The following drag-and-drop tests fail under the Qt build:
Note these same tests fail in the GTK build as well, see bug #30576.
I am interested in doing some research on this issue.
http/tests/misc/drag-over-iframe-invalid-source-crash.html now fails as well (times out)
A proper fix for this is being looked into.
Seems to me that the timeout in DnD tests is due to a deadlock. QDrag->start() is a synchronous call. It creates a new event loop and will return only after the mouse is released. We are blocked from continue executing the JavaScript, so the MouseUp event is never received.

With this patch, and enabling the new flag TEST_DRAG_AND_DROP in EventSenderQt.cpp, these 4 tests are passing:
Also, drag-and-drop works much more reliably in QtLauncher. (You cannot initiate a drag from QGVLauncher, only drop).
The problem is that QDrag depends on the system cursor to really move, and I did not think we want running DRT to have a side effect of moving the system cursor.
Qt experts, I would love to hear your thoughts about the QDrag problem.

I forgot to mention in comment #4 that in order for QDrag to work, the view also needs to be visible. This is reflected in the updated patch.

although I believe the abreviation in "::sendOrQueEvent" is intentional and not a typo, it'd be better to be avoided, so sendOrQueEvent -> sendOrQueueEvent
After fixing 33055 (DnD behavior in QtWebKit) and 33114 (DRT's leapForward implementation) I am not sure how to proceed. If we set QWebView in DRT to be visible, and we really move the system cursor with the mouse move events, DnD layout tests pass. But of course we do not want to make these changes.
Hi Yael,
I've been looking at this and I agree that drag and drop can't work in the layout tests without displaying the mainview. However I don't think it is failing because it has to move the system cursor.
First of all, I believe EventSenderQt is not properly set up to interact with QDrag->exec() in trunk at the moment. I've made some small changes to it in the attached patch and I believe this allows the final mouseRelease() events to get through to QDrag. This can be tested with the fairly simple drag test fast/events/drag-parent-node.html.
The problem the patch fixes is that both the mouseMove() and the mouseRelease() event need to be posted before EventSenderQt's event loop is created. As it stands the event loop was getting created with the mouseMove() event with the result that the QDrag event loop could never receive the following MouseButtonRelease event.
With this patch I was able to put a breakpoint in qdnd_x11.cpp in Qt and watch the eventFilter() there catch the final MouseButtonRelease() event in the above test. So I know, even if my approach is wrongheaded in some other way, that at least DnD in Qt is now getting the events it should.
So the patch fixes tests that are interested in ondragstart and ondragend events but the real trick is getting Qt DnD in headless mode to send QtWebKit drop events. And this is where the problem is in my view.
When qdnd_x11.cpp catches the MouseButtonRelease event it always assumes the drag has been cancelled because 'willDrop' is always false. It is always false, because it can only be set to true in xdndHandleStatus() and that function is only called if QDragManager::move() detects the window under the cursor is XdndAware.
This can be hacked around up to a point, see the calls I've added in DragClientQt, but because such hacks would always have to guess (mostly incorrectly) the resulting drop action of the drag event even that won't solve enough tests to be a worthwhile workaround.
So to get this working properly in DRT we need to somehow fool QDragManager into treating the area under the cursor as always XdndAware and so let QDrag emit a drop event when the mouse button is released.
Does my analysis seem coherent to you?

Getting Mouse Release Events to QDrag
Hi Robert,
I know that moving the system cursor in EventSenderQt is not an OK solution. But, I also saw the problems you have described in QDragManager, and moving the cursor solved them for me.
I am not sure what others think about adding test code to WebKit, in order to pass tests. Personally, I would prefer to try and avoid that.

> Hi Robert,
> I know that moving the system cursor in EventSenderQt is not an OK solution. But, I also saw the problems you have described in QDragManager, and moving the cursor solved them for me.
I'm not disagreeing with that at all - I was just clarifying out loud that the reason it works is because QDragManager uses the QCursor position to find the window underneath it.
So as you said originally, the window needs to be displayed. I'm adding the reason for it and wanted to be sure that I was on the right track.
> I am not sure what others think about adding test code to WebKit, in order to pass tests. Personally, I would prefer to try and avoid that.
Absolutely. I think there is a simple reason that this problem is unsolvable (in full) unless we display the window during these tests: the Qt::DropAction returned by QDrag::exec() cannot be simulated no matter what we do, it derives from XEvents created by moving the system cursor across the display. Not all drag tests rely on a correct Qt::DropAction - we could always guess Qt::CopyAction for example - but to pass all of them we would definitely need to know for a fact what it actually is.
So we come back to your question: can we display the window during these tests?
If the answer is no, then we will always have to skip some of these. However, we could just send generic drop and drag events to QWebView from EventSenderQt and this would allow us to pass a subset of the tests. Which is a bit rubbish but seems to be the only available alternative.
In the past other ports have had to use real events, or show windows in order to pass tests. Then later on folks came along with a eureka moment and found other ways to implement the same. I'm not sure if the same will heppen for Qt, but it sounds like a partial solution (whichever you choose), even one which can only be run on the bots (because it does things like move the real cursor) seems useful.

Send both dragEnter and dragMove on the first dragging move. Helps pass 5 more tests.

This looks like a good fit for OwnPtr or QScopedPointer, which would also avoid leaking m_dragData when the DragClient is destroyed.

Placing the invalidateWritableData() call right under the assignment and leave an empty line would improve readability.
> Source/WebKit/qt/WebCoreSupport/DragClientQt.cpp:144
> + if (m_dragData)

Isn't this the same as "return m_dragData;"?
> Source/WebKit/qt/WebCoreSupport/DragClientQt.cpp:151
> + if (m_dragData)
> + return m_dropActions;
> + return Qt::IgnoreAction;
If you set m_dropActions(Qt::IgnoreAction) in the constructor, this would also be equivalent to simply doing "return m_dropAction;". It could also be inlined in the header.
> Tools/DumpRenderTree/qt/EventSenderQt.cpp:650
> +void EventSender::sendEventInOrder(QEvent* event)
What is defining what have to be sent directly with sendEvent or must go through sendEventInOrder?
> Tools/DumpRenderTree/qt/EventSenderQt.cpp:653
> + QTest::qWait(m_delay);
Humm, I don't like using QTest outside of tests, but it seems like it did work like that for a while.
> Tools/DumpRenderTree/qt/EventSenderQt.h:130
> + int m_delay;
Since you brought it in a wider scope, it would be nice to define its purpose with a sharper name. Something like m_sendEventDelay, m_nextEventDelay, m_dragEventDelay or m_eventLeapForwardDelay would make it more obvious.

Also, since you're not posting events anymore, you could pass all events on the stack to sendEventInOrder and avoid the confusion already in the code on whether or not the QEvent is getting owned by sendEventInOrder vs. sendEvent.

Live Music
© Kevin Noel Adderley 2013
A brief introduction from British guitarist/vocalist Kevin Noel:
Now living in Switzerland, I have been a professional musician since the age of 22, specialising in providing live music for a wide range of events. I offer a choice of musical formations from solo to 5-piece band and the music I play is a mixture of blues, classic rock, rock & roll, country, folk and light jazz.
I sing only in English, covering songs from English & American artists as well as composing & performing my own songs. Among my favourite artists are Eric Clapton, John Fogerty, Steve Earle & John Hiatt.
I play acoustic and electric guitars and am an accomplished slide guitar player. I have produced 3 CDs which are available at gigs and in some shops.
Besides playing music I also teach guitar and trade in antiques. (www.knantik.com) Please read on to find out more about me, my music and my colleagues. Thanks for your interest.
Kevin Noel.
Guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, producer
The duo 'Kevin & Aschi' with Aschi Beyeler (saxophones, harmonicas) is now the main formation I work with. We met many years ago when Aschi first played with me in 'The Fun Band'. We share a similar taste in music and the unusual combination of guitar/vocal and sax/harp is complimented by electronic drums & bass specially programmed by me producing a sound emulating that of a full band. As a duo we are very flexible and experienced in playing all kinds of events from concerts in bars & clubs to private parties & corporate functions. We carry a good quality compact sound system and basic lighting.
We have played for many events including BEA expo Bern, MUBA Basel, ORBIT Basel, Beaulieau Lausanne, Forum Fribourg, Ferienmesse & Weinmesse Bern, Swiss Hockey awards & Swiss Curling Championships. In 2005 we were privileged to be asked by the late Polo Hofer to play for his 60th birthday party and subsequently were part of the inaugural 'Swiss Rock & Blues Cruise'. Outside of Switzerland we have performed in Spain, France, Italy & Germany and in Kosovo for the KFOR peacekeeping force August 1st 2012 Swiss national day celebration.

The Metrics Module that allows Manufacturing Management a tool to drill down into data and find ways to improve their manufacturing floor's production process. Using Microsoft's Reporting Services functionality, these KPI (Key Performance Indicators) Analysis Reports go beyond the standard set of OEE measurements of Availability, Performance and Quality.
This Modules goes well beyond the simple Analysis of Up and Down time on a machine which is just not enough to identify the root cause factory floor problems. Although displayed in real-time these dash board too often fall short of data elements that can help focus on the reasons for problems not just keeping track of the measure in a score board view. Using Microsoft's SQL Reporting Services is a great way to show the underlying data captured by FACTIVITY Shop Floor Workbench.
The Module has groups of reports that include OEE Analysis, Labor Analysis, Job Analysis as well as a facility to evaluate Alarms capture in the Shop Floor Workbench:
Using the power of the drill down in this pervasive and easy to use Reporting Tool, FACTIVITY could help manufactures focus in on the root cause of problems captured in real-time. For example, to complement the evaluation of OEE are the detail analysis of each of the components of OEE…Availability (Down Time), Quality (Scrap) and Performance. Each of these "views" are user configurable by several sort criteria built into the report. Sorting scrap, for example, by type of scrap, identification of the resource with the most/least scrap, the employee involved and all queries can be selected by user defined date ranges.
These Metrics can be a great asset to management involved with Lean Manufacturing a well as an invaluable tool for Value Steam Mapping of a factory floor.

Supergroups file
Note: In DoSPT versions before v0.2.1 there is a bug which affects the syntax of the supergroups file. Please update to the latest version to ensure you can use the syntax as detailed below.
supergroups file contains information on which groups belong to the same thermodynamic component. For instance, in a water+methanol mixture all the water molecules belong to the same supergroup and all the methanol molecules belong to a different supergroup. All the groups within the same supergroup should therefore be identical, i.e., contain the same number and type of atoms, the same symmetry number, equilibrium geometry, etc.
DoSPT will combine the DoS of all the groups which belong to the same supergroup to compute diffusivity, fluidicity and thermodynamic properties.
In the
supergroups file all the groups which belong to one supergroup are listed on one line. The syntax allows individual addition with a comma
, and fast inclusion for consecutive groups with a dash
For example, if groups 1, 4, 10, and 13 to 20 (inclusive) belong to supergroup 1, and the rest (of a total of 20) belong to supergroup 2, the (simplest) corresponding
supergroups file is constructed as follows:
1,4,10,13-20 2,3,5-9,11,12

I've been receiving several award booking requests lately to popular places such as western Europe and Australia. Many times they want to travel in the summer, leave in 2-3 months, and fly business or first class. I hate to disappoint, but Europe in the summer a few months out and Australia in the summer in business class are extremely tough. People with tight schedules and specific needs may constantly be disappointed with airline miles. I have heard people say that airline miles are a scam because they can never redeem their miles. Times are changing and award availability has gotten tougher, more costly, and quite unpredictable. Therefore, if you are a beginner or expert its important to know these top 5 essential tips in redeeming airline miles.
Tip #1: Book Far in Advance
Many airlines release some of their award tickets at about 330 days in advance. This is the best time to book a trip because you have several dates to choose from. I know that many people can't book this far in advance, so book as soon as you can confirm your dates. It is crucial to book far in advance if you are traveling during peak seasons such as June-August and Christmas time. I've booked tickets to Asia during Xmas time about 330 days in advance and trips to Europe at about 9 months prior.
Tip #2: Diversify your Miles
I would have to say that collecting American Airline miles, United miles, and points that can transfer to each program is a great general strategy as I've talked about here. The reason why these two mileage programs are great is because you can book one way using AA miles and one way using United miles or vice versa. For example, you can find LAX-LHR using United miles, but not AA miles. However you find LAX to Dusseldorf on Airberlin and DUS-LAX. Therefore, you can book LAX-LHR using United miles and DUS-LAX using AA miles. If you don't have enough United miles, transfer points from Chase Ultimate Rewards. If you don't have enough AA miles, transfer points from AMEX Starwood Preferred Guest.
Tip #3: Be Flexible with your Destination
Say you want to go to Europe in October, but can't find award tickets that work. Consider going to Asia or South America or somewhere domestically. When I really want to go somewhere, I also consider another destination as a backup. I keep in mind the weather during the month and I use a website such as this honeymoon by weather site to find a good place to go. So instead of Spain, I might choose Bali instead as a backup (realistically I can't even travel in October because my wife is a school teacher).
Tip #4: Be Willing to Travel Economy Class
I would much rather fly a nonstop economy flight rather than a connecting business or first class flight. I mostly travel for the destination, but it's a huge plus if I can get business or first class when I book far in advance. We recently flew from French Polynesia to Los Angeles in Economy for about 8 hours and I also took a 11 hour flight from HKG-LAX in economy and it was not too bad if you plan to sleep during the flight. I like to take red eye flights when taking economy class internationally and try to go in the flight already sleepy. Also, sometimes paying for an economy class flight such as an interisland Hawaii flight or Easyjet around Europe may be more cost efficient than using miles. You can always get the Barclaycard Arrival card to pay for those travel costs when not using miles.
Tip #5: Be Willing to Take Positioning or Connecting Flights
A direct flight is not always available to where you want to go. If you are traveling to Europe, consider using Avios or Southwest points to position yourself in a city with better award availability. West coast to Europe is quite tough, so flying to Houston, Denver, Chicago, or Dallas first and then to Europe can be a lot easier to fly your dream business or first class flight.
I know that many of you already know these tips, but it's good to keep in mind these basic essential tips in redeeming airline miles. I am quite efficient in booking far in advance because I know when my wife will have school break and my work is quite flexible. I'll have to admit that I'm quite stubborn when it comes to tip #5 because I don't like connecting and usually want to direct flight out of LAX. Taking economy is not the end of the world nor is connecting on a business class flight. We are just blessed to be able to use airline miles and hotel points to travel around the world!

Lil Tay, the vulgar nine-year-old Canadian social media star who's been filmed doing everything from kicking a Rolls-Royce to literally throwing money with Jake Paul, has vanished from the internet. All of her Instagram posts are gone, and her YouTube channel has been totally scrubbed. Nearly every social media account associated with Lil Tay — including various management and the accounts responsible for leaking videos that revealed she was being coached — has been made private or deleted altogether.
Lil Tay's disappearance follows several weeks of controversy for the preteen. In early May, it was confirmed that her mother, Angela Tian, had been fired from her job as a Vancouver real estate agent after Tay's videos appeared to be filmed in as-yet-unsold luxury homes. Two weeks ago, the YouTube news source #DramaAlert revealed that Tay had been coached through her many crass videos by her teen brother, Jason Tian.
Days later, Tay and her mother appeared on Good Morning America to explain their side of the story to the world. "I didn't shoot in anyone else's house," Tay told GMA's Juju Chang. "No one has proof that I did." A week later, a video surfaced on Worldstar of a young girl who looks like Tay smoking hookah. In a Twitter post from May 29th, Jason appears to confirm the video's veracity.
According to The Atlantic, Lil Tay and her family recently traded Canada for sunny Los Angeles, moving in with Josiah Jenkins, "a Los Angeles 'miracle worker' who has launched the careers of a slew of other young internet influencers." Jenkins, a former Vine star, founded the social media company Squad Social, which creates games based on viral content that are monetized through ads .
Jenkins' 643,000-follower Instagram account is now private. Vek, the account that sent the Lil' Tay hookah video to Worldstar, has also been made private on Instagram; as late as last week, their posts were public. Lil Clout, a SoundCloud rapper credited alongside Vek in the DramaAlert Instagram that featured Jason coaching Lil Tay through a video, has had his Instagram page removed. As of last week, his Instagram bio was "EXPOSING LILTAY AT 100K," presumably in reference to his follower count.
Jason's Instagram is also private, although he alluded to the reason for his sister's digital retreat on Twitter:
"A lot of people are going to say this or that," Jason said on the family's GMA appearance. "We just keep going."

That spare bed in your house can bring in extra revenue
This July, my best friend and I went to Vancouver for a few days to celebrate her birthday. Instead of staying in a hotel, we decided to try Airbnb, the "online marketplace" where people can list and book accommodations.
The price of our accommodations was less than that of a hotel and centrally located. The basement suite was immaculate and our hosts were wonderful. All in all? An experience I'd definitely repeat.
Airbnb is worldwide, with 300 accommodations in Edmonton alone. More than ever, travellers have choices; they can rent a whole house or a bedroom, and search for places that fit their budget. But Airbnb isn't only a good choice for travellers; it's also a popular option for people who want to rent out a room or a house.
Local residents, who preferred to remain anonymous, said they love being hosts. It didn't hurt that they had a great experience with their first guest, a writer who brought his "traipsemobile" (RV) to sleep in but used the home's bathroom and office.
"We thought we could make a few extra dollars," she said, explaining roommates sometimes end up being a nightmare. There's also the appeal of meeting new people and providing affordable housing. Of course some travellers check in and out without much interaction, but there are travellers with whom they form a strong bond and remain friends afterwards.
Airbnb is a fairly simple online system to use. After registering, travellers can search by arrival and departure dates, accommodation type (room, house, etc), and price range. After that, choose possible locations and contact the host for details and booking.
Hosts can list and manage their accommodation quite easily. The website takes hosts through a step-by-step process of listing a space. Although listing a place is free, Airbnb charges hosts 3 per cent for every reservation. Guests pay before they arrive, and Airbnb handles the transactions, transferring money to the host 24 hours after check-in. There are also perks, such as liability insurance for third-party claims and coverage from accidental damage. The website also advertises the listing, with an option called Smart Pricing adjusting prices depending on supply and demand.
"Posted prices aren't always set in stone," she said and explained interested guests can contact her for minor price adjustments. Another bonus for the host is the ability to block off days if he or she doesn't want people at the property.
Hosts can set up the listing to include a damage deposit in case anything is damaged during a guest's stay. It's also easy to track income and past reservations.
Airbnb has some security as well. When I was creating my profile so I could search for places in Vancouver, I had to provide a picture of myself, a video introducing myself, and a picture of my drivers license for identification. While this information seemed excessive at the time, I discovered it was to provide hosts with an extra layer of security.
The hosts have had good experiences with a few exceptions. One woman in her 20s or early 30s showed up with a "sketchy" man in his 50s.The guest hadn't informed them she would be bringing another guest. They did ask the woman to leave, but helped her cancel the reservation without being charged. Another couple cancelled their reservation as soon as they arrived—and took the key with them. They returned the next day with the key, and later explained they cancelled because they had mistakenly thought there was a shower.
"We've never had any items go missing," she said, explaining the damage deposit likely makes people think twice before damaging anything. So far, they haven't had to keep a damage deposit.
Of course, there's work involved in making sure the room or property is ready for new guests.
"The hardest part is getting a room ready when someone is checking out and someone else is checking in," she said. Part of preparing for new guests is providing clean sheets and ensuring the room or house is clean.
What is provided to guests depends on the host. Some hosts may provide a kitchen and laundry room, and guests can negotiate with hosts for pick up at the airport and act as a guide to providing information about the neighbourhood, nearest grocery stores, or other amenities.
They have also been guests, once staying in a 300 year-old building.
"We've had mostly good experiences." They did once sleep in a bed with dirty sheets. However, after going through dispute resolution and giving feedback, the host refunded them some money.
They have also used Airbnb's referral system to book accommodations. Just recently, they booked a place in Jasper for free using credit which people earn by referring friends to use Airbnb for travel or when a friend lists accommodations.
For these hosts, Airbnb works.
"We've made some lifelong friends through Airbnb," she said.

...His subjects range from girls with iPhones to wild turkeys under the bird feeders on a morning in Maine. He can be nostalgic--musing on exotic places he's lived "when [he] was a nomad,"--or philosophic, concluding that "our destination is/inside us, the marrow, where we began." No matter the topic, he always gives his reader something interesting to consider and since he has been practicing the art of letting go, he won't mind if you take these poems out into the world and read them to your friends.

New Chevrolet Tahoe
for Sale in Philadelphia, PA
Redesigned for the 2021 model year, the Chevy Tahoe continues to be a top-level choice in the full-size SUV category for many Langhorne, PA drivers. It is perfect for those who need lots of interior space, a powerful engine for top-shelf acceleration ability, and a decent list of tech and safety features.
The base engine-a 5.3-liter V8 engine with 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque-delivers gobs of power to pull a vehicle as large as the 2021 Chevy Tahoe along. You can, however, upgrade to the top-level High Country for even more engine power courtesy of a larger, 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Each engine is strapped to a 10-speed automatic transmission for a smooth-shifting experience.
Rear-wheel drive is standard to send engine power to the rear with the V8 in front for a balanced front-to-rear weight distribution. For better performance on rough, bumpy, or slippery terrain, however, go for the optional four-wheel-drive system, which is standard on the performance-optimized Z71. When properly equipped, the Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds.
Interior & Exterior
Riding on 18-inch aluminum wheels, the 2021 Tahoe makes it easy to get in and get out thanks to black-finished assist steps. LED headlights and taillights provide bright and long-lasting illumination, upper active aero shutters help keep the engine compartment at an ideal operating temperature, and heated power side mirrors flank the front doors. At the LT trim level, the liftgate has hands-free power, and the RST gains roof-mounted side rails. The performance-oriented Z71 gets larger, 20-inch aluminum wheels, which are replaced by 22-inch ones at the High Country level.
A three-row vehicle, the Tahoe nevertheless varies by maximum occupancy depending on trim level. The LS is the only one that offers a nine-seating capacity, with other trims providing choices between seven- and eight-seating configurations. Cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat, and an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat are standard.
Front-seat heating, leather upholstery, 12-way power adjustability on the front seats, and driver-seat memory appear at the LT trim level. The Premier gains an automatic heated steering wheel, second-row heating, front-seat ventilation, and perforated leather upholstery. Only the High Country has a power-release ability on the second-row seats to make it easier to get to the third row.
Standard Equipment
At the base level, the 2021 Tahoe relies on the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus multimedia system for infotainment. This system combines a six-speaker AM/FM stereo system, HD Radio, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, voice-activated technology, a total of six USB ports, an SD card reader, and a 10.2-inch touchscreen.
A 4.2-inch screen displays vital driver information, and the tri-zone automatic climate control system consists of controls for the driver, front passenger, and rear-seat passengers. Proximity keyless entry with push-button engine start enables access with a key fob and starting the car without an ignition key. You can even start the vehicle before you get to it whever you are in Camden, NJ, thanks to the remote start feature.
A nine-speaker Bose stereo system (instead of the six-speaker setup), a garage-door opener, and wireless phone charging appear at the LT trim level. The Premier and High Country gains an 8-inch driver information display (in place of the 4.2-inch), a navigation system, and auto-dimming ability on the rearview mirror
For driver assistance, the 2021 Chevy Tahoe combines a forward distance indicator, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert with pedestrian braking, an HD rearview camera with rear parking sensors, and cruise control.
Front parking sensors join the rear parking ones at the Premier level to make the rearview camera more effective. The High County represents the Tahoe's driver-assist peak: with an HD surround-vision camera (in place of the rearview one), a rear camera mirror, lane change alert with side blind zone alert, lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, and a 15-inch head-up display to reduce on-the-road distractions.
Available Trim Configurations
Available Trim Configurations
The 2021 Chevy Tahoe is available in six trim levels: LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country that are sure to suit your Cherry Hill, NJ lifestyle.

Internship Position
Position: Internship
Time Commitment: Full-time (35 hours/week), Monday to Friday
Duration: 4 month (May through August) OR 6 month (May through October)
Remuneration: Volunteer (Includes honorarium of $1000/month)
Application: Please send a copy of your resume and a cover letter to Vanessa, Adam, and Rachael at: email@example.com
What should I expect?
Interns work alongside staff and volunteer gardeners to grow vegetables, flowers, and fruits using a small-plot farming model on about 1.5 acres of land. Interns join a community of gardeners to learn community-based market gardening skills and contribute to our shared work.
What will I learn?
Everyone brings different hopes and contributions to an internship role. All gardeners, whether staff, interns, or volunteers, are a part of the team. Each day is filled with opportunities for "on-the-job" and self-initiated learning, which is supplemented by guided learning and field trips to other farms. Gardeners support one-another as we pursue our individual learning objectives and explore particular interests that ebb-and-flow with the seasons.
This is an opportunity to be immersed in planting and nurturing crops as we explore what it means to farm sustainably in community. The garden uses organic practices (not certified), though we tend to refer to our methods as "ecological farming" or "regenerative agriculture". There is lots to explore! Soil-building; cover cropping, crop rotations, and composting; irrigation and efficient water use; pests and insects; seeds, seeding, and transplanting; fruit and perennial crops; and a whole lot more!
Interns will also be involved in harvesting, preparing, and distributing vegetables, fruits, and flowers through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share program, which feeds over 160 member households each week during the summer. There are also opportunities to develop transferable leadership, entrepreneurial, and organizational skills associated with active participation in a lively and diverse community-enterprise. Interns commonly work alongside other volunteers, hosting them in the garden and directing their work as appropriate.
Is this for me?
The details of each internship are shaped by the interests and needs of each intern, as well as the needs of the project, through an ongoing process of conversation and relationship. We work to overcome barriers to involvement and aim to be flexible and open to each interns' unique circumstances to the extent that we are able.
We understand that access to ecological farm work is not equitable and we are looking to build a diverse team! If you identify as BIPOC or face other accessibility barriers to traditional farming opportunities, we highly encourage you to apply.
Experience: All you need is an interest in gardening and growing food! Previous experience is not required. We are hoping to meet anyone who is excited to join the garden community for a season and learning market gardening skills in a unique community project! For those seeking a career in farming, 6 month internships are recommended.
Time Commitment: Interns join the garden full-time for a 4 month or 6 month period. Generally, the garden operates Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, with a 1-hour lunch break.
Remuneration: The internship is not paid, but we are able to offer an honorarium of $1000/month in recognition of each interns diverse contributions to the garden and in appreciation of their passion for growing. We recognize that this poses a barrier to many applicants who may otherwise be well-suited to this internship program. If this describes you, you may be interested in volunteering at the garden as another way to join in the work, but without such a significant time commitment.
How do I apply?
The application process is intended to be accessible and conversational. To start, please send a copy of your resume and a cover letter to Vanessa, Adam, and Rachael at: email@example.com
For your cover letter, we are particularly interested to hear a little about you. For example: What excites you about this opportunity? What do you hope to contribute? What do you hope to get out of it? How can we support you?
We will host video conversations with applicants in early-April. Internships are slated to begin Monday, May 3rd.
We are adaptable and friendly folks who are excited to meet you! Please let us know if you have any questions, or if you are having trouble putting together a resume and cover letter.

- Would it even be better to associate the started task proc with the BYPASS acid in the STC record?
- Is There much documentation about *BYPASS* except that it is also associated with started tasks that come up before Top Secret?
- For the address spaces that you want to put in BYPASS, you do not have to do anything because BYPASS bypasses security. Since BYPASS is not an actual acid, you can not add a UID or other attributes to it.
- For the address spaces that you are not going to put in BYPASS because they need UID(0) or other attribites, the acids associated with these started tasks should have an OMVS segment with UID(0) and the bypass attributes (NODSNCHK, NOVOLCHK, NORESCHK, NOSUBCHK and NOLCFCHK) to be TRUSTED.
- Remember we recommend that all started task (STC) acids be given a password and OPTIONS(4) be set in the TSS parameter file. OPTIONS(4) will eliminate the prompt for a password when the STC starts. If someone tries to signon with the STC acid, he will need to know the password.
- The STC could be recycled (restarted), but it should be signed on by TSS on the first security check occurring in the address space.
- If you want to have more information about STC management with CA Top Secret go to link:

The increased volatility in most markets has been great. While the character of each market has stayed the same, the change in volatility has needed subtle changes in stops and targets.
Intraday rumours seem to be having a bigger effect than usual. I guess that with all the things wrong and the changes that need to take place as this transition continues, people try and grab at anything to try and anticipate what's to come or to make sense out of what's happening.
My job as an independent trader is to keep reading what "they" are doing at any one moment and trade the order flow in their footsteps. No second guessing what they WILL do, just reacting to the NOW, the present tense.
The process of back testing should be a structured one. Looking for a drop dead stop over a large sample of data is an important part of it. I also look for the right drop dead stop for small sections of data, divided into different volatilities. I use the same basic methodology. What changes is when I exit and that depends a lot on the volatility. It also depends on whether or when I double down.
Using a simple algo does this job well. You don't need to be a programmer to do this with the tools we have available today. Most charting packages have some form of back testing using some pseudo language. Putting some form of structure around trading, even discretionary trading, is critical to getting to CP. I see it every day with students. One of the exercises I do with some students who need it is to ask them to score their compliance with their TP on a daily basis.
We all go off piste at times and it usually costs us. Keeping to a back tested and proven TP is the road to CP so being reminded of this every day by marking every trade for compliance, is a good way of keeping discipline and putting focus on the TP. Of course it's all a lot easier if you use the algo to enter the trade.

[Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]
「Whew……well then, I've eaten my meal and even taken a break. Now then, I should examine the other door.」
Vel stood up and brushed of the pie crumbs that had stuck to his clothes with his hands.
Rei, who had already finished his lunch nearby, stood up like Vel.
Set, who had been keeping watch by himself, got up from lying on the floor.
Though Rei and Elena basically left it to Set, they still recognised that is was possible for the enemy to make a surprise attack. After all, in this floor of undead, his sense of smell had been sealed by the odour. Because of that, while Elena and Rei were talking during their break after the meal, they were still somewhat wary……fortunately, they were able to finish their lunch without any enemies attacking.
「That said……as a door facing a door which had nothing inside, I shouldn't have my hopes up for finding anything inside.」
Vel muttered while examining the door for traps. But……
「Hou~? No, correction. Maybe there is something here.」
Vel's surprised voice echoed into the surroundings.
「What is it, did something happen?」
「Yes. I can confirm that it's something different to the room on the right that I checked first. Unless it was so, it would be strange for a trap to be placed here.」
Vel answered Elena's question while examining part of the handle.
His tone was light as usual, but as expected of a guard of Elena, the General Princesses, he he followed procedures while investigating the handle with some instruments.
「Okay……because this is a dummy……good. Trap disarmed! Well, maybe we can expect quite a bit from this room. Any how, if you opened the door carelessly, it would fire a specially made bow that was linked to the door. I think there is something that is being protected inside.」
「……As was the first room, I hope it's not a dummy hiding a bigger trap.」
Vel returned a wry smile at Kuust's mutters.
「I won't make the same mistake twice. I also quickly checked the area around these rooms just in case. No traps in particular have been placed around here.」
「I hope so.」
As usual, Kuust kept his hand on his magic spear to guard against enemy surprise attacks.
Elena nodded while glancing to the side at Kuust. As Vel opened the door, he shifted his body away from the front of the room just in case.
And nothing in particular happened when he opened the door……
「See. Didn't I tell you the trap was successfully disarmed?」
Certainly, as Vel had said, arrows didn't fly when he opened the door, nor did any other trap activate.
「Then you should have opened it majestically instead of hidden along the wall like that.」
「Hey hey, no matter what, I can't perfectly disarm all traps. It would be seriously bad if there was some kind of trap I didn't notice.」
「Sure, sure. So, what's inside the room?」
Vel looked inside as Ara asked.
「It looks like a hit. It seems to be some kind of laboratory.」
「……Laboratory? In a dungeon floor like this?」
「Ah, perhaps it's the work of the fellow who's been targeting us after we entered this floor. I don't know if it's a Lich as we were talking about before.」
Elena, who heard the conversation between the two, nodded in understanding and turned to look at Rei.
「Rei, search the inside with Vel. There's a possibility a map of the floor is inside. If there's something related to magic, you will probably be the most knowledgeable on it.」
「I don't mind……」
Rei turned his eyes to Vel. Seeing that look, Vel guessed what Rei wanted to say and nodded.
「Ah, thinking normally, it's strange that there's a laboratory in the dungeon. In the first place, anyone can find the door here. We are not the only ones that enter the dungeon. At the very least, the adventurers we met on the third floor said that there were undead on the fifth floor, so they would have made it here. It wouldn't be strange, after all, there were even adventurers who found what they think to be an Altar of Inheritance on the seventh floor. Other than finding this, there's no reason for it to be located in such an overly suspicious place.」
『That's because it's in a place in the reverse side of the dungeon space.』
The moment Vel spoke that question, everyone there heard a voice.
(……No, did we hear that in our heads rather than hearing a voice? Is it like some sort of telepathy?)
The moment the voice rang in his head, Rei quickly readied the Death Scythe. Next to him, Elena pulled out her sword whip and held it, ready for an attack from any direction. Vel, Kuust and Ara were the same.
『Indeed, I've only left this place unattended for a little while and thieves have already come. It's impossible to experiment in peace.』
TLN: The voice refers to itself like an old man.
While the voice echoed in his head, the existence that the voice came from couldn't be seen anywhere.
Rei quickly looked around but couldn't find the owner of the voice.
「……Come out.」
Although Elena's voice echoed around, no one, or anything in particular came out.
『Hahaha. I would obviously be attacked if I came out, do you think I would do that?』
「If you don't come out, don't you know what would happen to your laboratory? Isn't it something important?」
Although Elena pointed the tip of her sword whip at the laboratory, the voice continued speaking as if with a smile.
『There certainly are important thing inside, but think about it carefully. Do you think that something really important would be placed inside a dangerous location like the dungeon? I admit that there are certainly things inside the laboratory that are worth something to me. However, most of the things inside are mainly for convenience, it's not difficult to replace them.』
Listening to the voice, Elena thought of something. Kuust, who was watching the situation,
「Whether or not that is true can be verified. Any how, anyone who lurks in a dungeon can't be decent.」
「Wait, Kuust.」
Elena stopped Kuust who was readying his magic spear.
「Elena-sama, why!」
「I told you to wait.」
「……I understand.」
Although reluctant, Kuust withdrew his spear. After seeing that, Elena spoke the the figureless voice again.
「1……no, two questions. Can you give me an answer to them?」
『Hmm, is that so. Well, although you are thieves, I haven't had guests in a long time. It would be nice to amuse myself. I shall answer them if I can.』
Rei looked at the surroundings while listening to those words and noticed that Set didn't show any signs of movement after the voice had been heard. Normally, Set's curiosity would be very strong.
While confirming Set's figure, Rei saw that Set had pushed himself against the wall, trembling like a small fawn in front of a carnivore.
Certainly, Set had only been born for a few months……it had only been three months since he had been born, let alone a year. Still, he was born as a Griffon, a rank A monster. Currently, Set was equipped with a large number of skills and and strong magic items. He had the power to fight evenly with the rank A party Axe of the Thunder God. Despite all that, Rei was shocked to find that Set was scared.
(In that case, the owner of this voice is at least stronger than Set. ……We should definitely avoid making an enemy out of it……)
He turned to look at Elena, who was the leader of the party. Elena also happened to turn to look at Rei and their gazes overlapped. In that moment alone, Rei understood that Elena was also thinking about how to avoid fighting the owner of the voice. That was because Elena had also seen Set trembling for a moment.
Elena understood that Rei was also aware of Set's situation and gave a small nod as she spoke up.
「Firstly, we were targeted by undead monsters persistently after being caught in the infinite loop. You ordered them to do that, no doubt?」
『Hmm, I can be said so, it can also be said to be different. Those fellows were ordered to remove any people who trespassed. That's why.』
「That is to say, you don't intend to fight us?」
『Alright, what should I do. As far as I can see, I don't think that warrior kid from earlier would believe me even if I said I wasn't hostile. If that's the case, I think the correct option would be to be hostile.』
「……That was rude of us. However, even if you say you want to be hostile, I don't want to fight against you. Our aim is to head for the Altar of Inheritance on the lowest floor. We don't intend to capture the dungeon.」
『Hou~. The Altar of Inheritance, a nostalgic name has come up. Do you know what it means?』
「That's a matter of course. That's why we've bothered to enter the dungeon.」
Rei looked around again while listening to the conversation between Elena and the voice.
Kuust looked around for the owner of the voice with sharp eyes. Ara just patiently waited for Elena's conversation to finish. And after turning to look at the frightened Set, Vel understood how powerful the owner of the voice was. While waiting for the conversation to finish, Ara just looked towards Elena.
『Hmm, if that's the case, then I don't feel the need to be hostile. However, do you know why I'm talking directly in your head rather than showing myself to talk with you?』
「I understood that you have an actual self from the conversation. In regards to your intent, I haven't felt any hostility against us.」
『Young girl……what if I had just hidden my hositilty?』
「At that point, I could only say that my eye for people was not good enough.」
At Elena's reply, the voice in their heads suddenly laughed.
『Kukukukuku~. Hahahahaha. A person. I see, a person. No, it's been a long time since I've felt this happy. Fine, as a reward, I'll promise not to oppose you. So what's the second thing you wanted to ask?』
「No. The monsters in the dungeon are basically transferred here by the dungeon nucleus. At that time, I heard they undergo some sort of brainwashing. With those words, you won't oppose us. ……You're not a summoned monster are you?」
『Well, that is true. This dungeon has the right conditions for my research. I have made this space that could be called the reverse side of the dungeon space arbitrarily without permission.』
「……Is that so. Although I can't tell what kind of existence you are, I am grateful if you don't fight this kingdom.」
『No no, you're really a girl with guts. I haven't spoken to a person for a long time but I really enjoyed it. That's right, it's not much but as a gift, I'll send you done to the next floor.』
Elena pricked her ears up at the sound of those words. Indeed, they had no map of the dungeon. Moreover, they were unwilling to explore the area where undead that never tired wandered around.
(If what the owner of this voice is saying is true, then we got lost in this back space after breaking out of the infinite loop.)
Since the small room where they had entered the infinite loop was not very far after they had gone down to the fifth floor, if they were thrown out of here, they would have had to explore this floor from basically the beginning again.
「We would be very grateful……it's a bit late, but may we know your name?」
『I believe that was two questions, well, that's enough. There's no particular problems if I do this. It will be nearly impossible for other people to come in after I return you to your original space and twist the spatial entrance. And even if someone came here, as I said earlier, the tools here are not a necessity. Because the stairs going down were made in front of the laboratory, if you take them, you will get to the sixth floor soon.』
The voice echoed in their heads as usual. Then, Rei and Elena suddenly realised that a stairway that didn't exist in the vicinity a few minutes before could now be seen at the entrance to the laboratory.
「This is……」
『Didn't I say? It's a staircase down to the sixth floor. Oh, There's no need to worry about where you'll go. It's spatially connected to the normal exit of the sixth floor. You would be at the place you would normally arrive at after going down the stairs on this floor.』
「……I will say thank you. Then, we'll be taking our leave.」
『What, don't worry about it. Thank you for entertaining me for the first time in a while. Then, farewell.』
「Please wait! I would like you to tell you me your name if you don't mind. I am Elena Kerebel of Duke Kerebel's family of the Mireana Kingdom.」
『I'm sorry but I've already answered the questions you asked. I shall give my name if we have an opportunity to meet again.』
「……Is that so, I'm afraid that can't be helped. Okay, everyone. Let's go.」
Following Elena's instructions, as Ara, Vel, Kuust and Rei followed her out of the laboratory……the voice echoed again. At the same time, the movements of the people other than Rei and Set stopped.
『Sorry. I almost forgot. There's something I want to ask the person who brought the Griffon.』
TLN: Voice: Silly me, how could I forget the cliffhanger.

Tell Bill to wear his medals tomorrow," Vita Novick whispered to me in the lobby of our Portsmouth, England, hotel earlier this month. Nearby, her husband, Montrealer Bill Novick, a decorated Canadian Second World War veteran, stood in line waiting to check in. The couple was en route to Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, but the humble physician's only visible sign of being a living war hero, at age 95, was the blue Royal Canadian Air Force ball cap he sported.
Despite the staggeringly high casualty rate for Allied airmen who served with the Royal Air Force's Bomber Command during the war (50 per cent of the crews did not survive), Novick completed 35 missions over German-occupied Europe and kept his entire seven-man crew safe. For his careful and consistent piloting of Halifax bombers in 1944, including on D-Day itself, Novick was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1945.
Yet he insisted he was there to pay homage to the 14,000 Canadian infantry soldiers who stormed the French coast on D-Day. "They had a lot worse problems than I ever faced," Novick said.
This was Novick's third D-Day anniversary trip since 2004, but was the first time some of his adult children and grandchildren came along. "It's been a really moving experience," said Jason Novick, 30, of Calgary, who sat with his grandfather in the front row at the official Canadian ceremony on Juno Beach.
Watching from the public area was Canadian-born philanthropist Jonathan D. Fischer, who spent a gruelling week cycling across Normandy. Fischer, who now lives in Los Angeles, logged 700 kilometres on two wheels during the Wounded Warriors Canada Battlefield Bike Ride 2019 charity event. It raised $700,000 for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Fischer's father, Rafael Erwin Fischer, survived the Nazi invasion of his native Vienna, escaping as a teenager to England, where he later enlisted with the British army. He would move to Ontario in the 1950s and start a family, but he didn't talk much about the war. "We had to pry it out of him," Jonathan Fischer said.
Further up the beach, father and son duo Dylan and Howard Jacobs wore matching blue blazers, grey pants and shoes. Dylan Jacobs also sported a tie belonging to his late grandfather, Toronto Jewish war veteran Murray Jacobs, who died in 2015.
Dylan Jacobs, 21, choked back tears as he held a large portrait of his grandfather. "There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about what he did, and the way he did it as a proud Jewish man – not just for me but for all of us to be able to stand here today, proud, safe and welcomed in this world," he said. His grandfather served in France, Belgium and Holland, and helped invent the armoured personnel carrier during the battles for Falaise in August 1944.
Murray Jacobs also battled anti-Semitism from men wearing the same Canadian uniform. So did Ed Fitch's father. Fitch, a retired major general with the Canadian Army, came to Juno Beach from Victoria, to see where his late father, Burton, landed in 1944. "I picked up some pebbles and they will be on his headstone in Victoria," Fitch promised, his eyes filling with tears.
Jack Faibish was motivated to enlist in the Canadian Army in September 1939, while living in a Saskatchewan farming hamlet populated by German sympathizers. His relative, Gayle Kwinter, a retired Toronto teacher, came to France to visit his grave and to say Kaddish. She and her husband found Faibish's tombstone in the Bretteville sur Laize Canadian War Cemetery, southeast of Juno Beach.
"I brought a yahrzeit candle," she said. "It was very emotional."
After Bill Novick's discharge in 1945, he enrolled in medical school at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., but then interrupted his studies to take up arms as a Machal volunteer during Israel's War of Independence. Novick returned to Israel last year for the 70th anniversary. The idea to come to Normandy came together during Novick's 95th birthday party last December. As his family gathered, he realized his descendants were interested in what he lived through back when he was slightly younger than they are now.
"It's important that they understand what I did, what my generation was called upon to do," he said. "They are lucky they aren't called on to do the same thing."
Daniel Novick, 27, of Toronto, helped set up a computer link, so that a CBC reporter in Toronto could interview his grandfather live from aboard a ferry crossing the English Channel. "Make sure to smile," Daniel Novick reminded his grandfather. Daniel Novick remembers seeing the Distinguished Flying Cross medal hanging on the basement wall in his grandparents' St. Laurent, Que., home. That's where Novick's RCAF flight log book is stored, along with lots of memorabilia.
But Bill Novick, who still practices medicine, is too busy to dwell on that time. He only wore his medals, along with his Jewish war veteran beret, for the official D-Day ceremony. The next day, he was back in civilian clothes. "I really am not comfortable with too much attention," he explained.
Even Novick's wife, Vita, didn't always know how he earned his bravery medal. Before they were married in 1953, she said, "He told me he pulled his boys out of a burning brothel."

My name is Bev Jozwiak and I'm from Vancouver, Washington. 2020 has been a time for reflection. Stay at home orders due to Covid-19 has given this artist some time to just think and paint. I graduated with a Fine Arts degree and an Art History Minor in 1976. I come from a family of artists, but I am the first one to be formally trained.
My Dad did wildlife pastels, his sisters did oil still lifes, my grandmother drew, and there was even a painting of the house she was born in painted by her mother, so I come from a long line of artists. I cannot remember a time, when art has not been a big part of my life. As a child (this ages me), one of our neighbors was a key punch operator, when that was a thing working with computers. He used to bring home the extra cards, and would give me boxes of them. I would make paper dolls and clothes for them, and give them to my friends. I just don't remember a time when I wasn't creating.
The road to "making it" as an artist is not an overnight endeavor. After graduation, I didn't know how to make money with my art, so I got a "real job". I worked at said job for 18 years, doing some art on the side. When I turned 35 I had my one and only mid-life crisis. I had always wanted to be an artist, and if I didn't do it soon, it would never happen. I happened upon a book called Becoming A Successful Artist by Lewis Lehrman. It was an interview with 20 or so artists, all separately, asking them questions about how they "made it". The one thing that stuck out to me, that everyone in their own way said; was that it is tenacity over talent every time.
It was a lightbulb moment. I got busy. In college, I was pretty good at everything from stained glass to printmaking, a jack of all trades, and a master of none. So the first thing I did was decide what one art form, I could hone in on. I decided for me that would be watercolor. I had done it some, but started trying to paint daily. I was finding it hard to be Mom, work, and paint enough. My husband could see me struggling, and told me to quit my job and go for it. I did!
My Supplies
My supplies come from Cheap Joes Art Stuff. I use use colors from many different brands including Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, American Journey, and Holbein. For brushes, I like Cheap Joes Golden Fleece #10 round (my favorite inexpensive brush that I abuse horribly, and throw out often), 1" Flat (I rarely use), and a small detail brush (#4 golden fleece, or just something small with a good point).
I also use the Cheap Joe's Legend or Dream Catcher brushes when I need a brush that holds more water. #8 is my favorite. Have been using the Da Vinci Maestro #12 too, for that purpose. (my favorite mop brush, but it is expensive) My favorite paper is Stonehenge Aqua hot press by Legion. I guess if I narrow down what I paint, I would have to say it is things with eyes, tends to be people, animals, and birds.
Next Steps
With my skills getting a little better, I started entering local shows, and got into a small little gallery in my hometown. After starting to win a few awards, I decided to start entering competitions on a bigger scale. Since I live in Washington State, I decided I would try to earn my signature status in the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS).
You have to get into three of their International shows to achieve that status, entering only once a year; it was not going to be overnight. I started applying to bigger galleries, and also sending packets (back then things were done snail mail) to greeting card companies, calendar companies, etc. too.
I was finding some success, but jokingly said I had enough rejection letters to wallpaper my bathroom. You can't have a fragile ego, and survive this business. Art is subjective, and what is one person's cup of tea isn't another's. Along with those rejections, I managed to get some jobs doing some freelancing for card companies, and calendar companies. I even had a calendar one year with Hallmark.
Every time I would reach a goal, I set a new one. I got my NWWS signature, so I started applying to more. It took me many years, but I now have all the ones that I had my sites on, including Watercolor West (WW) Transparent Watercolor Society of American (TWSA), The National Watercolor Society (NWS) and The American Watercolor Society (AWS), and many more. It has been fraught with disappointments, and times of discouragement, but just enough "yeses" to keep me at it.
Getting my signatures, getting magazine articles written about me, being in the news, all of these things started getting my name out there. With that, artists wanted to learn what I knew, so I started teaching workshops.
I feel I have come full circle, from not having time to paint, because I needed a job, to not having enough time to paint, because I spend too much time traveling to teach, writing articles, entering competitions (and being the Juror too), and answering emails. Oh, and writing a book and creating a workshop DVD called "Painting Life with Life". Available through www.chrisunwin.net. This year has brought me back to the thing I love the most, just being in my studio and being able to create.

"Market volatility has picked up again over the past few weeks. Headlines highlight risks regarding interest rates, the Fed, China, house prices, auto sales, trade wars, and more. Uncertainty abounds. But doesn't it always? I have no view on whether the recent volatility will continue for a while, or whether the market will be back at all-time highs before we know it. I remain focused on preserving and growing our capital, and continue to believe that the best way to do so is via a value-driven, concentrated, patient approach. I shun consensus holdings, rich valuations, and market fads, in favor of solid, yet frequently off-the-beaten-path, businesses run by excellent, aligned management teams, purchased at deep discounts to intrinsic value," are the words of Maran Capital's Dan Roller. His stock picks have been beating the S&P 500 Index handily. We pay attention to what hedge funds are doing in a particular stock before considering a potential investment because it works for us. So let's take a glance at the smart money sentiment towards Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE) and see how it was affected.
Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE) shareholders have witnessed a decrease in hedge fund sentiment in recent months. LITE was in 31 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. There were 33 hedge funds in our database with LITE holdings at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that lite isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
Hedge funds' reputation as shrewd investors has been tarnished in the last decade as their hedged returns couldn't keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. Our research has shown that hedge funds' large-cap stock picks indeed failed to beat the market between 1999 and 2016. However, we were able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the market by 32 percentage points since May 2014 through March 12, 2019 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that'll significantly underperform the market. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 and they lost 27.5% through March 12, 2019. That's why we believe hedge fund sentiment is an extremely useful indicator that investors should pay attention to.
Let's take a look at the fresh hedge fund action regarding Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE).
What does the smart money think about Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE)?
Heading into the first quarter of 2019, a total of 31 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of -6% from the previous quarter. On the other hand, there were a total of 28 hedge funds with a bullish position in LITE a year ago. So, let's examine which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
Among these funds, Citadel Investment Group held the most valuable stake in Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE), which was worth $41.4 million at the end of the third quarter. On the second spot was Renaissance Technologies which amassed $35.5 million worth of shares. Moreover, AQR Capital Management, Millennium Management, and Polar Capital were also bullish on Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE), allocating a large percentage of their portfolios to this stock.
Judging by the fact that Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE) has witnessed declining sentiment from hedge fund managers, it's safe to say that there lies a certain "tier" of money managers who were dropping their full holdings in the third quarter. It's worth mentioning that Howard Marks's Oaktree Capital Management cut the biggest position of all the hedgies followed by Insider Monkey, valued at close to $19.2 million in stock. Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson's fund, Adage Capital Management, also dropped its stock, about $6.1 million worth. These transactions are interesting, as total hedge fund interest dropped by 2 funds in the third quarter.
Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE) but similarly valued. These stocks are United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X), Viper Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ:VNOM), Guardant Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:GH), and MorphoSys AG (NASDAQ:MOR). This group of stocks' market valuations resemble LITE's market valuation.

|Total Value of HF Positions (x1000)

View table here if you experience formatting issues.
As you can see these stocks had an average of 12.5 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $139 million. That figure was $215 million in LITE's case. United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Guardant Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:GH) is the least popular one with only 7 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks Lumentum Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LITE) is more popular among hedge funds. Our calculations showed that top 15 most popular stocks) among hedge funds returned 24.2% through April 22nd and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by more than 7 percentage points. Hedge funds were also right about betting on LITE as the stock returned 43.4% and outperformed the market by an even larger margin. Hedge funds were clearly right about piling into this stock relative to other stocks with similar market capitalizations.

I recently purchased an accessory for my standard Ambutech Long Cane, The Pharos Cane Light. This cost me £15.99 from the RNIB shop UK. This is basically a small torch that can be added to any Ambutech Long Canes to help increase visibility at night times. The Pharos Cane Light attaches to your cane with a press on clip and can be removed for charging. It provides a small area of light around your cane tip that can help you when using your cane to scan for obstacles. This light also makes you more visible to motorists and other when out at night.
To set up the cane light you first plug it into any usb charger to charge the inbuilt battery. When it is charging you can position the push on clip onto your cane. For me I decided to place it at the top of my cane just under the handle. But you can position it where is suits you best. Once the cane light is charged which should only take about 50 mins you can just push it onto the clip on your cane and you are ready to go. When you want to turn the light on you just rotate the bottom of the device clockwise, and to turn it off just twist it anti clockwise. You should get around 45 min light time from one charge.
For me this is a fantastic addition to my standard long cane and the price of it makes it more appealing. I love being more visible when out a night and have even used it when returning home to find the keyhole for my door by detaching it from my cane. I think that only having around 45 min light time is a bit short. However, you can charge this device anywhere due to it using a standard USB connection for charging. It is very easy to install on your cane and comes with different press on clips to fit a range of canes. I would give this 4 Top Tech Tips out of 5.

Our dogs teach us lessons all the time.
My dog, Maggie, is no exception. She does unconditional love extremely well. She is strict about her biscuit sand eating schedule. She's a pretty linear dog. But one thing that she has taught me over and over is this:
It's all in the belief. I'll explain:
She is 14 years old. That's 98 in human years. As you can see, she looks good, in spite of needing a good wash and grooming. It's still very wintry here and I am reluctant to cut her hair too close until the weather breaks.
The most amazing thing about her is this: she doesn't think she is old.
I doubt that she thinks about it at all – she doesn't share those things with me. But when she meets another dog, the first thing she wants to do is play. She immediately shifts into the play position.
This morning, we met a man walking a visibly old dog. I asked him if his dog was friendly and he told me she was very old and not interested in playing.
When I told him how old Maggie is, he was incredulous. He said: "I thought she was 2 or 3."
A little further along, we met a small, white dog who was looking for a playmate. She didn't have to look twice. She and Maggie tore around a field having a great old chase. I finally put the brakes on, afraid that she is much more optimistic about her ability to walk tomorrow.
We walked 45 minutes in a beautiful, wild park. At the end, she hopped into my car without hesitation and we were on our way back home. She's having a good nap, but is losing no sleep thinking she's something she's not – old – at least in her mind.
If you know someone who is feeling old, share Maggie's story. They may redefine themselves and play again.

Komachi-san, Thank you for your comments on XSL sent to XSL-Editors at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xsl-editors/2004JanMar/0011.html The XSL FO Subgroup discussed most of your comments at our recent meeting. I have been tasked with requesting clarification of one of your comments. One of your requested extensions is as follows: ------------------ axf:base-uri The axf:base-uri specifies the location which becomes the base of relative URI. Value: <uri-specification> Initial: empty string Applies to: all formatting objects Inherited: yes Percentages: N/A The axf:base-uri is applied to all relative URI in a document. When making links using fo:basic-link and specify relative URI, the location that is specified using axf:base-uri is interpreted to be base URI. If this property is omitted or this has empty string, the base location is interpreted as current XML file. -------------------- The standard way to affect the base URI (as defined by RFC 2396 [1]) would be to incorporate recognition and use of xml:base [2] in XSL-FO processors. The base URI so determined would then affect all attributes of typw <uri-specification>). But we are not sure that is what you really want. For example, the actual request is to affect the external-destination of fo:basic-link, but we don't see how this can be made to work. When a link is activated, the current document is presumably the PDF rendering which is a resource that has no particular relationship to the FO result document that was the current XML document when the base URI was determined. That is, if I processed XML plus XSL to produce PDF on my machine and then sent you that PDF (or put the PDF up on the internet), having some path in that PDF whose base URI points to someplace on my machine would not work. Can you please elaborate, given user scenarios, the situation you are hoping to address with axf:base-uri. regards, Paul Grosso for the XSL FO subgroup

Kangetsu-no-yube, the moon-viewing party, is an annual event held in Daikaku-ji Temple where is well known as a flower temple since Ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arrangement) was originated in this temple. Daikaku-ji Temple was established in 876 in Arashiyama area and it used to be a Rikyu (villa) of Saga emperor at the early Heian period, about 1,200 years ago. Since the premises in the site are really large, there are a lot of enjoyable spots, including a pond with a beautiful garden, a picture of dragon on the ceiling, and some traditional buildings that you can't miss!
Watching the full moon rise over the horizon and climb steadily in to the sky while casting its reflection on the picturesque lake below is a beautiful sight to enjoy. Maybe you'll even be inspired enough to write a poem like the nobles of old?

BMW has a hydrogen-powered 5 Series
Battery-powered EVs are in the spotlight right now, but that doesn't mean car manufacturers aren't looking at alternative fuel sources. At its "Innovation Day" in France, BMW unveiled a prototype 5 Series GT that uses a hydrogen fuel cell to power its electric motor. We've seen the company experiment in this space before -- the Hydrogen 7 used the element to power a combustion engine -- but this is its first complete FCV package. Unlike the Hydrogen 7, which managed roughly 124 miles on hydrogen, the modified 5 Series can easily top 300. With 245 horsepower under the hood it's no slouch either, although we doubt it would keep pace with BMW's electric i8 in a drag race.
BMW is working alongside Toyota, which created the $57,000 Mirai, to develop an industry-approved set of components by 2020. That's a long way off, but BMW hopes it'll lead to cars that combine hydrogen fuel cells with its electric eDrive system. It might not be a one-shot solution to gasoline -- building an affordable, pervasive network of hydrogen stations isn't easy -- but BMW and others are keen to explore every avenue.
At its R&D event, BMW also showed off a new water injection system for its 1 Series hatchback. The liquid is fired into the engine as a fine spray and quickly evaporates, cooling combustion temperatures by roughly 25 degrees Celsius. A similar technology has been trialled in a BMW M4, but there's a key difference here: the M4 was a MotoGP safety car and drew water from a five-litre tank. The 1 Series, meanwhile, never has to be replenished because it syphons condensed water from the air conditioning system. Water injection is designed for turbocharged engines, but BMW says it can be fine-tuned to improve either power or fuel economy. So whether you're driving around the block or the iconic Nürburgring, one day this system could push your car just that little bit further.

The Treasury Monument in Petra has always been a mystery. No one was sure when the monument was built, nor exactly what its purpose was, although we present an argument on this website that it was the city library. Secondly, since the bottom of the monument was damaged by repeated flooding in the last millennium, the plaza in front of the Treasury has been covered with tons of debris. Some of us have often wondered what was below all that material. Then in 2004 the Jordanian Ministry of Antiquities start an excavation of the Plaza area in front of the Treasury Monument. The excavation was carried out by two archeologists, Suleiman Farajat and Sami Al-Nawafleh. In December 2004 they presented a paper on their dig at the "Second International Conference on Science and Technology in Archaeology and Conservation". Their paper was published in the May to December 2004 Annual of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan.
When you see the Treasury, it looks like it is at ground level. You can walk right up to it. Upon closer inspection you can see that the front of the Treasury was damaged and that it has been repaired sometime back in history. If the plaza is far below the surface then the Treasury would have been high up on the side of the cliff.
The best way to estimate the level of the plaza floor, is to look at the tombs that are on your right as you exit the siq. At this point, most people are looking at the Treasury, and they fail to lookto the right. there beside them is the 'top' of a djinn rock, and just behind it is the 'top' of a tomb peeking out of the ground. This tomb has recently been excavated and then covered over.
Also, the excavation of the rooms or tombs below the Treasury have also been covered over. However, thanks to Andrew Johnson, who snapped these photos in October 2003, we can see what was discovered.
When Petra was first discovered by Johannes L. Burckhardt in 1812, there was a stream running through the siq and in front of the Treasury monument. This stream can be seen in many old paintings. The dam in front of the siq was repaired in the 1960's so that the water flowed through an ancient tunnel and away from the center of Petra. The area in front of the Treasury was leveled to make it easier for tourists. During the last couple of years there has been an ongoing effort to clean up the siq and restore some of the Roman road as well as other sites within the siq.
