 5.0.4 - Another great blog post by Elam over on WowInsider.
Life in Group 5's 5.0 Guide - An excellent over view of the changes between the recent patches. If you're a resto shaman who doesn't follow that blog yet, I definitely recommend doing so!
EJ's Resto Guide - A very in depth look at restoration. Great stuff within!
Healiocentric's Resto Guide - A new blogger on the block, but definitely has some good in depth break downs of the new heal information. Also be sure to dig around on that blog for healing information on other classes as well.
Totem Talk: Surviving patch 5.04 as a restoration shaman - A blog post by Mr. Lodur over on WowInsider; a definite must-read.
Resto Shaman 5.0 Guide - A very nicely put together resto guide over at Spiritwalker's Grace.
The Fluid Druid - Your one stop shop for all of your druid needs. Alaron has been the cat to go to for quite some time as far as feral is concerned, but the man has been busy with dabbling in the other three specs as well. If you're into monks, you should check out his other project called World of Monkcraft.
Alaron's 5.0 Feral DPS Guide - This was Alaron's post on the official forums. Good stuff there!
Guardian Patch 5.0.4 Survival Guide - This is the ever so excellent guide that can be found over at the Inconspicuous Bear. Extremely in depth, incredibly well done. The Inc Bear mostly covers the tanking aspect for druids, but also do some cat stuff! Definitely check out their forums when you get a chance.
Edit: I've been continually tweaking this list. I have removed some guides from the line-up due to inaccurate information, while others have been added as I trust them to be trust worthy sources.

Mummy's one of those people who make consistently terrible decisions and expect God to fix everything, huh. Why am I not surprised.
If Selah decides against children when she's an adult, I'd wholeheartedly understand. She's done more child-rearing than a child ought to be saddled with.

They make me sick. Already Selah more mature then her parents. Those two dimwits have the intellect of a tic. Christopher Sr. and sad Barb choose not to use protection and now they are turning on each other. Getting drunk and making your eldest a dam nanny is pathetic.
Sad Barb really irks me. Every time I picture Selah traipsing across county with her siblings... I just want to beat the ish out of Barb. She want's even woman enough to drop the kids at her parents. I just pray nothing happen to them on their way to their grand parents and that their willing to take them in. Selah and her sibs should not have to pay for the mistakes of her parents.
Date: August 04 2016 01:27 am
Yay! An update! Okay, maybe I'm being judgmental but why have so many kids if you don't have enough to feed one properly? I mean kids are more expensive than contraceptions.

I was always taught, If a person shows you who they really are believe them. I truly believe Christopher Sr. told Barbara that he didn't want any more children and she just didn't listen, but it is not the baby's fault, he didn't asked to come into this world. It was the parents choices that brought him to be. That's why I think every woman should be self-sufficient, educated and love herself. I mean it's very nice to have a good man at home that takes good care of you, the children and the household. But always have this thought in back of your mind that If he was to leave you could you do it all on your own. That why I think a two income family is a very good thing.
